I have a 2015 John Deere X300 with a FS600V-BS21-R engine. I went to my dealer get the oil filter and he sold me the AM125424 filter. This filter does not fit my engine. It is too large in diameter. The previous owner had installed a Wix 51365 filter.
I looked up the online catalog and it shows the AM125424 filter as well. It also lists one other filter, AM107423 , but this is for the FH491V engine. The AM107423 filter seems to be about the right dimensions, but doesn't cross reference the Wix 51365 that is on my tractor now. Both of the aforementioned John Deere filters seem to have standard threads, while the Wix I have installed now, uses metric threads.
So what gives? Why does my tractor engine have a filter installed that shouldn't fit?
