Minneapolis moline oil filter

Yes I just bought one from Welters also.
A little advice on the filter.
If you are replacing the original felt disc stack or an element, make sure you clean the inner steel tube. And check the rest of the valve body below the stack.
Mine was very cruddy with a lot of sludge in the area below the stack. There are 3 springs, a steel ball, and other moving parts that may need cleaning. In my case the ball needed to be replaced and all the parts needed cleaning and attention to get them all moving properly.
I just went through mine completely, off the tractor.
 
Good info about cleaning/checking the filter base, springs and check balls.
Much needed advice that I fear goes unnoticed or possibly ignored. :)
I even touched-up a ball seat to be certain pressures inside the filter were what they re supposed to be.
Our Purolator oil filters bases are very busy with activity and flowing oil from 1929 thru the 60 s. Later?
Perfect places to collect sludge or rust off springs if water present.
Down from my wordy soap-box, what filter for the UB?
The 1950 UTS here uses the same as a 1929 (KE5905) so I m curious.

Kt/Kta/U/Ub/ GB/GTB gas/lp and all use Ke5905. UB U G diesels have filter in oil pan.10A132 UB U Specials gas/lp or diesel all
use same filter different than all.
 
Prairie Gold GB. Thanks as always!
Add the 21-32/FT/FT-A's to GB's KE5905 list. Same same.
Anyone know where Welters' get their filters? Henry Leasing?
If thru Henry directly, about 35 bucks with shipping.
IF you run across a felt stack and change it out, save the threaded disk on top to hold your filter cartridge down if you have the short nut to hold the cover/shell on.
