593260 Air Filter Replacement Briggs & Stratton, Air Cleaner Cartridge for Toro Craftsman Lawn Mower Engine 798452 334404 2 PCS

What It Is

This is a two-pack of replacement air filter cartridges (model 593260) designed for Briggs & Stratton engines commonly used in Toro, Craftsman, and other walk-behind mowers. It filters dust and debris from intake air to protect the engine from wear.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check your engine model number (stamped on the valve cover or cooling shroud) against Briggs & Stratton part numbers 593260, 798452, or 334404. This filter fits most 3.5–7.25 ft-lb single-cylinder engines with a rectangular air cleaner housing (approx. 4.5" x 3.5" x 1.5"). It will not fit vertical-shaft engines with round or pre-oiled foam filters. Measure your old filter’s length and width; if it matches the above dimensions, it’s likely compatible. OEM equivalents include Briggs & Stratton 593260S or 798452S.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: This is a standard paper pleated filter—adequate for residential use but not heavy-duty. Replace annually or after 50 hours of use.
• Installation: Tool-free—remove the air cleaner cover, swap the old cartridge, and reattach. No oiling or pre-soaking needed.
• Common gotchas: The two-pack is a good value, but if your mower uses a foam pre-filter, this kit doesn’t include one. Also, check that the rubber sealing gasket is intact on your housing; a damaged gasket can let unfiltered air bypass the cartridge.
• Price: At $5.99 for two, it’s about half the cost of buying two OEM filters individually.

Should You Buy It

If you need a budget-friendly, drop-in replacement for a standard Briggs & Stratton rectangular air filter on a residential mower, this two-pack is a solid choice. Skip it if your engine requires a foam or pre-oiled filter, or if you’re looking for a high-dust-capacity option for commercial use.
