No separate return filter
The filter goes in this reservoir

Mann don't list any specific for a 50B, but I had a look at a few other random industrial machines of that era, and they all seem to use a HD55/1, and I wouldn't think Massey would have that many filter options then.Hello M c I would appreciate a link to the Mann metal gauze filter as I cannot find one
They have probably never cleaned it out properly then. Do a good job of it and you will have no problems unless you have ingress of water or coolant into a hydraulic system, which you say you haven't so you should have no problems. Good luck with the old girl. Fingers crossed the new part is a replaceable gauze element, they are not impossible to find. Various dozers have them and they look rather like a paper filter, you get someone who knows their way around a fram or mann book and you will probably get something by measurements.It was down to previous bad maintenance see my earlier posts from when I first changed it. I am slowly getting the oil clearer I have done it twice now everyone that has a 50B on the forums and fbook reckons it will never be perfectly clear
Good point dobs, I can there are a few more fluid changes on the way, although difficult to see how I can get it totally out of the system with the rams an all.If you've had water in the system would that be causing the paper filters to disolve?
yes please
The bolting set up looks different is that piece on the threaded part a removable bush like a thread protector. Apart from that they look the same. How much you want for themView attachment 320284Had a quick look and found one think I have another one somewhere.
I will also measure mine in the morning to make sure there the same or similar sizeView attachment 320284Had a quick look and found one think I have another one somewhere.
I found the other one that’s just a piece of rubber tube over the thread. These measure 155mm x 83mm 65mm thick. How does £10 the pair plus postage sound?The bolting set up looks different is that piece on the threaded part a removable bush like a thread protector. Apart from that they look the same.

Hedgecutter that’s brilliant they are re quite a bit wider than the ones I have but I should be able to cut them down to fit inside the armsI found the other one that’s just a piece of rubber tube over the thread. These measure 155mm x 83mm 65mm thick. How does £10 the pair plus postage sound?

Yesterday I did glue one up with some tiger seal, and I have to say I am impressed with the bond it has, looks alright with a drop of paint on it. I dont know what the lifespan of the hold is going to be but should l be ok until yours get sorted .
