Description
When your International starts running rough or losing power, there's a good chance your fuel filter is loaded with the dirt, water, and debris that farm fuel picks up along the way. Clean fuel is what keeps those high-pressure injection systems happy, and contaminated fuel can destroy expensive injection pumps and fuel lines faster than you'd think. This Baldwin BF978 filter catches all that gunk before it can cause costly damage, keeping your machine running smooth when there's work to do.
What You're Getting
- Spin-on design with 1-14 thread that installs quickly and cleanly thanks to the integral post seal
- Generous 8 23/32 inch length provides plenty of filtration capacity for long service intervals
- 3 11/16 inch outer diameter fits standard filter mounting locations without clearance issues
- Robust housing and quality filter media handle temperature swings, pressure spikes, and constant vibration that comes with real work applications
- Compatible with FB46185 base for versatile mounting options
Built for Real Farm Work
This filter fits across International Harvester machines that put in long hours under demanding conditions. Whether you're running a combine during harvest, operating a loader around the farm, or pulling heavy implements through tough ground, clean fuel delivery keeps your International running at peak performance when every hour counts.
Made to Last
Baldwin has been making filters for heavy equipment since before hydraulics were common, and they understand what farm and construction work demands. The filter media traps water and particles while maintaining proper fuel flow, and the housing stands up to the constant vibration and harsh conditions your International faces day after day.
Installation Notes
This is a direct spin-on replacement that goes on in minutes. Always relieve fuel system pressure before removing the old filter and have a drain pan ready to catch any spillage. Prime the fuel system properly after installation to prevent air pockets from reaching the injection pump. The integral post seal makes for a clean, leak-free installation every time.
