2 Pack 32 083 09 Air Filter Replacement for Kohler KT715 KT725 KT730 KT735 KT740 KT745 19HP-26HP Engine MTD Cub Cadet Lawn Mower 7000 Series

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of aftermarket air filters designed for Kohler KT series engines (19-26HP) commonly used in MTD and Cub Cadet 7000 Series lawn tractors. It replaces OEM part 32-083-09 and protects the engine from dust and debris by filtering intake air.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your engine model is one of these: KT715, KT725, KT730, KT735, KT740, or KT745. Check the engine shroud or owner’s manual for the exact model number—not just the horsepower. This filter fits most Cub Cadet 7000 Series mowers (e.g., LTX 1046, GT 2000) but also works on some Craftsman and Troy-Bilt models with the same Kohler engine. Measure the old filter: length ~3.5 inches, width ~2.5 inches, height ~1.5 inches. If your OEM filter is a different shape (e.g., round or larger), this won’t fit. Cross-reference with OEM part 32-083-09 to confirm.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: These are aftermarket, not OEM Kohler. Reviews are strong (4.6 stars), but some users report slightly thinner foam than the original. Check for tight seal after install.
• Installation: Takes under 5 minutes. Remove the air filter cover (usually 2 tabs or screws), swap the old filter, and reattach. No tools needed.
• Gotcha: This is a 2-pack—one is a spare. Store the extra in a sealed bag to keep it clean. Don’t run the mower without a filter; dust can damage the engine quickly.
• Maintenance: Replace every 50 hours or annually, more often in dusty conditions. Clean the housing area before inserting the new filter.

Should You Buy It

If you have a Kohler KT series engine (19-26HP) on a Cub Cadet or compatible mower and want a budget-friendly replacement that’s easy to install, this 2-pack is a solid value. Avoid it if you prefer OEM parts for warranty or exact fit—stick with the official 32-083-09. For most users, it’s a reliable, cheap way to keep your engine breathing clean.
