I solved this problem for my former Perkins 4-107 with an adapter, available at most auto parts stores. You screw it onto where the filter was, have a couple hydraulic hoses made up, and mount the new filter housing onto the back top of the block. With it facing down, of course. I will send you a picture off list.

I poke a hole in the bottom to drain the filter into a small container prior to removing the filter. A vent hole in the top helps the process. It would be great to meet the design engineer and ask; What the H*#!L were you thinking?

Might be worth a try. Marek (s/v Fennel) in Ottawa
