You could do something like this from Glacier Diesel Power. It's available right here in the DTR Store.

Oh you're looking for something specific to Cummins. I've never seen one but I have seen other locations and mounts for fuel filters. I wouldn't doubt there are some out there. Maybe call or visit a local Cummins and see what options you might have. Even better if you can get an ESN from a motor in the combines you mentioned.

Case part numbers, where the letter J replaces the number 3 in the Cummins part number, can be found in this thread:

Also note but not confirmed, the Cummins Dodge specific throttle linkage bracket assembly may interfere when using this set up.

I think this is what you are looking for, it is on a stationary Fire Pump powered by a Cummins 5.9 6BTA-F.

The only issues I could think of would be the fuel line connections and maybe the bracket because this engine has a Lucas CAV injection Pump instead of our VE Pump, this engine also has a piston lift pump unlike out diaphragm style.

When you choose filters, look around and compare because different brands have different Micron ratings.

Hope this helps.


BTW was this what you were looking for?

Let us know how this fits, might be a really good option if nothing is in the way.

500fg racor has worked excellent on my two trucks

30,10 or 2 micron drop in elements available plus water seperation and clear bowl with drain plus easy t handle for changing filters on the go

got mine on the bay

some hose rerouting required but easy

can even add a fuel heater to it if needed
