This hydraulic filter element is an original AGCO part designed for the hydraulic system of tractors and other agricultural vehicles. It sits in the filter housing on the return side of the hydraulic loop, capturing particulate contaminants before fluid reaches the pump and downstream valves. A clogged element forces the bypass valve open, allowing unfiltered fluid to circulate and accelerate wear on seals and actuators. The original part maintains the correct bypass cracking pressure and seal geometry, ensuring the filter housing closes without leaks and the bypass valve opens only when the element is fully loaded. Replace the housing seal on reinstall and torque the cap to specification.
