Default 50% More Air Filter, And It Cost LESS!!

I originally did this on a 128 Cub Cadet years ago. The Cub has the identical air filter as the Gravely 5665.

For some reason, the larger Kohler air filter cost less than the smaller correct size one for the Kohler 10 and 12HP K engine.

The ID and OD are the same, only it is 3" wide, instead of 1 7/8".

A coupling nut, two jam nuts, and a 1/4" x 20 stud was added to lengthen the air filter retaining stud.



The air filter is slipped on.



And the air filter cover is reinstalled.



So, I get 50% more air filter, save a few bucks on the air filter, and the only downside is I have to put the machine in when it rains.

Yea, like this machine will EVER be out in the rain!!



Will a 169 air filter make this look correct?

use the cover off a KT then the whole filter is covered , if you want more filter exposed then cut out part of the cover facing downward. still has a nice neat appearance. if you still want better flow K&N makes a filter that size. We've been doing this for close to 20 years . Works very good.

Don't know but......

Does the foam needs to be have oil sprayed (soaked) on it for better catching the dust/junk floating in the air one kicks up?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
