When you're running a mixed fleet of compact and utility tractors, keeping track of different oil filters for each machine can get complicated fast. This universal 138mm (5.5 inch) oil filter solves that problem by fitting a wide range of 4-cylinder tractor engines across multiple brands. One filter that works on several different machines means less time searching through parts books and more time getting work done. What You're Getting 138mm length provides extra filtration capacity compared to shorter filters Premium filtration media traps dirt, metal particles, and combustion byproducts before they can damage your engine Anti-drainback valve keeps oil in the filter when you shut down, protecting against dry starts Bypass valve ensures oil keeps flowing even if the filter gets restricted Universal compatibility simplifies inventory and reduces parts complexity Built for Real Farm Work This filter handles the 4-cylinder engines found in compact and utility tractors—the workhorses that handle hay production, livestock chores, food plot maintenance, and all the daily tasks around smaller operations. These engines are built for reliability and fuel efficiency, making them popular choices for operations that need dependable power without the complexity of larger machines. Made to Last Your 4-cylinder engine works hard in dusty conditions, handles varying loads, and puts in long hours during busy seasons. This filter's quality construction stands up to high oil pressure and temperature swings while the longer 5.5-inch design provides more surface area for capturing contaminants. Better filtration means cleaner oil circulating through your engine, which translates to longer engine life and fewer costly repairs. Good to Know Change this filter with every oil change—typically every 100-200 hours depending on your operating conditions. Always coat the rubber gasket with a thin layer of clean oil before installation, then hand-tighten only three-quarters of a turn after the gasket contacts the mounting surface. Keep a few of these universal filters in stock since they fit multiple machines in your fleet.
When you're counting on your vintage Massey or Fordson to get the work done day after day, clean oil is what keeps that engine running smooth. This 114mm paper element filter catches all the metal particles and dirt that can turn a reliable tractor into a rebuild project. Whether you're using that MF 35 for hay work or firing up the Fordson Major for heavy tillage, fresh oil and a good filter mean you'll keep working when others are sitting in the shop. What You're Getting Mann quality construction that filters down to microscopic particles 114mm length and 71mm diameter for factory-perfect fit Paper element design provides excellent flow without restriction Direct replacement - drops right into your original filter housing Built to handle the operating conditions these classic tractors face Built for Classic Workhorses This filter fits the Massey Ferguson 35 and 135 models, plus the Fordson Major and Dexta series - tractors that are still earning their keep on farms everywhere. These machines were built when engines were simpler but still needed clean oil to survive. From loader work around the barn to pulling implements through tough ground, these tractors do it all. Made to Last Mann has been making filters for decades, and they understand what these vintage engines need. The paper element captures contaminants without choking off oil flow - critical for engines that might already have some wear. Quality construction means this filter won't collapse or fall apart when your engine oil gets hot during hard work. Good to Know Always change your filter with every oil change - trying to stretch a filter through two changes is false economy that'll cost you later. Wipe a bit of clean oil on the gasket before installing, and hand-tighten until the gasket contacts the housing, then another 3/4 turn. These old tractors typically need oil changes every 100-150 hours depending on how dusty your conditions are.
