I know from reading the archives that this topic has been beaten to death over the years, but I thought I'd take a few more whacks at it anyway, and share my recent experience.
What's the current wisdom on aftermarket filters for the TO-20? I understand that the WIX 51107/NAPA 1107/Fram C153 are the correct filter, but my recent search indicates that none of these numbers is available any longer.
My local independent auto parts store sold me a WIX 51010, but their WIX book also said that the TO-20 and TO-30 took this same filter, which should not be the case. (The WIX website also said the same thing.)
My local guys said the WIX 51107 was no longer listed.
I checked with a local O'Reilly's, and their computer said the WIX 51107 was available on special order. They said they'd call me with a price...but I haven't heard from them.
I even checked with an out-of-town NAPA store, and they said that their 1107 (same as the WIX 51107) filter wasn't available.
Even the Sparex catalog, which I understand to be the Bible of Ferguson aftermarket parts, lists the same filter for the TO-20 and TO-30?!?
So...
Is an AGCO/Massey dealer the only safe place to get the correct filter for a TO-20?
Are WIX and Sparex just flat wrong?
Was there not enough demand for the 51107 filter, and they just dropped it?
Or, have they changed something so that the Wix 51010 filter will work for both the TO-20 and TO-30? (They're different sized, and the flow is different, so that wouldn't make sense.)
Thanks for any advice. I'm eager to hear the (hopefully) last word on this subject.

Today's Featured Article - Trailering Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the fun things of summer and fall are the parades and tractor shows that go on across America. Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that ‘quick look over’ before taking it on a trip. Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
