Suction Oil filter GL5240

[Stumpuller]

I am about to do the PM on changing the suction oil filter. The filter I have is P/N HH670-37710. I compared the filter the one that is on the right side of the tractor and replacement looks much smaller than the OE filter. Do I have the wrong part or do I need a new P/N?

Went back to the dealer and explained the difference in size. Actually the service manager came to my assisance. After searching he found the HHTAO-37710 with the magnet. Both filters are labled suction oil filter.

I read in another forum about putting a small vacuum cleaner on the fill opening while changing the suction oil filter so you do not lose much hydro oil. has anyone tried this?
