Also, I really wanted to test a synthetic filter (these are all paper based), I think fleetguard makes a synthetic filter with m16x1.5 thread, but they dont show much information about the filters on the website, and it takes fleetpride a while to get them, but if anyone knows of a fleetguard or...

Hello all, I did a basic fuel filter test that others may find interesting, I was testing diesel fuel filters with a m16x1.5 thread, specifically for the Donaldson P562263 or P560382 base. Keep in mind, all test results are subjective, this is just for entertainment. What was tested: Ability...

Ah, so from that article that @DriveHard provided (thank you very much for that, I want to learn more about hydraulics!), it says: "This is less efficient but offers a much more stable control" I assume less efficient means more heat in this case, so knowing that I'm sure the...

Thank you this is great information! I cant thank you enough, I will be reading all about the negative flow control system. I wish I had a schematic, but I have a few pictures, the solenoid valve block you see is right after the pilot filter, those hoses get distributed to valves/spools, pilot...

Hi everyone, I have a (new) John Deere 35G/Hitachi, but that does not really matter because this should be a more general question. What is the typical operating temperature for the hydraulic pump? and after operating for a while, how hot do the cylinders feel? And what is your ambient...

That is a very good looking filter, is it made by Purolator? Those filters are not really heard of in the diesel world. Good idea on the shop vac, that should get the lose stuff. I just think its silly that a filter manufacturer would let something like that leave the building, they should be...

I know, tell me about it. Seems like you pay 2x what it used to be, and get 2x the issues, crazy world now.

Yeah, its from inside the threaded hole, on the louvers. Its after the filter media itself, so those small particles will be going to the engine. I will be checking all filters I buy now, never really thought to check it before. I get it from fleetpride, so any defected filter goes back to the...

Hi all, newbie here on the forums. So by now we all know to wipe the threads on every new filter, I do occasionally see small particles from the threads, I'm sure thats common with all/most oil filters. Filters in question: * Donaldson P502051 (made in Indonesia) * Baldwin B161-S (made in...
