Bobcat CT235 TLB, Wheel Horse 518xi
So i bought a used CT235. Oil looks nasty, so i went and got oil and a filter. Drained the oil, pulled the filter, and the new one doesn't fit. The new one is the Napa 1324. The old one is a Bobcat filter, but i can't find a valid part number on it.

The threaded hole in the new one is bigger than the old one. I brought it to a parts store, and the wix they have is identical to the Napa. What do i do?

My next step is to try a Bobcat dealer to see if they can figure out what the old one is, but no one will be open until Monday. Any ideas?

Have any Kioti dealers near you?

Kioti dealers are a bit far. The one that came off the tractor uses 18x1.5 threads, nearest i can tell. The NAPA and Wix ones are 20x1.5

You can always put the old one back on until you find the right sized new one.

I have a wix 51324 on my ct235 right now. Perfect fit. Going to change pan and oil on it tomorrow. I have a new 51324 I will put on then. May take a picture or two of my oil pan change and comment more at that time.

The WIX 51324 is identical to the Napa filter i have. The NAPA guy says Wix makes the Napa filters too. The parts store guy pulled the 51324 and we measured. Identical. 1324 = 51324

I know. Thank you for the help. This is frustrating. I want to run the thing, but can't.... );

That's the part the filter screws into. I'm wondering if someone swapped that out at some point. Any idea if these are locally available?
