6:00 The hole does not need to line up. It's a banjo bolt. Motorcycle brake systems use them.

you should put a piano hinge on the back engine cover, it gives a lot better access to the engine compartment

Awesome thank goodness for this detailed video and parts list !!!  Ordering now !

The hole doesn't have to line up. The middle of the banjo fitting has a hollow barrel shape to it. This allows the oil to flow out of the banjo bolt hole into the hollow space and down the hose. Don't wait for the filter to hit 85psi. The moment it goes into the red, change the filter.  The higher the pressure goes on that gauge the more oil flow you lose. You'll probably notice a gradual loss of hydraulic oil flow and performance if you don't.

I just finished my filter plus oil cooler project on an H12 (tank in different spot than yours) and I think it will help.  you have so much more room on the left side for the filter, I would have put it there to give more working room and space from the engine.  easier to change the filter too.  for the banjo connector, you don't need to have the bolt hole line up with the hose opening, the fluid flows around the bolt in the open space in the banjo portion.  its omnidirectional, its more important to have the right tourqe on the bolt for proper seal than alignment.  I love my machine, keep it up!  I just came in from installing 3/8 flat face quick connects on mine to prep for a tilting bucket!

Great video, this was so helpful, please keep making these.

I just put my housing right to the return side of the tank got a fitting for return hose just bought two fittings that’s all I needed

good job dave! We have the same model😏 It's a good reference for DIYers.

I think you normally change the filter at around 30 psid

Hi Dave.  I saw that your oil filter holder you purchased has a check valve built into it.  It is the black thing when you look into the inlet side.  I suspect there is a certain amount of pressure required to lift that off, so with that required small amount of pressure, and the flow rate of the pump, 10 psi is an expected amount of back pressure.  It might also drop once the oil gets up to operating temperature.

Hey dave im looking to do the same thing, i seen your part's list but do you remember the hose lengths you will need to make this happen?

Good morning, looking to upgrade my mini excavator, where did you purchase the parts?

Hey, great job. I have the same unit. Could you share part #'s or screen shots?

Where is the parts list?

Where in Canada are you ?

Isn’t there already a filter in the tank?

Mine didnt come with an external hydraulic oil filter, however i did notice there is a prescreen and a filter inside the hydraulic oil tank, when i took the flange off that holds the cap.  Im wondering if it needs an external filter with those installed?

NPT 1/2 in has id of 12.54mm  the DIN 15L has a 12mm ID so I don't think you would lose any flow

No amount of paper element filters will give you what you are looking for.
This application requires a oil pressure powered centrifugal filter.
This will filter wildly beyond what an element filter can ever hope to achieve.
