When you're running any tractor with a Perkins engine, this oil filter might just be the most important $20 investment you'll make all season. That Perkins diesel under the hood is built to last decades, but it needs clean oil flowing through those precision-machined parts to keep delivering reliable power for planting, harvest, and everything in between. Skip this simple maintenance step, and you could be looking at thousands in engine repairs instead of a quick filter change. What You're Getting 130mm length provides excellent filtration capacity without taking up extra space Full-flow design ensures all your oil gets filtered every time it circulates High-efficiency filter media traps harmful particles while maintaining proper oil pressure Anti-drain back valve prevents dry starts that can damage bearings Quality construction handles the temperature swings and pressure spikes of farm work Built for Real Farm Work This filter fits a huge range of tractors powered by Perkins engines - from compact utility tractors perfect for livestock operations to larger row-crop machines handling serious acreage. Whether you're running a Massey Ferguson doing loader work, a Landini pulling implements, or any other brand with Perkins power, chances are good this is your filter. These engines show up everywhere because farmers trust their reliability and fuel efficiency. Made to Last Perkins engines are legendary for their durability, but they depend on clean oil to protect critical components from wear. This filter uses advanced media that captures microscopic contaminants while maintaining steady oil flow even as it loads up with particles. The robust housing design handles the daily beating that farm equipment dishes out, keeping your engine protected through long days and demanding conditions. Installation Notes Change this filter every time you change oil - don't try to save a few dollars by reusing an old filter. Apply a thin coat of clean oil to the gasket before installation, then hand-tighten only 3/4 turn after the gasket makes contact. Over-tightening just makes your next change harder and can damage the seal. Consider changing oil more frequently if you're working in dusty conditions or during heavy-use seasons.
When your oil pressure light flickers or you notice metal shavings in your oil, you know it's time for a fresh filter.

What You're Getting Short design that fits where space is tight—perfect for those cramped 3 and 4 cylinder engines Quality filtration media that traps debris and contaminants before they can damage your engine Universal fit across multiple tractor brands—one filter for your mixed fleet Built tough to handle field vibration and temperature swings without cracking or leaking Lighter weight means easier handling and lower shipping costs when you order bulk Built for Real Farm Work This filter works on everything from Ford 4600s running hay equipment to Massey Ferguson utility tractors handling loader work. Whether you're cultivating, mowing, or doing chores around the farm, these 3 and 4 cylinder engines are workhorses that need clean oil to keep running strong season after season. Made to Last Farm equipment takes a beating, and your oil filter needs to keep up. The robust construction handles the constant vibration and temperature changes that come with field work. Quality filtration media captures the fine particles that cause engine wear, especially important when you're working in dusty conditions. Good to Know Make sure you've got the non-turbo version of your engine before ordering—turbocharged engines need different filtration specs. If you need the longer version for more clearance, check out part 4230G instead. Always replace the filter with fresh oil and double-check your torque spec to avoid leaks or over-tightening.
When you check the oil in your tractor and notice it's turned black before schedule, or your engine sounds a little different during startup, chances are your oil filter is working overtime. Clean oil is the lifeblood of any Perkins diesel engine, and this spin-on filter makes sure that black stuff stays trapped where it belongs instead of circulating through your engine's critical parts. Key Features Designed specifically for Perkins 212, 248, 4000, and 5000 series diesel engines Full-flow spin-on design captures contaminants while maintaining proper oil pressure Advanced filter media provides excellent dirt-holding capacity during extended service intervals Anti-drain back valve prevents dry starts by keeping oil in the filter when engine's off Heavy-duty construction handles the pressure and temperature swings of hard-working farm engines Built for Real Farm Work This filter serves a huge range of agricultural equipment powered by Perkins engines. From compact utility tractors running loaders to big row-crop machines pulling heavy implements, these engines are found in Massey Ferguson, Ford New Holland, Case, Landini, Lamborghini, McCormick, and even some Kubota tractors. Whether you're cultivating, harvesting, or handling livestock, these are the workhorses that keep farms running. Made to Last Perkins engines are legendary for their durability, but they need clean oil to reach those high hour marks. This genuine-specification filter uses proven filtration technology that captures harmful particles while maintaining the oil flow your engine needs. The robust construction handles the vibration and temperature extremes that come with long days in the field. Good to Know Always pre-fill the new filter with clean engine oil before installation to prevent dry starts. Hand-tighten until the gasket contacts the mounting surface, then turn another 3/4 turn - no more. Over-tightening makes the next change harder and can damage the gasket. While you've got the old filter off, cut it open to check what's been trapped inside - it tells you a lot about your engine's condition.
