Loadstar Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Looking to change the oil in a 1953 LS85. The engine is a ENF707B. The question I have is about the Filter......It has a sock type filter now....The build sheet is hard to read but I think it says....236gb in small letters then 28B in larger print....I've read a bunch of posts here, but just want to make sure I get the right replacement if possible. Any cross reference Numbers or a place to buy one would be great.......THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I have been unable to find filters. I run mine without a filter. It is only a by-pass filter, not full flow and you probably won't put many miles on it. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loadstar Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thanks for the help! I had read that in a different post but wasn't sure if you were talking about the engine I have..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loadstar Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hi, Went to Napa and got a 1503 filter the other day......finally got around to changing the oil today. It seems i must have a different style oil filter housing. The old filter measured 9 -1/2 x 5-7/8......i'll try to post some pictures of it......Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Mack Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Did you find a replacement filter? I have a 1952 model 95 and my oil filter is exactly the same as yours. I also bought a Napa 1503 and it is way to small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmerrill0516 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I have the same problem. I have just run it without a filter...:( for lack of a better solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Maybe take a look at a Baldwin DF 408 sock oil filter or Fleetguard LF 508. https://www.grainger.com/product/BALDWIN-FILTERS-Oil-Filter-4ZRV9 https://catalog.cumminsfiltration.com/catalog/partsearch.do?&reqCmd=PartInformation&partNumber=LF508&PartType=Lube, Cartridge&Part=DF408&criteria=part&_locale=en Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Mike Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Don't mean to bust a thread, but can that old sock filter be cleaned and reused by spraying a cleaner through it? Like I did the B Models air filter and use Simple Green or something that might not dissolve the inner parts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Off and on , I've been searching for this sock filter since my last post. I have the online NAPA Filter Catalog for 2008 year. Could not figure why everyone else seems to find what is needed. I finally broke down and called my local NAPA store. They told me this filter was still available Part # 1503 but could not answer me as to why it did not show up in the Industrial online Catalog for Trucks, Buses etc. This catalog shows the Mack EN engine series except a 707 B. I like a mystery but sometimes it gets a little old when no one answers a question that is suppose to be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does you can practice cleaning the old one and see what happens. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, someone could have said that was a stupid idea and I can get over it. I was really trying to help but ran into a dead-end street with NAPA ON-Line Master Catalog. Also was nothing else showing when I Googled it. Thanks Jay for the best answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 On your truck's line sheet, in the engine section, what is the 236GB part number under Oil Filter? If you don't have the line sheet, check the dimensions on a 236GB28B (236GB28, 236GB28A). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am feeling under the weather. If I was feeling good I would have given you a ration of shit about cleaning the filter..... The NAPA 1503 is a cartridge filter about 4" X 8". The Baldwin DF 408 is a sock filter measuring about 5.75" X 10". Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
