Allis 8050 engine build

Aftermarkets can be fine if they are the right type and micron. Many come out of the same building but if the microns are wrong you can mess up your engine. Fram used to be absolutely no good no matter if the microns were right or wrong but it's been years since I cut one up to see it's guts. 20 years ago they were glued together inside and every one we cut apart in mechanics school had come apart at the seam and they had far fewer pleats than an OEM filter, so no, not all filters are built the same. I don't care what claims ares made. I'd cut it apart first to prove that they are the equivalent. Glued seamed vs metal crimped seams, twice as many pleats means a whole lot more filter area. It all ads up sometimes to you get what you pay for.

filters are built by other companies to the oem company's specs. Not all cross referenced filters are exactly the same. 

How lucky for you then. By sheer dumb luck the numbers supposedly interchange. It's pretty clear that you did no prior research on this matter except finding something that fit the threaded base.

Dadgum! That looks great! I can only imagine how complicated those engines are! I'll admit I thought engine rebuilding was easy after I completed my Ford 8N, but now that I think about it, it's a 4 cylinder flat head and it couldn't hold a candle to what you have done! Great job and keep the pics coming! And maybe post a video of the first start-up!

Also I've had it running to set up the throttle. I pre-oiled the turbo and cranked it over until I had oil pressure then I fired it up. Didn't take many revolutions until its started. I will get a video when I get it ready to pull out of the shop.

Lookin good! Great job

Our D6D Cat dozer with the 3306 takes the 1r0739 also. 1r1808 is the almost the same filter, just a finer micron rating. The 0739 is the standard efficiency filter, 1808 is the Advanced efficiency, therealso is a ultra high efficiency filter also but I dont have that part number.

Also I will be stuffing that radiator surround with foam! Incase ya'll were wondering.

Yes I have had it in the field for a couple days now. Got it done yesterday. Almost forgot to show ya guys this though. If you have ever changed the fuel water separator filter, you'll know why this is awesome! lol

Then a few pics of the finished tractor.

Then a pic of her in her work clothes.

Can see the dual on her that we got this spring. Special bands on the duals to work on the step rims.

Has the front axle been moved forward on this rig? Also, what have you changed on the weight rack to move it forward? Looks good and I bet the performance is impressive.

I don't think your head gasket is going to like 25 lbs of boost for very long if you are pulling it steady that way, also what do you have for a radiator?

Like someone not oiling the o-ring on the top of the filter before you put it on, and not being able to tighten the filter on all the way on.   If you really think that Baldwin, Fleetguard, Cat, WIX, CARQUEST, NAPA filers are bad. Better go tell the thousands of farmers, truckers, loggers that they better put on OEM filters otherwise its going to wreck the engine!
