Perkins 4107/4108 oil filer

[martidj]

Has anyone with a 4107/4108 come across this problem yet. I carried out my own engine winter lay up this year and used the spare filters that came with the boat. When I went to my chandlers to replace the gearbox oil filter which was a Crosland 503 I was told that this has been discontinued. I am wondering what to do next year. HELP!!

Do you need the gearbox oil filter or the engine filter ?

Engine oil filter is perkins part 2654403 (do not take the 2654407 as I once did as it is taller and may touch the injection pump command lever)

Otherwise what kind of reduction gear do you have ?

I got a couple of Crosland 307 filters for (my 4108) which are apparently the same thing.

the 4108 engine oil filter is the same as the V8 Rover 3500
the TMP gearbox is Fram PH 2869

If you have the TMP hydraulic box i have 3 anodes for sale ( all thats left of the engine ) after re-engining 4 yrs ago

There are a wide range of equivalent filters which will be suitable. Just nip down to your local auto parts shop and ask what equivalents you could use and he'll reel off a list of five or six. Some don't have non-return valves, so you'll dribble oil while fitting them. At least it's clean oil.

You could also ring 'ASAP' - they'll post a few equivalents to you on a credit card sale.
