You will have no problems, I have been doing the same thing since back in the 1990s with my dodge. I was having tons of problem with dry starts and lifter noise. Put a different filter on it one day and problem went away. Starting researching it and found a bigger filter to fit thinking bigger was better (as a general rule it is) but the problem came back. Turned out to be a classic Fram filter problem that I read about from the minimopar web site, again switched filter and problem went away for good.
Moral of the story is, dispite begger being better, there are differences in filter construction. Read up a little, bobistheoilguy.com is a good site. In my case, the drain back valve on a factory filter was a problem as was on the Fram, because Fram made the factory filter. Any filter other than a Fram would actually seal and not drain back the oil.
Most filters that you would want to stock up on would have specs that you can reference; flow rate, pressure release valve opening rating, even particle filtering rate. Compair that to your factory filter requirements and you are GTG. A larger filter will usually be better in every respect, with the exception of pressure relief setting, those vary at times without ryme or reason.
Bottom line, I will bet a jelly donut that you wont have a problem finding a single large filter that will work well on all 4 of your machines.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
