John Deere / Yanmar fuel filter cut open

[Nate]

I just took this off my 110TLB (backhoe), common spin-on fuel filter on Yanmar engines now. No idea who makes it. Just comes in a JD box and says "fuel filter" along with some asian writing. Thick can, P-mould gasket, coil spring. Seems pretty well constructed, over 500 hours on this one (oops.). New filter even comes with the gasket pre-lubed!

Look like an oil filter. Assume they use different adhesives and gasketing. Tokyo Roki?

Thats a pretty good size filter should do 500 hrs no problem.

Filter still looks good for the hours. Clearly been seeing nothing but clean fuel. My Kioti uses a cartridge fuel filter with 100 hour changes.

my JD 4600 uses a cartidge filter as well. The new tractors and even the JD diesel mowers have a spin on filter mounted to the engine as well as a water separator / filter (plastic screen) on the chassis.

I wanted to change it since the manual says 400 hours and its been on since new.

It is a good idea to go with the MFGs recommendations in my opinion. Especially with a pricy hoe.

Totally agree. Nothing good can come from trying to get away cheap with a pricey hoe.
