4.236 Remote Oil Filter ... anyone use one?

Hi My 4.236 is about to go back in and I am trying to find a remote oil filter adapter. They all look a bit small for the factory oil filter mount.
Does anyone have one and know the model that they have to ensure it will fit?

There are very few details on the diameters of the seals on the units available online.

Thanks
Jim

Unless Perkins sell an adapter you probably won't find one specifically for a Perkins. The thread and diameter is the same as a Fram PH8a that fits many US cars, some Toyota, John Deere, New Holland, Allis Chalmers and others.
Your best bet is find a remote filter adapter for one of those. If you're near a tractor dealer or supply, it's more common to have a remote filter on farm equipment.

Thanks for the answer...
I don;t expect to find a pePerkins specific one, but there are so many different diameters, and the filter mount surface on the Perkins is an odd size. I was hoping to save some time by finding out what is working for someone.
I will try out our local tractor repair shop though.
Thanks
