Does anyone know the stock number for a fram oil filter or one i can buy from walmart for a 1947 farmall cub?

AC P-321
Fram C-235
NAPA 1153
Wix 51153
Purolator L2008 or L2009
Fleetguard LF-672

Fram does not include the gasket
Wix and NAPA include the gasket
Not sure about the others.

Thanks for the info. Barnyard

Some of those, and I believe the Fram is one of them do not come with a gasket. The NAPA 1153 does come with one though. I do not know about the others.

On the other hand, you might want to check your local Tractor Supply stores. I've been catching the Fram filters on clearance for the past few months at 79 cents each. I still turn them up once in a while in stores that I thought I'd already cleaned out. Picked up a couple more a few weeks ago. And if you can find them, a 232 size o-ring works well as a gasket. I think I gave like 50 cents each on those.

Finally got the scoop on why TSC has been almost giving away Fram filters for the past few months. Our local store now is stocking WIX filters. No more Fram.
But, so far none to fit a Cub.

Check for a Case IH dealer in your area, they carry the filters and they do come with a gasket.

NAPA has a 40% off sale on filters going on at my local store. Yours may too.

Hmmm...I'll call tomorrow, but the online flier for my local NAPA only shows their PLATINUM, not GOLD (#1153), filters on sale. Thanks for the heads up!

Orchlens farm stores had fram 235 on sale at $1.50

Orchlens farm stores had fram 235 on sale at $1.50

I'll have to check the one in Desoto, Missouri, which is the closest to me (25 miles).

Most TSC stores to my knowledge swiched over to Purolator filters. But what do I know. I only work there part time, part of the time.

Does the oil filter change yr by yr or stay the same

 

[Jim Becker]

All the same.

Frams are made cheap and have less filtering material than Wix or NAPA filters (which are made by Wix.) I'm sure there are others that are good, but Fram makes no sense to me anymore, although I bought into its commercial portrayals like so many others for years. No more.

In YouTube search bar, you can type "The worst oil filters on the PLANET!!!"

Well now, that video was enlightening.

Why would anyone sell one without the gasket? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

It is worthy of note that this comparison is for spin-on filters. Most of what was pointed out isn't applicable to a cartridge filter.

Comparison of filter material may be applicable although there is more to filter material than meets the eye.

Barnyard, you didn't mention Baldwin in your list? I happened to be 1500 miles away from home in the South of France recently and bought a filter from xxx oops will follow that up.

The attached photo shows my current filter stock consisting of the Baldwin, a NAPA and the remains of what looks like a suspiciously ancient (original?) filter that I replaced a couple of months ago.

Are you able to get NAPA in the UK, or did you pick that up on a trip to North America?
