I changed the HST Trans oil Filter with P/N HHTA0-59900. It did not have a magnetic filter nor did the new one. I was also given a HH670-37710 Suction Filter. Where is this filter located? I see no reference in the manual except on the service interval index showing hydraulic oil filter to change at 400. I thought on the GL 5240 hydraulic and transmisson oil where in the same system.
Suction filter on L5240 location

The Hydraulic filter is on the right side of the transmission and it should have a magnet in it. The HST filter is on the left side and it does not have a magnet. Sure, they both filter the same oil but the HST filter is a finer filter to further protect the HST components, it also is a heavier constructed filter because it operates under full HST charge pressure.
