Just found the above on E bay states FAIREY ARLON HYDRAULIC FILTER HOUSING 274A-3T50-EL210 NSN 4330991688376 it looks like the two on foden but no indication of size

[N.O.S.]

This gives you the filter element number which fits that housing:

Check out Hydraulic Equipment Supermarkets on the web (and phone them) for other filter elements available for that housing.

 

P.S. Return filters are great things - but if you have a pump driven off a transfer box PTO, then NEVER EVER engage reverse gear with the PTO still engaged, as the contents get sucked back around the system..........

I checked my Scammell EKA tonight & the filters fitted have the following PN/number on them..

 

BT8914 7 63 01

 

they are plain white spin on filters much the same as engine oil filters. They are definitely in the return line to the tank so are completely different to the HP filter housing pictured in the post above.

 

It'll be interesting if EKA did the Foden differently to the Scammell.

 

Anyhow, I hope the info helps someone!

Just realised that it's been getting on for three years since the last post in this very interesting thread.

 

Cosrec, do you stil have and operate the Foden? It'd be really interesting to hear an update to the story.

Hi Everybody

First post ,but ive secretly skimming information for about a year or so

This all started when my mate who runs a 87 Foden EKA 6500 on recovery work

asked to remote control the crane and winches

Ihave never seen so many orange wires in the one place in my life, but i waded in bravely

thanks to you guys and after much guessing , cursing and mugs of tea it was finally finished last weekend

What a transformation ,to be able set up all at 100mts

Ijust want say thanks guys for you information it left the puzzle so easy

Iwill post some pics later and if anybody has any info on hydraulic pressures and test points etc i wold appreciate

Regards

Tom
