What oil filter for UB Special?

The filter I took out was Wix 551114 = NAPA 1114 which is discontinued, not available anymore. This filter is larger in diameter (4 1/2") and longer than the #1111, but with very short end tubes. This #1114 filter is definitely a bigger filter than the #1111.

I do not think the previous owner ever changed the oil filter as he thought this engine had no oil filter. He had owned this tractor since 1978! His owner/operator manual showed the external filter of the older U series, and he had bought the hardward to put it on the engine, but it would interfer with the location of the steering shaft, so it never got installed.

What are you UB Special owners using for your oil filter?

Thanks.....

I went into the AGCO dealer yesterday afternoon and had them show me the KE 5905. It does not fit! Their computer told them to sub that filter for the 10A6865. The end holes are different diameter, and both the length and OD are different. I could probably make it work by cutting off the long nipples on both ends and then shimming up the too large center holes, and end up with about 1/2 of the filtering media that the correct filter has. In my book, that is a lousey solution. So the KE 5905 is still on their shelf.

Thanks for your reply.
