Screen Assembly for Hydraulic Power Pack

[tdfuller]

So, decided to finally replace the missing screen P/N 1280809-4 for the hydraulic gear power pack. It has been missing forever. But the part was originally there for a reason.
Expensive for a small part. No luck finding it on Wentworth or BAS. Curious if other R182 owners notice their screen is missing or have replaced their's?

Hey Todd,
Looked for our screen today and it appears to be missing. Parts Manual below indicates the screen is at the dipstick hole, so hopefully easy to access.
Found what looks like new/old stock screen for $120 at https://www.ebay.com/itm/265836266397?i ... SwjZpi~XM7 which is a deal compared to the $322 price from Textron.

Thanks for the parts locating tip. Yes that's it. Very small. In my opinion, what happens is that so much time passes between the little dipstick being pulled so the dipstick starts to stick to the screen, and when the "next person" pulls it out and is not aware, the screen likely stays attached at first to the dipstick, then falls down, perhaps behind the rudder pedals.
