I couldn't find a filter for my Bolens 1556,
so I spun off the old one, and dumped out the oil. I spun the filter back on, took a second look at the pan holding the used oil, and realized my folly. By dumping the filter, I dislodged the dirt. Won't start it until I get a filter.

Called MTD, they insisted trans [ eaton 10 ] was made by either tecumseh or hydro gear, neither co. had info. Needless to say, now I * need * a filter. ** Don't do what I did, leave the dirt in the filter until a replacement is on hand ! **

The Eaton 10 was made by the Eaton Company . Is the filter you need for the hydro or the engine ?

WIX only lists 2 filters for the Bolens line, 51307 and 51410.

BOTH have 3/4"-16 threads.

The 51410 has NO internal bypass.

The 51307 has an internal bypass that opens @ 13 to 19 PSI.

The sizes are pretty close, with a gasket OD of 2.834".

If the thread and gasket sizes seem correct, cut your old filter open, and look for a spring-loaded bypass, then decide which filter to use, based on the presense or abcense of the internal relief.

If there's a number on the old filter your local auto parts store can probably cross-reference the number. Which engine is used on your tractor? Hal
