Now it works for me too, Oldmachinist thanks a bunch. Here is a pic of the mangled filter too. It worked. 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

An M700 in 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

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

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

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...

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...

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...

Thank you Sir for that part. Mine is missing the cover so the hole is open all the time. I bought one of the nylon strap wrenches and that has not helped yet. I wonder what the "special filter wrench looks like. I tried the 10 micron filter and it really was only hand tight, I've got it loose...

Guys, How do you get this filter out with out sliding the engine back? I see it just fine through the hole in he bottom, but can not for the life of me get it to unscrew. I did a search and best I can tell no one says how to get a good hold on it to get it out. Dwight Iowa

Flyerdan, Thanks for you help. I'm going to call the little parts store tomorrow in the little town I live close to and see what they can do for me, They still use books for the older stuff. I have an old David Brown 885 tractor and they have been good help with that too. Dwight Eastern Iowa

Antfarmer, Thanks for the help. I've been looking all over the thing and can not pick up on any stamped numbers any where else. I'll see if I can find some help at a hydo shop next week. Dwight, Eastern Iowa
