Oil filter doesn’t fit

[KB7001D]

Carrying out a service on the Kubota B7001D we just got and the oil filter doesn’t fit as the frame is in the way, tried the recommended one from Kubota specialist and one that was given to us with the tractor. Anyone else encountered this problem?

Original engine?

Really not sure, can’t find any visible information anywhere apart from the number 7. Recommended fuel filter also doesn’t fit, the casings too small, the current housing on there is Z500 which isn’t right either.

Right next to the injection pump facing up stamped into the flat will be the engine model and serial number.
It had a filter on it to start, what is that filter make and number?

That is a super common filter.

Yes I can see it’s got a D750 engine which I believe is bigger than the factory one, possibly why the oil filter is too close to the frame?

Did the filter you took off have any identifying information on it?

If not could you take it to a dealer and see if they have one that would match up?

Yeah, the filter is from Re filters, RL3012 but it was a really tight fit

That D750 is the stock engine.
Yes the filter is really close to the frame, but it doesn't matter because the frame to motor does not flex or move.
