Regardless of the size of the hose your effective suction line siize is the SMALLEST of the components in that plumbing run. And from the looks of the picture that is 1" or smaller pipe. A 1" or 1-14" NPT filter head and 100 mesh stainless steel strainer should work fine. TOH This post was edited by TheOldHokie at 12:50:14 07/30/12. [Reply]  [No Email]

Unlikely you will find a replacement element for your existing strainer but complete strainers are avaialble staring at around $50. Your line is reduced considerably after the strainer or so I'm not sure what the flow rate is. A 1" or 1-1/4" NPT spin-on head and filter should be more than adequate and runs about $50 as well.

If you can't use an in tank straiiner one possible solution is to mount an external spin on type filter head on the outside and use a cartridge type wire strainer. TOH [Reply]  [No Email]

Not sure how I would use a spin-on style, since that suction line is about 2" O.D. could I step it down without creating a problem? I don't know much about hydraulics, but I would say that strainer is not helping my performance . . . what say you? [Reply]  [No Email]

Don't operate the system without a strainer/filter or you will have many control valve and pump problems as the sump trash travels through the system. [Reply]  [No Email]

Maybe you can find a replacement later but can still work the tractor till then. [Reply]  [No Email]
