I bought a used KX121-3. Want to do the usual service, change oil and filters. It seem I can't fine where the hyd. filter is at on this thing. I know this maybe a dumb question, but can somebody point me in the right direction please.

I'm fairly certain the hud filter is located inside the tank, should be two there actually, a suction and return. I think the return is supposed to be changed every 500 hrs and the suction and fluid every 1000 hrs. there should be a plate bolted to the top of the tank with maybe with a breather on top of it, unbolt the plate and remove it and the return filter should be attached to it. I belive this is what you will find, it is quite similar to my 161

Tags is correct, there are also pilot control filters for the joy stick controls. Getting ready to d the same service on my KX121-3 as well. I have done the suction before but not the return or pilots. Excellent machine I shall say, get the grading bucket for additional capability. Good luck.

Thanks for the replies. I thought they were in the tank. Looked all around the 121-3 and could not anything that looked like a filter. Use to work on helicopters and i knew there had to be two filters in a hydraulic system. Are those pilot filters hard to replace?

I haven't replaced mine yet, they are small and I believe they are in the engine compartment above the main pump.
