Diesel Fuel Filter Replacement for 440 ICD

I cannot find a replacement fuel filter for my 440 diesel. Can someone recommend one or where I can get one?

JD 440 ICD

Fuel filter: Wix 3513
Oil filter: Wix 51100 (GM 1100)

Get mine at NAPA.

This thread should most definitely be pinned or something in the FAQ forum. Very helpful, thanks 2006.

I did not find that the NAPA fuel filter worked for me. I use a Baldwin PF943.
Other choices are cross referenced to be: Fram C111; Hastings FF958; neither of which I have tried. Gil

Thanks. The Wix 3513 fuel filter worked like a charm.

My pleasure, glad it worked out for you.

This thread has me wondering about the fuel filter.
The wix 3513 that napa cross referenced to a napa gold filter did not work for me either. It is too short by an inch maybe. Gil is this what you experienced?
i,m planning to take it back tomorrow and check out a fram.
The oil filter seems to be ok.

There is a plate in the bottom of the fuel filter cannister that is sometimes loose and not in position. The filter is sealed at the top and bottom.
I had to pull my bottom plate out and repair it in order for the correct filter to work.

Ben,
I cannot remember why the NAPA filter did not work for me. I just crossed it off my cross-reference list as not being acceptable. My old brain will not remember too many details. I am relegated to making decisions by following lists and reading jotted notes.
Hopefully the Fram C111 will work for you. If not, order the Baldwin PF943.

It's making me wonder if there were two different canister styles or something. When I did a search yesterday there were numerous people that had the same problem with the filter being too short.
Like Gil or somebody else said it's not just a washer thickness or anything is like 1 1/2" too short.
The filter that came out was the old sock type filter (good chance the original one haha).
I'll have to look at my canister tonight and see if there is a plate or anything in the bottom. I know there was a spring in there, but not sure about a plate.

I did not take pictures when I repaired my fuel cannister. I will search the parts book to see if they indeed had two different ones. They changed a number of "things" through the two model years.
They way mine is designed, it has a round plate in the center shaft with a lip on the top side. That lip is what seals against the cork or rubber on the bottom of the filter. From there, it is a good 2 inches or more to the bottom of the cannister. It seems the design was so that there was a place for water/trash to accumulate.
I pulled the plate out, it had been crimped in place and over time had slipped down. That caused my filter to appear to be short.
Once I repaired the plate back to the original location, the filter is perfect.
The seal at the top is made by the lip that is cast in to the inside of the top cover.

My 440 ICD parts book only shows one fuel filter cannister - Dietroit Diesel # 5121370.
Page 15-5, line item 13.

If the correct filter seems too short, the bottom plate has dropped down or is missing.
To use a longer filter is not the answer as it will not seal at the bottom and therefore not filter properly.

I guess I'm going to have to look at my canister tonight before I change filters.
Must be a pretty common problem judging by the amount of people on here that had the same issue.
Thanks for the info 2006

So I looked at my canister last night and it does have a type of plate in the bottom. It's not really a flat plate but more like:

The piece is attached to that center tube at a higher point than the height of the actual flat sealing surface. I grabbed the plate and it is tight, no wiggle side to side or up and down.
I also don't know how to get that tube out in order to cut the plate loose and move it up.
I'm starting to wonder if Deere or GM made a modification at some point but didn't document it because the parts book doesn't spec. out the tube or plate or anything just the bottom canister. Hard to tell.

I crossed some of the numbers that people have given on here and the 3513 filter (listed as 33513) says the principal application is Case tractors.
When I cross the Baldwin PF916 which Lavoy suggested in another thread I believe, the Wix 33073 comes up. The principal application listed for this filter says Detroit Diesel Engines. It is also 1.094" taller which is going to put it at about the right height for me. I'm going to give it a shot and see how it works.

That plate was originally crimped to the center post. Over many years, the water and crud in the bottom (many were not drained and serviced properly) creates problems.
I had to work a while to get the plate loose from the post. Once I did, you can see how it was crimpoed.
Some of them drop down lower when the crimp breaks and they rust in a lower position.
Once I placed the plate back in on top of the crimps, the 3513 fit perfectly.
To save time, you can use whatever filter fits in there as long as it is the same flow rate and for diesel.
