Hydraulic Filter Element for Komatsu Equipment
The Baldwin Filters PT708HD is a cartridge-style hydraulic filter element designed for Komatsu equipment. It carries a 9.8 micron rating to capture fine contaminants from hydraulic fluid. The element measures 9-1/4 inches in length and 3 15/16 inches in outside diameter. Two attached end seals are included for a secure fit.
9.8 Micron Rating Limits Particle Passage
A 9.8 micron rating stops most abrasive particles while allowing adequate fluid flow for typical hydraulic systems. It will not remove water or dissolved varnish, so separate water-absorbing elements or fluid conditioning may be needed in humid or high-temperature environments. The fixed rating cannot be adjusted for coarser or finer filtration without replacing the element. Thread size is not applicable, so the housing must accept a cartridge of these exact dimensions.
Cartridge Swap With Attached End Seals
Installation consists of removing the old cartridge and inserting this element into the existing filter housing. The pre-attached end seals simplify alignment and reduce the chance of seal damage during insertion. The most common issue is using a housing with a different inside diameter or length, which prevents the seals from seating properly and allows unfiltered bypass. Verify the housing accepts a 1 5/8 inch inside diameter and 9-1/4 inch length before ordering.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 9.8 micron rating or a finer filter for my hydraulic system?
The 9.8 micron rating traps particles down to that size, which is suitable for many Komatsu hydraulic circuits; select a finer rating only if your equipment manual specifies a lower micron requirement.
What does the 9.8 micron rating actually stop inside the machine?
It captures contaminants 9.8 microns and larger, helping protect pumps and valves from wear caused by fine debris circulating in the hydraulic fluid.
The filter has no thread size listed, so how does it seal in the housing?
Two attached end seals provide the sealing surface, allowing the cartridge to seat securely in compatible Komatsu filter housings without a threaded connection.
