Description
When you're running Caterpillar equipment or Freeman hay balers hard during long workdays, the last thing you need is hydraulic system problems slowing you down. Contaminated hydraulic oil can cause sluggish operation, overheating, and expensive component failures that'll put you out of commission right when you need your equipment most. This Baldwin hydraulic filter keeps your fluid clean and your systems running smooth.
What You're Getting
- Viton gasket designed specifically for high-heat applications that won't fail under extreme temperatures
- 9 7/16 inch length with 3 13/16 inch outer diameter provides plenty of filtration capacity for demanding work
- 1 3/8-12 thread size ensures secure mounting on compatible filter bases
- Quality Baldwin construction that stands up to pressure spikes and contamination loads
- Compatible with multiple filter bases including OB8711, OB8712, OB8720, and others for flexible installation
Built for Heavy-Duty Work
This filter fits Caterpillar equipment and Freeman hay balers that see serious use in construction, material handling, and agricultural operations. Whether you're moving dirt with a Cat loader, operating hydraulic attachments, or baling hay with your Freeman equipment, clean hydraulic fluid keeps these machines responsive and reliable when you're pushing to get the job done.
Made to Handle the Heat
The Viton gasket on this filter is what sets it apart from standard hydraulic filters. Baldwin builds filters to handle harsh conditions, and this high-temperature gasket won't crack or leak when your hydraulics get hot during extended operation or extreme working conditions. That's critical for equipment that runs hard in dusty, demanding environments.
Installation Notes
This is a spin-on design that threads directly onto your hydraulic filter base—no special tools or modifications needed. Apply a thin coat of clean hydraulic oil to the gasket before installation, then hand-tighten three-quarters turn after the gasket contacts the mounting surface. The included Viton gasket ensures a leak-free seal that stays put even under high pressure and temperature cycles.
