It was time for an oil change and I decided to replace fluids and filters.
NH P/N: SBA360720020, ELEMENT (FUEL FILTER) $2.80
NH P/N: SBA340500720, FILTER, (HYDROSTATIC OIL) $33.52
NH P/N: SBA340500890, FILTER (HYDRAULIC OIL) $20.34
NH P/N: SBA140517020, FILTER (ENGINE OIL) $10.96
86549700, FILTER (AIR, OUTER) $31.23
86549701, FILTER (AIR, INNER) $12.24
Alright gentlemen - here are some issues. First all of all the oil filter they sold me is a cheap looking black painted import unit (from Japan) and is about 1/2 the size of the unit I replaced. The one that was on there is a white (one can write a date/hours on the white one) NH brand unit that is U.S. made and has a NH P/N 86546618 - very robust looking. As for the price - of course it is too high but jeez, for $11 that I paid I would expect a filter like what was on it when I bought it from the dealer. I understand that it is OK to have Japan imported stuff - but this thing looked like a Taiwan or Chinese knock off with Kanji writing on it and such - the new junky looking unit is a Denso brand (P/N 115010-5350).
As for the air filters, supposedly the inner only needs replacement after 1000 hours. Sorry - but for the price - I will replace both critical filters. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
As for the hydro filter- wish I could get it a Fleetfarm. That sucker is really expensive! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif Too expensive I think. Will be looking for new source.
As for the hydraulic filter - you CAN get the unit at Fleetfarm - even the dealer said so (about $8.50).
As for the fuel filter - would have paid more. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif It really did it's job.
Questions:
1) What is the P/N of your engine oil filter? How big is it? Is it the Denso brand? The dealer that sold the TC25D to me is one of the largest in the US. I am confident they know what filter to put on the tractor (the beefier NH brand unit). Concerned that my local dealer sold me a cheap filter. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
2) Other source for Hydrostatic filter?
Remember to spray down your tilt wheel mechanism before it stops working (dealer reminded me). My telescopic function has been stuck from day one, however my tilt function only started to stick (would not lock in position) just last week. I told dealer - he said spray it and I did clearing up the issue immediately.
