CC 7532 Fuel PUMP Pressure
 

The 7532 is the largest cub compact tractor. For years I have had a problem with the cheesy fuel filter clogging and having to replace.
I am suspecting that the filter element is packing the pores whether or not I use it a lot. On removal I can hardly blow through the element. Even if it just sits over two winters. I placed a large Carquest inline diesel filter upstream the cubs with the hopes of extending the cubs life. No good, the Carquest is still good and the cubs is shot. I finally took out the cubs and it is working fine with the inline.
I read that a 10 micron filter is good for a pressure pump of 1500 psi. And a 30 micron is fine for low pressure pumps. What pressure is the Cub?

The 7532 rolled out of the Factory with a Mitsubishi K3G Engine in it. 10 microns seem a bit too much filtered. If the Carquest brand works fine and the Cub Cadet one does not, I would trash the CC filter and not worry about.

Others that may have more experience with the Mitsubishi K3G, may chime in.

Update: The K3G uses Mitsubishi 30A62-00100 Fuel Filter.

I appreciate a guy that thinks logically. I have been fighting the problem since I bought it in 2008. I was never sure when I would be brush hogging and I would hear the Cub loosing power and finally petering out. The front end loader makes the filter change a chore. Without a fix I seriously search and found a JD 4600 compact. Bought a new JD loader, and it never lets me down. I still love the Cub and figured
it is time to fix the fuel problem and be able to run 2 tractors.
