When I google Mills Farm and Fleet, I get Mills Fleet Farm.
I have always known it as Mills Fleet Farm.
Fram C-159 is listed for $8.95.
 
Not a bad price in you like Fram filters. Personally after the problems I encountered with Fram filters you can't give me one. The freight line I worked for tried Fram oil filters and lost three DT 466s due to Fram oil filters.
 
This is not a conventional Fram filter , it does not have any filter paper, it is packed with yarn, so the usual comments about Fram filters do not apply.
 
Although I agree that Fram filters are junk in general Fram either does not make the C-159 or they make them for a host of others because other than paint and decal they are absolutely identical to Fleetguard, AGCO and Baldwin and the CURRENTLY available Wix and NAPA. They are the best filter currently available for the tractors that use them. They correctly constructed for the by-pass system.
 
Until I can actually see a Fram cut open side by side with a NAPA Gold will I believe it. NAPA Gold filters are built to higher specs than manufactures original specs. Hasting is another good filter. Hastings and Baldwin are same company. I use nothing but Hastings or NAPA Gold on my WD 45 that I pull and take to shows.

I had always used NAPA/wix until they had the fiasco with the bad redesign about 10 years ago that caused no oil pressure.. When they finally quit making the bad ones and the new "fixed" one came out it was same as theC159, fleetguard, AGCO etc. Last I knew there was only one available from NAPA, the gold one. As I said I dont know who is actually making them butit's all the same filter with different paint & decals.
