[AT] Air filter lookup

[jdnut at aol.com]

Agreed with taking filter in to a couple of stores, and I might add reluctantly given some of the dialogue, a Deere dealership that handles riding mowers.  I was helping a neighbor with his Deere riding mower a week or so ago..... he bought a "kit" with air, oil, spark plug... etc., for his mower.... air filter was different.  He went to Deere dealership where he bought mower, and parts person said that there were four different air filters for that model of mower, .... with one being specific for California.  Anyway, to get back to the point..... the one on his Briggs Stratton engine was cylindrical... I might have guessed maybe 5 inches....??? in diameter, maybe 7 inches long, and fit on a pipe somewhere in the 1.25 to 1.5 range.  I suspect the inner diameter if your fits on a pipe is the key measurement if that is how yours attaches.

Kohler had a lot of stuff around that size--especially in older Cub 
Cadets and Deere lawn mowers. Got a tractor Supply near you? The ones 
here have a great selection of genuine Kohler and Briggs parts.

There are no numbers on it, and the NAPA guys can't find anything in their books. Of course everything is make year model there and they don't deal with much small engine stuff anyway. Does anyone have any tricks to find a filter than is 6 inches in diameter and 1.75 thick? I'm sure it was a common part at the local hardware store back when the tractor was made, but now I'm stuck trying to find a replacement with no idea where to look up filters by size.
