My 41H is s/n "84898." This puts it before the date when IH supposedly changed the filter size from "tall" to short. However, pulling the filter on my H reveals a cartridge filter that is about 5 3/8 overall length. This makes it strongly resemble the WIX 51172 ("short") instead of the WIX 51125 ("tall").
Could the early H's be reto-fitted to take the shorter filter? Or do I possibly have a non-original engine (it has "K" casting codes, however--indicating a 41)?
The filter I took out says "made in India" "P35032" and "H03Y16B1" if I am reading the numbers correctly. The internet shows no matches I can find.
My plan is to install a WIX 51172, but want to know I'm doing the right thing. Thanks in advance for any insight.
