Performanc-Boosting Filter For IH Tractors TRACTORS Accessories 19-4-24 "It solves a lot of problems with hydraulics on IH tractors," says Gary Nielsen of Allied Precision, manufacturer of a new hydraulic fluid filter extension kit for IH tractors that increases the volume of fluid flowing through the hydraulic system.
"Farmers come to us with a variety of problems and we try to solve them. If we find an improvement that works, we bring it on the market," says Nielsen, who makes a variety of add-on and remanufactured parts for-tractors.
His new hydraulic filter kit consists simply of a larger filter housing that makes it possible to use two regular size filters instead of just one. The modification eliminates the filter as a bottleneck, opening up the flow of fluid.
"I gave one to a nearby farmer who had complained about a lack of lift on his front-end loader. He installed our kit and came back a few days later and bought four more units. He said it made the loader work like new and that installing our kit was a lot cheaper than installing a larger hydraulic pump," says Nielsen.
The filter extensions fit tractors as far back as IH 560's made in the late '50's and early '60's.- "We discovered that IH made a larger filter in those days for the industrial versions of these tractors but they apparently didn't think it was needed on farm tractors," he notes.
Sells for $39 for utility tractors up to $65 for late model tractors (706 and above)
