I recently replaced my small hydraulic filter. the old one (NAPA 1259) was 10 micron rated and and allowed 12 to 16 gallons per minute. On NAPA's web site there is no mention of a bypass valve for this filter. And the cross referenced filter to FRAM (P1654A) specifies that there is not a bypass...

Quick update. I have the first one completed. I had to install a sleeve to it. I took a bunch of photographs and would upload them if that the site allows. I now have the other three axles pulled; i have a bunch of 5/16 threaded four inch bolts so I did not have to fabricate all thread. I...

Pulled the axle from the L445. Best I can tell the seal surface is wore, and pitted. The axle seal surface measures 2.996. Plan to purchase an aftermarket shaft repair seal kit. Would your experience suggest that I purchase this a bit over or undersized? For example, timken part number 99299...

I purchased OEM inner and outer seal for one axle and plan to purchase the other three aftermarket. Wanted to provide some details for others if they desire to save a few bucks and purchase aftermarket. I received the outer seal today, part number 570473. It measures 3.75 OD, 3.00 ID, and .25...

getting ready to perform this on my L445. you said: 5/16 all thread and cut 3 pieces to about 5" in length and 1 piece about 3" in length. Why is one of the four pieces 3" long? How tight should the all thread be to the gear? I do not have to loosen the chain? Thank you very much for your details.

Would the above instructions for axle seal replacement also cover the model L445 new holland? It was manufactured in 1982-1983, 30 HP gas, air cooled? I have a service manual on order and maybe it will provide a bit more details. I was not fully able to determine if the same instructions apply...
