Baldwin H9073 Hydraulic Cartridge
This Baldwin H9073 hydraulic filter element uses a wire-mesh supported cartridge rated at 5 microns. It measures 8 1/4 inches long with a 3 1/8 inch outside diameter and includes an integral gasket. The element fits Caterpillar and CMI equipment where a threadless cartridge is specified.
Who this suits and who it does not
Maintenance teams servicing Caterpillar or CMI hydraulic systems that call for this cartridge size and micron rating will find a direct fit. Buyers needing a spin-on canister, a different micron rating, or a filter for non-Caterpillar machinery should look elsewhere.
Critical fit specification
The 5 micron wire-mesh cartridge with 3 1/8 inch outside diameter and integral gasket determines whether this element matches the housing and filtration requirements of the target hydraulic system.
Highlights

Questions about this item
What equipment must I already have to install the H9073 cartridge?
You need a Caterpillar or CMI hydraulic housing that accepts an 8-1/4 in cartridge with a 1 11/16 in inside diameter and integral gasket.
Will the 5-micron element work in my older Caterpillar system?
Yes, the wire-mesh supported cartridge is designed for Caterpillar and CMI equipment and fits the same housing dimensions as the original filter.
How can I confirm the H9073 is sealing correctly after installation?
Check that the integral gasket seats evenly, then run the system and verify no fluid leaks at the housing joint while pressure builds.
