    Kubota HHK70-14070 HST trans filter cut open

    Originally Posted By: IndyIan Is this for a tractor or a lawn tractor? My Kioti DK40SE had a fair amount of junk in the hyd/HST/final drive fluid for the first change as well.

    Mahle OC705 7800 Miles cut open - TORN!!!

    Originally Posted By: Gebo If you were to ask me, which you didn't, I would say this filter had filtered more than it could filter. It looks like it had been forced to filter more solids than liquids. If this were my car, which it isn't, and I liked this car, I would do a few 2000 mile oil...

    If you could only have one....

    I guess number 1 because you could do the most jobs with it, but the lack of a ratchet would be frustrating and make work tedious. Number 3 is a close second, but for the times when you need a wrench you'd be out of luck.

    Originally Posted By: PimTac I would make an inquiry with Mahle to confirm the manufacturer of this filter. Not sure what they will say but that name is usually associated with good quality. Thanks for the suggestion. I have just done so. Automated email says I'll receive a response in 24...

    Mahle OC705 7800 Miles cut open - TORN!!!

    Originally Posted By: jeepman3071 How much was that? Looks to me like it is a more of a budget filter, like the Purolator Classic. Actually this filter was like $6 on Rockauto and it's not listed as an economy filter. Supposed to be OE quality...

After opening up a couple of FL-820's and seeing pretty much the same thing I saw...

    Kubota HHK70-14070 HST trans filter cut open

    If you look at Tractorbynet or most other tractor forums pretty much everyone who does their first hydraulic service on a Kubota has lots of glitter and shavings. They require a break-in service at 50 hours and man oh man do they have lots of shavings in their first 50. I really don't know...

    Kubota HHK70-14070 HST trans filter cut open

    200 hours on this Kubota HST filter with lots of really cold and really hot weather operation. Lookin' good, not much to see here. Built like a tank like all the other Kubota filters I've seen, but for $23.00 it better be! Has the typical kubota glitter from break in. Looks bad, but they all...

    Mahle OC705 7800 Miles cut open - TORN!!!

    I just changed the oil in my 2003 Town Car 4.6. Was running Mobil 1 5W30 and this filter since March 2017. Car is garage kept, so pretty much zero start-ups below freezing, 90% highway driven. Changed at 12,600km's (7800 miles) and the OLM was reading 29%. I bought this filter on Rock Auto late...

    Who has a vehicle lift in their garage/pole barn?

    I have a danmar cadet 6000xl scissor lift. It's a compromise over a 2 post for sure, but it was cheap, didn't need installation and I can park on top of it without bashing my doors on vertical posts. It lifts to 48" and will support 3 tons. Locks are automatic. It's rough/impossible to do...

    M1 5W-30, 7K, 2017 2.3 EB Explorer

    That's a very nice UOA especially considering the low miles. I was expecting more wear metals and silicon due to the low mileage. I'm impressed.

    Accidentally depressurized the A/C

    Chalk it up to experience. At least you weren't injured in the process. +1 get the system vacuumed and recharged. It's probably going to need some PAG oil too. Definitely tell the shop what happened so they can check for leaks around that area just in case.
