136-7806 127-9252 Air Filter Maintenance Kit for Toro Timecutter SS5000 SW5000 Riding Mower Toro 50" 42" TimeCutter SS SW SWX with V-Twin Engine

What It Is

This is an OEM-grade air filter maintenance kit (replaces Toro 136-7806 and 127-9252) designed for Toro TimeCutter SS5000, SW5000, SS, SW, and SWX riding mowers with 42" or 50" decks and a V-Twin engine. It includes both the primary and pre-cleaner foam filters needed for routine air intake service.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm three things:

• Model & deck size – Fits TimeCutter SS5000, SW5000, and later SS/SW/SWX models with 42" or 50" decks only. Not compatible with 60" decks or other Toro series (e.g., Titan, Z-Master).
• Engine type – Requires a V-Twin engine (typically Kohler or Kawasaki). Check your engine model number; single-cylinder or non-V-Twin engines use a different filter.
• OEM vs aftermarket – This is a genuine Toro kit, not a third-party replacement. If you need a cheaper alternative, verify dimensions: primary filter is roughly 7.5" x 5.5" x 2.5", pre-cleaner is 7.5" x 5.5" x 1".

Key Things to Know

• Easy installation – No tools needed; just unclip the air filter cover, swap the old filter and foam pre-cleaner, and re-clip. Takes about 5 minutes.
• Replacement interval – Toro recommends every 100 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Change more often if mowing in dusty/dry conditions.
• Common gotcha – The pre-cleaner foam is washable and reusable, but the kit includes a new one for convenience. Don’t oil the foam unless specified by your engine manual (most Toro V-Twins run dry).
• Quality note – OEM fit is perfect; aftermarket filters may be slightly thicker and cause the cover to bulge or not seal properly, letting in debris.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Toro TimeCutter SS5000, SW5000, or later SS/SW/SWX with a 42" or 50" deck and a V-Twin engine, this kit is the correct, hassle-free choice. It’s reasonably priced, genuine Toro, and ensures a proper seal to protect your engine. For other models or engines, look for a kit with confirmed cross-reference numbers.
