<p class="MsoNormal">In this case I often like to go to http://wixfilters.com/ and look at the filter specs. I don’t know about the VAC and it’s filter specifics so can’t comment on it specifically.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Several years ago I acquired an old 93 Mercury Sable that the kids drove to high school. I later bought and fixed up a few Toyota Camry’s (3 to date) and wife has a Avalon. I did some looking and the specs on the Mercury filter were the
same as the Toyota. The only difference was the can size was shorter on the Toyota. Otherwise micron rating, oil pressure bypass, gasket, etc. were all the same. I did a little more checking and the filter on my 20HP Kohler on my Exmark mower can use that
same filter. So now I order Wix (because I think they’re a quality filter) filters in bulk from Rock Auto. Saves me from having 4 different ones on the shelf now.

<p class="MsoNormal">I see a minor "farmer design change" in that VAC's near future... :-)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I did an oil and filter change on it yesterday and about did a Fred Sanford over the price of the filter at NAPA ($25 and change plus tax). I can buy a filter for my old F-150 for about $4... The VAC uses the same filter as my Allis C (Fram
# C-159 but I don't usually buy Fram filters) and I was out of them. The ones I was using I bought years ago. I came home and started looking on-line but didn't find anything a lot cheaper. I first looked at the local Rural King farm store but they didn't
even have a spot on the shelf for them. Seems odd considering how many Allis tractors used them.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I did an oil and filter change on my Ferguson TO-20 last week and that filter was about $8. I did have to make a gasket for that cover plate you take off to change the internal filter. Rural King did have that filter.<o:p></o:p></p>
