I have an issue with the fuel filter on my tractor. I picked up a new Hastings filter for it and it would not slide up onto the stub of the filter base, and if I force it the filter will crush when canister is tightened down. I took filter back and said it doesn't fit. I also had the old one which did fit. All the filter books say the hole in the top of filter should be .500". The old filter had a plastic top holding the filter together and apparently opened up a bit to fit on the stub. The new filter has a steel top on it, and my filter stub measures .545".
I went to local Kubota dealer and picked up a genuine Kubota filter #15231-43560. It also measures .500" with metal top.
I carefully washed my old filter and reinstalled it to keep going. I don't dare take the die grinder to the top of the metal ring so it will fit. Too likely to get a filing into the injection pump.
Have you run into this problem, and how did you solve it?????
