Description

When your excavator’s hydraulics start feeling sluggish or you notice jerky movement in the bucket or boom, dirty hydraulic fluid is usually the culprit. Contaminated fluid can damage those expensive pumps, valves, and cylinders that make your excavator work. This Baldwin filter keeps your hydraulic system clean so you can dig, lift, and move material with the smooth, powerful performance you need on the job.

What You’re Getting

Integral post seal design prevents bypassing and ensures all fluid gets filtered properly
3 7/8 inch length and 3 11/16 inch outer diameter provide adequate filtration capacity for demanding hydraulic work
M18 x 1.5 metric thread fits standard hydraulic filter bases without adapters or modifications
G324-A gasket included for reliable sealing that won’t leak under pressure
Quality Baldwin construction that handles the heat and pressure spikes of heavy excavator work

Built for Real Excavator Work

This filter fits Caterpillar excavators along with Kobelco and MDI-Yutani machines powered by Mitsubishi engines. Whether you’re digging basements, loading trucks, or clearing ditches, these excavators put in long hours under tough conditions. Clean hydraulic fluid keeps the machine responsive and protects those costly hydraulic components from premature wear.

Made to Last

Baldwin filters are engineered to handle the pressure spikes, temperature swings, and contaminant loads that come with real-world hydraulic work. The filtration media captures particles and debris before they can damage sensitive hydraulic components, while the sturdy housing stands up to the constant vibration and stress of excavator operation.

Installation Notes

This is a direct spin-on replacement that threads right onto your existing filter base. Apply a thin coat of clean hydraulic fluid to the gasket before installation, then hand-tighten about 3/4 turn after the gasket contacts the mounting surface. Change this filter per your operator’s manual schedule, typically every 250-500 hours depending on operating conditions.
