Hello all. I ordered a new filter for my 460 LP's hydraulic system from my CaseIH dealer, pretty expensive, but getting it right where it counts seems like the way to go, right? I'm not so sure. I pulled the cover off the filter housing, and it turns out there were no "filters" in it at all, at least not the little round ones that come two in a set. It did have a sort of filter that was sort of oblong shaped, with a NAPA number on it, but the little round filters from CaseIH would not fit inside it. There was no way they would fit inside it. And the instructions on the new ones said that there were two screws that held the filters in place as you were reinserting the whole assembly back into the housing...there were no screws in mine and more importantly, no evidence, ie, bolt holes, for two screws to screw into. I am beginning to wonder if the previous owner "substituted" an incorrect "outer" filter, the one with a NAPA number on it, and that that might explain why the new little "tandem" filters will not fit inside the outer one. Any thoughts? Thanks, Hugh
