Description

When your Hanomag tractor starts getting sluggish or your Hyster equipment isn’t running as smooth as it should, there’s a good chance it’s time for a fresh oil filter. Baldwin filters have been protecting engines for decades with quality media that captures contaminants while maintaining proper oil flow. This BT217 filter is built to handle the demanding work these machines do day in and day out, keeping your engine protected when you need it most.

What You’re Getting

Anti-drainback valve that keeps oil in the filter when the engine’s off, so you get instant pressure on startup
8 PSID bypass valve that keeps oil flowing even if the filter gets plugged with debris
Built-in standpipe design for reliable oil circulation and filtration
7 1/8 inch length with 3 11/16 inch outer diameter for proper fit and filtration capacity
Standard 3/4-16 thread size makes installation straightforward with no adapters needed

Built for Demanding Applications

This filter works across Hanomag tractors, Hyster industrial equipment, and Transicold refrigeration units—machines that handle everything from agricultural work to material handling and temperature-sensitive cargo transport. Whether you’re running a tractor for field work, operating a forklift around the warehouse, or maintaining refrigeration equipment for transport, clean oil circulation keeps these machines running reliably when downtime isn’t an option.

Made to Last

Baldwin builds this filter to handle the temperature swings, vibration, and pressure changes that come with heavy equipment operation. The robust construction and quality filter media capture contaminants while maintaining proper oil flow, protecting your engine’s bearings, pistons, and other critical components from premature wear.

Installation Notes

This is a direct spin-on replacement that installs in minutes. Before threading on the new filter, wipe a thin coat of clean oil on the gasket, then hand-tighten only 3/4 turn after the gasket contacts the mounting surface. Over-tightening just makes the next change harder and can damage the seal. Can be used with OB40079 base for applications that require it.
