Oil filter housing and brackets

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Svenn

Want to confirm which oil filter unit you need information on. One is vertically mounted. It is the later design but there were service bulletins on installing them as replacements on the earlier trucks.

or the one mounted in the frame rail

From what you are describing I think you want the vertically mounted unit which is the later design it is a large filter unit and uses a larger filter cartridge sometimes called large military standard. Having said that I have also seen the smaller older style filter unit relocated and mounted vertically.

The horizontal mounted filters are a pain to change and being mounted so low and out of sight, I suspect, in service they may have been overlooked. Plus there was no way to drain them to remove any water without dumping the contents completely. From my reading the relocation was to in part improve the heating of the oil to help drive off any condensation in the oil instead of providing a place for it to collect. But the filter housing could be easily drained by removing the plug at the bottom.

Now as to your question yes the flexible lines are available I'll look up the part numbers. I've bought them within the last 2 years.

There several pictures of the oil filter mounting on http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/H...INE%20WORK.htm

Hi Phil

Yes- it the later vertically mounted type. I have the large standard military filter but no bracket.

Thanks for the pictures. Seem like a quite easy bracket to make, except for the "groove"(not sure what it called ) in the plate.

Does anyone have the meassurements for it? Outside dimmensions and plate thickness?

As for oil lines, numbers would be great. Thanks for helping me!!

Here are pictures from my library.....

Phil..... where did you get the funny reversed flare lines..... called "Weather???

We have a bracket in the barn...... can take more Pictures and measurements...

You will also need to find the brass block that connects the steel line normal flare to the pump/sump and the special flare on the top side to match the flex lines....

You will need two special head bolts that have the head drilled and tapped for the bolts of the bracket.....

Thanks Bob for the pictures.

I have the brass block and lines to it. Just missing the flexible lines. These are easy to get manufacutered, but how long are these overall?

Meassurements of the bracket would be perfect.

I plan to make those bolts from ordinary head bolts if I dont manage to get hold of these - how tall is the head on these bolts?

Cheers

Hi

Bob, I have found most of the part numbers all the fittings and lines are Weatherhead/Eaton dug out the part numbers, the flex lines are Eaton 81430-16 and 81430-12 last two digits are the length so you can get the exact length after all the other fittings and lines are in place. NAPA number is WH 8143016 and WH813012 again last two digits are the length.


Is this the inverted flare fitting wh6100x4 copy.jpgyou are talking about if so it is WH6100x4.

What I think we should try and do is get a good detail photo of the entire filter assembly, lines, fittings and try and plug in all the current part numbers or at least combinations of modern part that work. Here is a start.

The special head bolts on my truck seem to actually have been standard head bolts with another bolt welded to the head.

Thanks for the hose parts numbers. Do you have # for the brass fitting making the hose fit the brass block?

Any meassurements for the bracket Bob?
