Wanky places to put a fecking filter

Well done CNH, not only is it impossible to get at with strap wrench's etc due to no space to turn it.
But the massive filter guard next to it needs 3 bloody bolts to hold it on and there's no fecking room to get to them either.
Bloody stupid bit of fuel tank is right in the way.

Looks good an Assembly line?

Puma 160cvx back end filters

Mainshaft oil filter on Lamborghini 1600 premium involves dropping the RH fuel tank.............

A Donaldson after market filter can be undone with a 1/2” ratchet & extension, much better idea in difficult spots.

Well it was made worse by the fact the white filter required a two foot bar on my ratchet to encourage it to turn.
Then the rear filter in the alloy housing was so tight it removed the threaded bit from the tractor before giving up , trying to remove that resulted in the hex head shearing off the bottom.
Eventually got them apart and made a tool to refit said thread back into tractor.
Damn near all day to change 3 poxy filters.
Now drowning my sorrows with Cider.

How does that work?
Hammer the extension in?

you've not mentioned having oil all down your arms either i find it a LOT easier to take the back wheel off when doing the backend filters on our pumas, made even easier with the wheel trolly and impact gun

No, the recess is deep enough just to slot a 1/2" socket head in. In this case all I needed to do was put a 1/2" ratchet head in and turn! Such a simple idea, I don't know why more filters don't have it on.

Mmmm. The oil was the least of my worries today.

The Maxxum we have needs the rocker cover and steering valve etc taking off to change some filter or other.

Why in the name of 'clucking bell' now we are well into the 21st century ( Considering the farm tractor has been on this earth for the past 100 years or so) can they not make tractors with easily accessable filters? It's beyond stupid isn't it?

 

[Half Pipe]

It's hard getting new filter in past those pipes and keep open end clean!!

 

[Still Farming]

Consumable items should be easily accessible

The crankcase filter on a Househam Air Ride is a bit of a pain.

I hate filters that are mounted on their side or upside down, so the entire contents have leaked everywhere before you get it off.

Could it be, so you either say feck it, and don’t change the filters and await the inevitable, or give it to the dealer who charges £xx an hour and is quite happy to take all day to change 3 filters?
