Folks, here is the OE hydro/hydraulic filter off of my 57.1hr 2022 John Deere 1025R. This filter is either unlabeled due to being OE or just covered in black paint... I think the later is the case as it's probably installed then the entire hydro unit is painted. The replacement LVA16054 has Donaldson logos on it, so I am to believe thats the manufacturer.
Few weeks back when purchasing this filter, the local JD Dealer Service Manager was kinda weird with me for wanting to change the filter and Low-Vis Hygard fill on the tractor with only 50hrs. Said don't do it until 200hrs. I am pleased I followed my intuition as this filter was grey with material and the suction tube + magnet both needed cleaning. I am thinking the 50 hour break in change for the hydro/hydraulic system is not a bad thing, plus they used to preach the 50hr service interval. Me thinks its a "lower TCO" bragging point.
Filter seems well built, nice baseplate, pleats look decent -- maybe a little wavy but not a big concern as the media is wire-backed and seems to be a synthetic media. Not like I have much of a choice anyways as I have never found a cross-reference and Donaldson never replied to me!
Anyrate, enjoy!
