593260 Air Filter for 4247 5432 5432k 09P00 09P702 550E 500EX 550EX 625 575EX Series Lawn Mower Engine Compatible with Craftsman Husqvarna Toro Series Engine

What It Is

This is a replacement air filter (part 593260) for select Craftsman, Husqvarna, and Toro lawn mower engines in the 500–600 series range. It traps dirt and debris before they enter the carburetor, protecting engine performance and longevity.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s engine model number (stamped on the valve cover or near the spark plug). This filter fits engines used on Craftsman 4247, 5432, 5432k, 09P00, 09P702, 550E, 500EX, 550EX, 625, and 575EX series mowers, plus Husqvarna and Toro equivalents with the same base engine. It is an aftermarket replacement for OEM part 593260. Measure the filter cavity: the filter is roughly 4.5" x 2.5" x 1.5". If your current filter has a different shape or size, it won’t fit. Check that your mower uses a pre-filter (foam wrap) – this filter does not include one.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made of pleated paper and foam; generally matches OEM filtration, but some users report slightly thinner foam compared to genuine Craftsman parts.
• Installation: Tool-free – remove the cover, swap the old filter, and re-secure. Takes 2 minutes. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: If your mower has a separate foam pre-filter, you must clean or replace it separately – this filter is the inner paper element only.
• Frequency: Replace every 25 hours of use or once per season, more often in dusty conditions.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you need a budget-friendly replacement for a compatible 500–600 series engine and don’t require a pre-filter. It’s a solid value at $5.99 for basic maintenance, but if you want thicker foam or an exact OEM match, spend a few dollars more on a genuine Craftsman filter.
