Title: Where do you buy generator filters?
Post by: Michaeloh59 on September 24, 2018, 04:39:32 pm
Thanks in advance for answering. I need the oil, fuel and air filters for my power tech 10K genny (MH10). May I ask where y'all get these parts at a good price?

So I called our NAPA and they were unable to use the part # I supplied him, which come off a sticker on the genny:
Oil filter-32090
Fuel-43081
Air-11081
Would anyone happen to know how to translate those power tech part #s into something a little more useful?
BTW also could not use the model # of the genny.

It would be helpful if you would post what the power unit is.  In that year coach they used both Kubota and Isuzu on the 10KW units.  Which engine will determine which filters will work.

If it is a Kubota, those p/n's are obsolete.  Get serial number and contact Kubota...Kubota in my area has fair prices.

Would just make sure of YOUR coolant.
Title: Re: Where do you buy generator filters?
Post by: FourTravelers on September 24, 2018, 08:41:43 pm
for sure don't mix coolant types.......................
according to Power Tech they just use the standard green coolant

Agree but I hope it's been changed since 97.

Can you use the numbers on your old filters? NAPA should be able to cross them.

On mine (Isuzu 10Kw) the Air filter is Fleetguard AF 435 KM, Oil filter is 2-94456-641-0 and fuel filter is NAPA 3386

I gave him the NAPA numbers that I had crossed over................ his may be different?

But my OEM numbers were the same as he listed, so I think ours are the same.

FT always uses the same coolant in generator as in main engine.

My model # is listed as PTS MH-10FTRR. So I think four travelers wins the internet, mine is a kubota I think. I will take those notes to Napa. Thank so much for the help, Gents. I love this place.

Just a couple question: you have listed 2 oil filters small and large. Surely there are not 2 oil filters on that thing? Second you use the green anti-freeze? I use red in the Cummings and assume it's the same in the genny?

YOU have to check what is in the generator,no oher way to do it.
Title: Re: Where do you buy generator filters?
Post by: FourTravelers on September 25, 2018, 09:53:00 pm
Just one oil filter on the Kubota, but both of those will fit it. The OEM number crosses to the smaller one but the larger one is the same diameter and threads just a bit longer and has more capacity.

I use the red OAT ( Peak Global Final Charge) in the Cummins, according to Kubota and Power Tech the Generator only needs the standard green coolant.
So that's what I use in it.  DWMYH.

As to the engine oil, what do the "CE/SG" signify?

Those are the API ratings of diesel approved oil (at the time - mid 90's)  the recommended oil should be at that rating or above for my Kubota gen-set. Current Delo 400 is CK/SN I believe, thats what I use,  the CE/SG is obsolete and no longer available. Sorry for the confusion but that was the rating recommended in my manual.

See link belowL
