Description of Change: A 5 Micron Hydraulic System Filter 126-1817 is available for improved serviceability.

Adaptable To: This filter should be used for servicing all TH machines. The filter is installed in the normal manner. The 126-1817 filter replaces all previous TH filters: 9T-0973, 108-1153, and 134-3014.

The main benefit derived from the new filter is that smaller particles of contamination are removed from the hydraulic system. This will improve serviceability of all the hydraulic components.

NOTE: The replacement filter will have the same service interval change as the former filters. The filter will be changed at the 500 hour service level.
