Hydraulic Filter and Gasket

[William Willard]

Barrier2 -- Try ryderfleetproducts.com -- That is who ships the filters for Fleet Services -- The gasket, I had to get from rvchassisparts.com , but Ryder Fleet may have them -- I got the AW46 fluid from Sam`s Club for less than $40.00, & that is for a 5 gallon bucket -- Cosco probably has it also -- I didn`t measure it, but I guess that I pumped 3 gallons from the reservoir -- If you try to pull the filters with a clothes hanger, you`ll have one heck of a mess -- Pump the reservoir dry, then you can see how to line the filters up, & secure them --I measured where the oil level was before removing any oil, then filled new oil to that line before replacing the top -- Bill Willard

I'll give them a call on Monday. I still cannot believe how difficult this search has been. I just hope I am close to being finished, glad I started searching way before I needed to replace them. I have spent HOURS on the Internet over the last week.

What kind of a mess Bill will a coat hanger leave? I have used it and so have a lot of others the filters will more than likely be stuck together and all three will come out together. You don't have to line the filters up as they just slide down the tube.

How frequently do you guys do the filter and fluid change? I don't have the original owners records so I'm thinking about doing this service.

I found the black cannister and it also has a dipstick. Looks like red dextron in the reservoir.

If I read this correctly, the actions are remove the top, drain the reservoir and replace the filters. Once the filters are in refill the reservoir.

Do we leave the rest of the fluid in the lines? I suspect the answer is yes.

Your set up should be only one filter and the filter should be a Nelson 83213D and that filter will X to a NAPA 1487, also no need to drain the tank just fish the filter out with a coat hanger, every 2 or 3 yrs should be good.

Hi, William W I contacted Ryder Fleet and they did have the filters in stock, I ordered them and received them Today, thanks for the tip. They did not have the Gasket/O ring but they ordered a couple for me.
My Maintenance to do list is getting larger each day.
