The MEL-1192 filter wrench is just a metal band type that you can use a breaker bar with.
If you can get in there I haved used a chisle and taped it with a hammer on the top rim to knock it loose if real tight or if you want to make a mess drive a big screw driver all the way threw and twist
Thank you both for thin info. Our small town carquest is closed now and will not open till Monday. I've been out looking things over and lifted the Cab and removed the battery, the battery box was bolted in so now that is out too. Now I have more access to the filter. I've got it all bent up right now from of the techniques I've tried so far. I'm getting ready to try a version of the chisel technique, I'm going to put my strap wrench on the side and then get son to put a 2x4 end on the strap and whack the other end to see if we can get this thing off, You can bet I will use the hand tight only when I get the new on. Again thanks for all the help. Dwight Iowa
Doing my part for you drinking a beer lol
I know how it is living near a small town. It used to be almost all the stores here closed at noon on Saturday and didn't reopen till Monday morning but it's getting better as some stores have learned people will drive the 30-50 extra miles to get what they need on a weekend these days.
OldMachinist, Nope the filter is still in place, that bugger is on there really good. I've got it so mangled up there is no way I would start it. Son came and help with my strap wrench on with all the torque I could twist in it, He held the 2 X 4 on the side and gave it several whacks with the framing hammer nad it just slid the strap around the filter. While he was here we started putting some ATF and Acetone around the seal edge to try to penetrate to the seal. I'm assuming it is a center thread like a regular spin-on oil filter for a car. My neighbor is getting a different strap wrench from the place he works tomorrow, I'm about ready to go with the chisel option. Also may get the tractor out and use the front end loader to lift off the roll cage so I can get up on it. All in all a very good learning experience. Dwight Iowa
With the chisle you put it at a 90 degree on the rim and tap it off not driving in between works great becareful not to ding up the houseing
Antfarmer, Thanks for the help, I've got one more filter wrench to try before I go to the destructive mode. I'm going to have to find a long handled chisel if need be, I can reach in from the top and get a hold of the filter, but going to be hard to hit due to all the hard lines around it. If I can get a good picture, I'll put it up this evening.. Dwight Iowa
Will not tear it up just a little tricky to get the right angle to spin it off
It looks just like an oversized oil filter, 5 inches across. Here's what the mounting side looks like.
Flyerdan, That is a very good picture, Gives me more of an idea if I need to get the chisel after it. My neighbor is coming up this evening with a different band clamp. He works for a company that has larger equipment. Again thanks for all the help. Dwight Iowa
To all that have given me help. The filter is off, My neighbor came with a strap wench that looks just like the one that was shown in this thread. I'll try to post a couple of pictures to the media part under M700. Dwight Iowa
I can't seem to get the pics to upload. I read the FAqs but not working for me. When I get this figured out, I send a couple of pics. Dwight Iowa
I can't get the pic to past in here, but the link does. It is the mount with the filter off, going to get new filters today Dwight Iowa http://www.skidsteerforum.com/Portals/57ad7180-c5e7-49f5-b282-c6475cdb7ee7/TTTGallery/Dwights%20M700/M700_25_Micron_Filter_mount.jpg
Now it works for me too, Oldmachinist thanks a bunch.
