Cub cadet 125 hydro oil filter problem
 

So the hydro oil filter that came off my 125 is a part number 923-3014, the WIX cross reference is supposed to be a 51410 but it won’t thread onto the filter base. I took the threaded part out just to see if was doing something wrong, but I can’t get it to screw into the WIX filter. Any suggestions?

Like Hy-Tran, it's best to stick with the correct OEM filter. I don't trust the cross-references, especially with hydraulic filters. It's under $20 for the right filter from Cub Cadet, and then you know it will work.

As far as hydraulic filters go, it's usually best to get oem because there are too many varieties. Same applies to some car engines, but not most.
OEM filters don't cost much more and are sometimes cheaper. This is speaking generally, as I do work on some larger equipment.

OEM hydro filter ordered.

BS, Wix filters are probably better than OEM. Yes, I have had a Wix or 2 not want to start but eventually they did........but then again I don't use Hytran either.:biggrin2:

Heard that others have had difficulties threading the WIX. Don't know what that's all about.

The OEM Cub filter is obviously manufactured by a well known filter company for Cub Cadet. Wonder which one it is?

I've never had a problem w/ Napa 1410 or Wix 51410 (same filter). I actually just put a NAPA 1410 on the 782 and 984 w/in the last week. 984 had a Kmart filter, 782 had a CCC filter. The Wix made X1410 is the correct filter for these, and as good of quality as OEM.

I usually buy CCC ones but they're up to like $18. :BangPC:

I use Wix (either in that brand from F&F or NAPA gold) on pretty much everything -- 2x trucks, all sorts of (big) tractors, Cub Cadets...never had one not thread on :bigthink:

Me either.

I just recently used that Wix filter on a customer's 1650 and the filter installed and preforms perfectly.
