Wrech for transmission and hydraulic filter.

[emmett518]

John Deere 310 l backhoe.

What wrench do I use to remove the transmission filter and the hydraulic filter?

It seems that you have to get the transmission filter from underneath, as there is no room around it for a normal wrench.

The hydraulic filter is just plain huge. I've never seen an oil filter wrench at the auto parts store that big.

Thanks

I have used this type of filter wrench for years and I love it. It will fit anywhere you need it to.

Look at KD 2321 & 2322 filter wrenches. One fits 5.25-5.75 inches, and the other 4.625 to 5.25 inches. Hope this helps

I woulda thought a 310 had a cartridge. The same one they use forever on JD. I had one in the yard yesterday but its gone and I worked on it and never noticed it was different????

They all look like giant oil filters.

OTC makes three sizes of band wrenches that you use with a 1/2 drive ratchet or breaker bar. Costs like $30-40 to get all three of them. They are my favorite oil filter wrenches.

Home Depot sells a strap wrench (Husky) that has worked well for me the band is made of stout rubber that grabs really well.

It’s hard to get by with just one strap wrench. Need about a dozen of them to fit every scenario. But, if stranded on a desert island and could only have one, it would be the Caterpillar 185-3630. Preferably, the older domestic made ones. My new one says China on it. It’s not built as well as the originals.

View attachment 237252 I have used this type of filter wrench for years and I love it. It will fit anywhere you need it to.

This one just arrived from Amazon, and it worked perfectly. Transmission filter is off, and next is hydro.

Excellent suggestion. The wrench that arrived seemed very heavy duty.

The CAT dealer sells the wrench Coaldust mentioned... About $12 works well on my 310C and other Deere machines. Doesn't crush the can as some other strap wrenches do.

the webbing on my 30yr old cat strap wrench is heavier than the one on my brother-in-law's new cat strap wrench

Now why is that not a surprise.? My Cat strap wrench came out of a D8K tool kit back in the 70s and it still works just as good today as it did back then.

You know, you really need a D11 carry dozer. Time to upgrade! More power!

We have to keep the economy rolling.

Was there a Cat grease gun in there with it ?
I can't remember when cat quit providing grease guns with new machines.

According to the attachment there would have been. I'm not sure what happened to it, I've slept a few times since then. Oh for the days when operators were not only competent to service their own tractors but actually did .........

Your right just need a 3/4 whatever you prefer

Napa also sells a full line of bigger steel band 1/2 drive filter wrenches, I've got one that will fit air dryer cartridges.
