Hydraulic filter question for L235dt

[labeef47]

My L235dt has a canister hydraulic/transmission filter near the hydro pump on the engine. I do not have a dealer near me and I wondered if there is an after market filter from NAPA, or online?
I cannot find a number on the canister filter or any info on a Kubota part number in my manual or shop manual to go from. Any ideas?

If you remove the housing carefully you will find a cleanable filter in side.

I checked the site from Pat and got a number for the filter and it looks like Messicks have one with a new "replaced by" number.

This is a spin on canister type filter. I have read that they are cleanable and reusable, I have never seen a spin on filter that was reusable. Any thoughts on that?

It is not a spin on filter. There is a screen to clean and re-install.

If you'd like to change it to a spin on filter it's not too tough. Cut the line, remove the existing filter housing, install the fitting for the spin on filter, and you're done! I changed out mine on my L305.

There is always a huge amount of confusion on the older L's as multiple models or even types (like power steering or 4wd) in the same time frame had different filter systems.

While they could have one or more (some had 2 filters) of the following: Reusable screen filter, Reusable Cartridge filter, Disposable Cartridge filter, and Disposable Spin On filter.

And originally there was some Reusable (washable) spin on filters, they have all but been replaced with disposables.

So don't assume that because you have a L245 it's going to be similar to the L235 or L225, or any other L, this also goes for the Grays, like L1500, L1501, L2202, and so on.

The L235 used a disposable spin on filter, New P/N H3840-37710, in some ways it was ahead of it's time!

Thanks Wolfman, that's my pump and filter in your post. I knew some had screens and later spin ons, just wanted to get the correct replacement number. Thanks to all for the info. Over and out, Labeef

I stand corrected. I'm in the corner with my dunce cap on!
