4 Pack 32 083 09-S Air Filter for Kohler 7000 Series KT725 KT735 KT740 KT745 Engine, Lawn Mower Air Filter for Cub Cadet XT1 Engine Replace for KH-32-883-09-S1 32 883 09-S1

What It Is

This is a 4-pack of air filters (part number 32 083 09-S) designed for Kohler 7000 Series KT725, KT735, KT740, and KT745 engines. It’s a direct replacement for the OEM KH-32-883-09-S1 filter, commonly used in Cub Cadet XT1, XT2, and XT3 lawn tractors, plus other residential zero-turn and riding mowers with those Kohler engines.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your engine is a Kohler 7000 Series with one of these model numbers: KT725, KT735, KT740, or KT745. The filter replaces OEM part numbers KH-32-883-09-S1 and 32 883 09-S1. It fits Cub Cadet XT1 (all sub-models like LT42, LT46, etc.), XT2, and XT3, as well as John Deere, Husqvarna, and Craftsman mowers using the same Kohler engine. Measure your existing filter: this one is roughly 4.5 x 4.5 x 1.5 inches. It’s an aftermarket part, not OEM, so check that the foam pre-filter (if included) aligns with your housing. No deck size check needed—fitment is engine-specific.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs OEM: Users report it seals well and matches OEM specs, but the foam may be slightly thinner. Clean your housing before installing to avoid debris bypass.
• Installation: Tool-free—remove the air filter cover, swap the old filter, and snap the cover back on. Takes under 5 minutes.
• Common gotcha: The 4-pack is a good value, but if your mower uses a separate foam pre-filter (common on KT745), this pack may include it—verify in the listing photos. If not, buy a pre-filter separately.
• Change interval: Replace every 50 hours or annually, more often in dusty conditions. A dirty filter can cause hard starting and reduced power.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Cub Cadet XT1 or other mower with a Kohler 7000 Series KT7xx engine, this 4-pack is a solid, cost-effective buy. It’s a simple swap, the price per filter is about $4.50, and the 4.6-star rating from 35 reviews suggests reliable performance for most users. Go for it if you want a budget-friendly alternative to OEM without sacrificing fit.
