luber finer

jimandsuzy · January 12, 2007, 04:00:44 PM

My 40' 78 Western Flyer 6V92T V730 has a rusted and leaking Luber Finer on it. Any idea where to get a good one? I called a local truck junk yard and they said Huh? Never heard of such. I'm going to patch weld it to get back but it's so rusted I want to replace it before it springs a new leak. I might just leave it out but they put it in for some reason. Thanks for any info. Jim

A Lube finer is a secondary oil filter. It cleans the oil down to the smallest microns. In short it makes the oil a lot cleaner.

I had a Luber Finer on a 1970 KW, Do a web search for them, I believe there still being made. Mine was used on a 8V71 as a by-pass filter and was hung under the framerail, good luck searching. Ya might try Luke at US Coach he's old enough to remember them! Just kiddin Luke.

Hi I think Luber Finer is an Filter Manufacture of many filters you can cross the numbers and get the one your local autoparts store carry Bill C

Jim, what you are looking for is a luber finer 750. I still run them on my trucks, they are easy to find.

Just pull it off and change the oil more often. Good Luck, TomC

Thanks for all the replys. I couldn't find where I packed my cell charger so have been without internet for the last 3 days.
I had my luber finer welded and it held air pressure so I started off on the rest of my journey. It did start leaking again the 2nd day but nothing like what it was--2 gal in 70 miles. I have made it to my destination and will now replace the filter with one that larryh has offered. Thanks larryh.

My friend just had one of his employees drop off a lubefiner as soon as it warms up some only 29 right now I will pull element out of it and find a box to pack it in and will take to post office and get in mail to you.
