[QUOTE="bobbie-g, post: 6793, member: 26"] Stephend, (or Steve?), Knowing that Bobcat wants top dollar for everything else, I shopped around for filters. I found Bobcat was no more expensive than the Checker, Napa, CarQuest aftermarket suppliers, but it was pretty clear to me looking at both types of filters that the Bobcat quality was far superior. A couple of examples from two years ago: fuel filter 6667352 $12.36, CarQuest CFI 86192 $20. Engine oil: 6661011 $7.53, Carquest CFI 85083 $7. Hydraulic oil 6661248 $30.56, CarQuest CFI 85455 $40, Napa 1455 $37. So I just get a handful when I'm in the Bobcat store for something else. I've also seen some good deals on ebay, but you have to watch regularly to snag them. --- As for the smaller in-line hydraulic fluid filters, mine (there are two) are in aluminum cases about 1.5" dia and 3" long.
