FAQ

This set is designed for Briggs & Stratton 18-26 HP Intek V-Twin engines. It fits many tractors and mowers from John Deere, including models D140, D130, L120, Z425, X130R, X135R, X140, X155R, X165, L118, LA135, LA120, and LA130. It is also compatible with Briggs & Stratton engine family/model groups 4209, 4223, 5063, and 5069, as well as Husqvarna tractors utilizing the same 18-26 HP Intek V-Twin air box configuration. For the most accurate match, compare your existing filter numbers and engine model/type code.
This set replaces air filter numbers 499486S and 698754, along with pre-filter numbers 273638 and 273638S. It also cross-references with 499486, 691007, 695667, 792101, 672772, 671231, 5408, 5408H, 5408K, 273238, and John Deere numbers GY20575, GY21056, MIU11286, and LG273638S. Please verify both the main filter and foam pre-cleaner style before ordering, as similar Intek engines may utilize different filter housings.
Typical symptoms include loss of power under load, black exhaust smoke, hard starting, rough running, increased fuel consumption, and visible dirt or oil saturation in the paper element or foam pre-cleaner. On lawn tractors, a clogged filter often manifests when mowing heavy grass, causing the engine to bog down prematurely due to restricted airflow.
Installation is straightforward and typically takes 5-10 minutes. On most Briggs & Stratton Intek V-Twin setups, simply open the air cleaner cover, remove the old paper cartridge and foam pre-cleaner, wipe out any loose debris from the housing, and install the new components in the same orientation. Most machines do not require tools, though some covers may require a thumb screw or a standard screwdriver.
Yes, it is best practice to replace both simultaneously. The foam pre-filter captures larger debris before it reaches the paper element; consequently, when the paper filter is dirty, the foam layer is often compromised as well. Replacing both together restores optimal airflow and extends the service life of the new paper element.
Common causes include dusty mowing conditions, dry soil, heavy leaf debris, and grass chaff being pulled into the intake around the engine shroud. Additionally, oil mist from crankcase breather systems can saturate the filter over time, particularly if the engine is overfilled with oil or operated on slopes. If a new filter clogs rapidly, inspect the air box seals, cover gasket, and check for excessive oil carryover.
Clean the air cleaner housing and cover thoroughly, ensuring no dirt enters the intake during the removal of the old filter. Inspect the cover seal, base gasket, and breather area for cracks or loose connections. Additionally, confirm that your existing part numbers match the listed replacements, as Briggs & Stratton Intek V-Twin engines may use different filter styles depending on the specific air cleaner assembly.
