Kioti filter cross reference number list (all models)

[murph1]

It does take guts to use the cross referenced donaldson hydraulic filter in place of the kioti to save 60 bucks. Would be nice if the substituted filter was verified.

And is thats the HST filter or the hydraulic filter. Big difference in price.

I believe it's the HST filter

Why does it take guts?

As Eric noted above, Donaldson isn't Fram And, Eric should know, Donaldson is a Minnesota company!

Keep in mind that Kioti doesn't spec anything exotic for their fluids. In this case it's about the filtration level and pressure cutoffs; and here too, I doubt that anything magical (above industry norm) is happening. Just comes down to whether it's a quality filter.


FYI - The Kioti 38021 filter weighs in at around 1 3/4 lbs (less 1 oz - you do the math)

I don't think Kioti would admit that the donaldson filter is equal or better than theirs. What would happen if the hst would fail and Kioti saw this filter being used, would they honor their guarantee?

My sister worked for Donaldson as a Senior Process Engineer (she designed and set up assembly lines) up until a former company she worked for 20 years called her up and asked her to come back because they needed to make Honda and Chrysler parts.

has anyone actually verified that the donaldson hst filter is the same as the genuine kioti filter? This would be a big savings.

So I gave my local diesel shop a call asking about the hydrostatic filter. I used this part number T4125-38021 which I got off a kioti parts website. The diesel shop claimed that Donaldson has a filter here is the website I checked it at Donaldson P573481 HYDRAULIC FILTER, SPIN-ON Engine & Hydraulic
The Kioti parts website shows a connection adaptor part#T4125-38051. The link above shows a filter that looks like it would fit with an oring to go onto the adaptor. Any thoughts?
The kioti parts website I'm using is

Has anyone actually verified that the donaldson and kioti hst filters are the same?

From what I can see without cutting the things apart, the HST filter looks the same (as in the tool marks). I can also tell you that years ago my sister built the assembly lines for this type of filter in a couple of Asian locations. Sadly I never asked for confirmation while she worked at Donaldson but what I can share is that Donaldson wanted her skill set after she had built assembly lines for Apple iPods at FoxCom and the original Mac Airbook (meaning shedloads of robotic machining and finishing tools) before her original employer hired her back to build assembly lines for auto parts again.

Is there any way to find out if donaldson makes the hst filter for kioti?
That would be like a $60.00 savings.

I just got off the phone with donaldson. They said that the Donaldson P573481 is made by Hitachi, and is a good cross-reference to the kioti T4125-38021 HST filter.
