MF 1754 HST Transmission Suction Filter

The spin-on filter will be much easier the next time around because of the added washer.

I will have to remember the crease trick with the rubber elbow.

I did have a little difficulty in removing the spin on hydraulic filter, it is between the previously mentioned loader subframe and the transmission housing with pretty tight clearance. I was able to remove it with a plier type filter wrench. The main issue was that it had been installed by a gorilla then painted in place. The original filter came off badly crushed and dented.
On the bright side it is pretty well protected being tucked up there.
Next time I service it I will start by removing the strut.:thumbsup:
