I went to www.wixfilters.com and Wix lists all the filters on that 
tractor.  I would say that if it does the job and it is the right price 
I would buy it.  I have a friend with a 4cyl Farmtrac and he works the 
living crap out of it and it is still running fine.

The key is knowing who so when the time comes for parts you can reference it by the more common counterpart. It takes a little more leg work and planning but can be done.
