This canister-type hydraulic oil filter removes particulate contamination from the hydraulic circuit before the fluid returns to the reservoir and the pump inlet. It mounts in a dedicated housing on the return side of the system. A clogged filter element forces the bypass valve open, allowing unfiltered oil to circulate, which accelerates wear on control valves and the pump. As an AGCO-original component, the filter canister matches the housing's internal seal geometry and bypass-valve cracking pressure, so the filtration system operates at its intended efficiency. On reinstallation, confirm the housing sealing surface is clean and torque the canister to the specified value.
