If you've ever watched your Major tractor's hydraulic lift struggle to raise a three-point implement or noticed the power steering acting sluggish during headland turns, there's a good chance your hydraulic filter is doing more bypassing than filtering. These classic tractors from the 1950s rely on clean oil to keep their hydraulic systems working smoothly, and a clogged filter is often the culprit when things start acting up. What You're Getting 132mm long by 72mm wide filter designed specifically for Major series tractors High-quality filtration media that traps dirt and metal particles before they damage pumps and valves Proper flow capacity to maintain hydraulic pressure for three-point hitch and steering Direct replacement for the original long-version filter used from 1956 to December 1958 Built for Real Farm Work This filter fits the Ford New Holland Major, Super Major, and Power Major tractors, plus the 1000 series models including the 5000, 5100, 7000, and 7100. These were the workhorses of British and American agriculture, handling everything from cultivation and hay work to loader operations around the farmyard. Whether you're restoring a vintage tractor or keeping a reliable old workhorse running, clean hydraulic oil is essential for smooth three-point operation and responsive steering. Made to Last Vintage tractors need modern filtration quality, and this filter delivers reliable performance for these classic hydraulic systems. The filter media is designed to handle the lower pressures typical of 1950s hydraulic systems while providing the contamination control these machines need to keep working season after season. Good to Know This is the long version at 132mm - if you need the shorter 82mm version, that's part number 41812. Installation is straightforward, but remember to relieve hydraulic pressure and let the system cool before starting work. Clean hydraulic fluid makes a huge difference in how these old tractors operate, so consider changing the oil when you replace the filter if it's been a while.
