When you've got a classic Fordson Dexta or Massey Ferguson from the '50s and '60s still working for you, keeping that engine properly protected is worth every penny. These old British tractors are tough as nails, but clean oil is what keeps their hearts beating season after season. If you've noticed oil spots under your tractor or that familiar black sludge when you drain the oil, it's time to get serious about filtration. What You're Getting Paper element that captures contaminants down to levels your vintage engine needs Exact 114mm length and 71mm diameter matches original specs perfectly Anti-drain back valve keeps oil in the system when you shut down Includes the gasket you'll need for a proper seal during installation Steel canister construction that handles the oil pressure cycles these engines see Built for Classic British Workhorses This filter fits the iconic Fordson Dexta, Super Dexta, and Major series along with Massey Ferguson 35 and 65 models. These were the tractors that powered British agriculture through its golden years, and today they're still working on small farms, estates, and in the hands of collectors who appreciate their simple, reliable design. Whether you're using yours for hay work, maintaining pastures, or keeping it running for vintage shows, proper filtration is essential. Made to Last Through Real Use The paper filtration medium provides excellent dirt removal while maintaining proper flow rates for these vintage engine designs. The bypass system ensures oil keeps circulating even if the filter gets restricted, protecting against oil starvation. Quality construction means this filter will go the distance through your 200-hour service intervals. Installation Notes Hand-tighten the filter three-quarters of a turn after the gasket contacts the mounting surface - no more, or you'll damage the seal. Always replace the gasket during installation, and apply a thin coat of clean oil to it first. Your oil capacity is typically around 6.8 liters for the sump, plus another half-liter when you change the filter.
