Although it seems hydraulic filters don't need changing all that often. They would have to be pretty pricey to be worth the hassle of replacing...
Maybe just buy an extra filter from Boxer, then take the new, clean filter to a NAPA or other good parts house and let them match it up. They will be much more willing to handle and measure it if it's new and clean.
Most decent hydraulic supply or parts houses should be able to match up the filter for you. Boxer may try to disguise the part number by overlaying their own number, but once you have the generic filter number you will be able to get it anywhere.
