Those little filters are prolly a 500% profit, smaller than a match book cover.
I would think nothing that would melt from temperature or nothing that would
dissolve from petroleum oils would be appropriate.
I've seem washable furnace filters that would work.
i wonder the what are they 1 inch clear cheapo fuel filters. cut it open and bingo .. it doesnt go bad under fuel use. so oil shouldnt be issue.

buttttttt................ got me thinking... a lil modded cover with a xtern filter like a old chevy valve cover breather. they make them small enough on some of the atvs and such .. big twins also. mmmmmm

here i go again thinking hahhaha

A strip of fiberglass window screen folded several layers would work.

I have a number of 18 inch floor buffer stripping pads. I cut them up and use them for various cleaning projects.....but wait....
Viola, they turn out to be the same thing as those little filters and I have used as such.
I'm must be sitting on a gold mine!

Leave it be, just make sure you clean the piston in the ring groove areas as the abrasive material can linger there.

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.
