Where did you find this information?
BF1259
10 micron
I just got off the phone with Baldwin and was advised that BF1212 - 4 micron & BF1259 - 2 micron.

Reason I'm asking is I'm looking for a 2 micron.

I have the links in the above posts. I thought that seemed a little off.

The BF7633 is a 2 micron filter, it is the Baldwin version of the Cat 1r0750

I was just about to ask that. I have the PF7977 in my canister. No complaints so far. I will add the dfuser fuel filter and water separator soon.

I appreciate the help, I'm having a had time finding the filter I want. Called Baldwin and they said the BF1259 was 2 micron. I looked at your links and found the BF1212 2 micron, but can't find the BF1259, I'll try again.

I see the link for the BF7633 but where does it say it's 2 micron?

I googled "1r0750 baldwin" I know (or at least very sure) that the Cat 1r0750 is a 2 micron filter.

Are you doing a spin on or drop in?

I'm using the Baldwin BF1212, micron now and a Baldwin PF7977 micron in my drop-in. I'm trying to find a 2 micron spin on with a 1-14 tread.

Ok. Well then the 1r0750 cat filter or the BF7633 should take care of you. Wix makes one too!

I like the Cat 1R0749, is that a 2 micron, only longer?

It is 98.6% efficient at 2mic and it beat out all the other 2 mic filters per CAT.... including Baldwin. It is made at a CAT facility that only makes high efficiency filters and totally automated. Not one human hand touches it from start to finish. They did this because the monotony of making filters causes humans to make mistakes. That is how serious CAT is about these filters. I wouldn't use anything else. Go to Caterpillars website and read up about the 1R-0749 and 1R-0750 which are the same filters but the 49 is twice as long as the 50. I use dual 49's. A bit more money but cheaper than injectors...

good information tied up in here somewhere, who has time on their hands and wants to make something worthy of a sticky ? sure seem to be a lot of questions on it popping up, nice little chart with filter part numbers, year truck they fit, and their micron spec ?
