| Ran out of oil filters for the C and WD45, bought one and the price was about $20.00. I was shocked they had went up so much. Read on the forum TSC was clearing out their current stock of filters for $1.59 and of course our local store was out. Checked around and prices ranged from $13.50 to $25.00. Finally checked with Autozone and they had Fram C159 filters for $7.99 each and I ordered four. From what I can find this is the best price I could find. Got them overnight. Thought somebody might be interested. |

Mike, I just got done shopping around for filters my self.sounds like you lucked out on the price of the filters.when I checked autozone and advance and others on line, the best I price I could find was around $13.00.Agco was out of control, over $20.00, two and a half years ago.After a little digging on the interweb I found this place ( http://usa.petroil.net/T300-M/" rel="nofollow - Link to petroil filtration exporters ) and ordered a case of baldwin t300m for 80.14.With shipping, delivered to the house,ended up being 8.52 each,not too far off from your price.The only draw back was 2-3 week lead time.My order took exactly three weeks.By the time I found out about tsc clerence sale on the frams(tow days before the baldwins showed up) , I had already ordered the baldwins.I happened to be out the other day ,and stopped in at two TSC close to me, and lucked out,and found five c159 on the shelves between the two stores which came home with me.I should be stocked up for a while now. ------------- 54 wd-45gas ; 56 wd-45d N/F w/fact p/s ; 63 d-17 sIII N/F gas ; 60 D14 N/F ; 67 d-17 sIV N/F gas ; 63D15 sII W/F; 39rc#667 ; 2021 massey 4710 fwa ; gravely 2 wheel tractors |

| Is this a TSC closeout or is Fram ceasing production of these? If Fram stops producing this filter, other brands of it will disappear too. We used Wix filters on an old Wisconsin genset at work years ago, but I never looked to see if it was stuffed with cotton the same way the Fram is. I don't think Wix ever had Fram produce anything for them. |

You won't lose money if you bet that one manufacturer makes filters for several different companies to put their label on. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

As mentioned above, I found some C159s from Mill's Fleet Farm, online. They were $8.95. Not as good as $1.59 or $7.99, but better than the $20 I paid last time. I bought 4. ------------- 1951 B |
