Description
When your diesel tractor starts running rough or losing power, the problem often starts at the fuel tank. Clean fuel is absolutely critical for keeping your tractor running smoothly, especially with today's high-pressure injection systems that don't tolerate dirt and water very well. This Baldwin primary fuel filter with open port is your first line of defense against contaminated fuel that can shut you down in the middle of harvest or planting.
What You're Getting
- Catches all the gunk before it can damage your expensive fuel system components - dirt, rust, and water don't stand a chance
- Open port design provides convenient access for water drainage and system priming
- M16 x 1.5-6H thread size fits securely in your factory fuel system mounting
- Generous 7 5/32 inch length and 3 23/32 inch diameter provide excellent filtration capacity for extended service intervals
- Baldwin quality construction handles the pressure and vibration of real farm work
Built for Real Farm Work
This filter protects Case diesel engines in loaders and a wide range of Case-International, New Holland, and Steyr tractors. Whether you're running a compact utility tractor for livestock chores, a mid-size row crop machine for planting and cultivating, or a larger tractor pulling heavy implements, this primary filter removes contaminants before they reach your injection pump and injectors.
Made to Last
Farm fuel doesn't always come from the cleanest sources, and moisture condensation in fuel tanks creates problems over time. A clogged or failing fuel filter can cause rough running, power loss, hard starting, and even complete engine shutdown in the middle of critical farm work. This filter removes contaminants before they can clog injectors or damage your fuel pump, saving you from expensive repairs and downtime during busy seasons.
Installation Notes
Installation is straightforward, but always relieve fuel system pressure before removing the old filter, and be ready to catch any fuel spillage. Keep the fuel system primed after installation to avoid air pockets. The open port makes priming easier and allows you to drain any water that settles in the filter. Consider keeping a spare filter in your shop - fuel filters are cheap insurance compared to the cost of fuel system repairs, and changing them regularly keeps your tractor running reliably when you need it most.
