Massey ferguson filter cross reference

[mapper]

I have had no luck in finding a filter cross reference for my tractor. I have been getting my filters from my local dealer, they come in plain white boxes with an AGCO part number sticker on the box.
Today as I was doing an engine oil change I noticed that the replacement filter was a Denso filter, it was also about half the size of the last filter that I also purchased from the same dealer a few years ago. Taking a look at the old filter I noticed that it was a Mitsubishi filter, I was able to cross reference it to a Wix filter.
Wix 52344
It's also about half the price of what the dealer charges.....

Wix was bought out by a German company--MANN+HUMMEL. I've seen a reduction in Wix filters over the last year or so although MH claims the filters are still being made. I can see that dwindle even more since MH is pushing their "Wavelock" filters.

I have found that NAPA is a good source of cross references for all kinds of filters, be they hydraulic filters, oil filters or fuel filters. I am not saying NAPA filters are the "best." I am saying that dealer filters are usually priced above their market value and I think there are multiple brands of filters every bit as "good." By the way, I do not have that good a memory to find them, but a couple of years ago there were threads here on TBN where people spent large amounts of time & effort describing and researching the comparative innards of oil filters (including graphic examples of the structure of various brands of filters.) I do not find one brand of filter enough better than another to matter so long as you are using widely sold products with a large user base.

Justy a FYI, the NAPA filters are manufactured by WIX...

Times are changing. Napa branded filters are owned by Mann&Hummel (as is Purolator now), and depending on which particular filter, and manufacturer date, it could be made made by Premium Guard, Wix, Baldwin…., and made in various countries including China, US, etc…
Buyer beware
