What It Is

This is an aftermarket air filter and pre-filter set for riding lawn mowers and garden tractors. It replaces OEM and cross-reference numbers like John Deere GY20573, Stens 102-875, Oregon 30-122, and Craftsman 33425, and is designed for engines in models such as the LT1000, LT3000, and similar.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s engine make and model—this filter is not universal across all brands. Check your current filter’s dimensions: the main filter typically measures about 7.5” x 5.5” x 2.5”, and the pre-filter is a foam wrap. Cross-reference your OEM part number against the list (697153, 698083, 697015, 697634, 795115). It fits many Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, and Kawasaki engines used in John Deere, Craftsman, and Lowes’ 59471 models. If your machine uses a different air box shape (e.g., round or small inline filters), this won’t work.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs. OEM: This Podoy set is a budget-friendly alternative. Users report it seals well and fits snugly, but the foam pre-filter is slightly thinner than OEM. For heavy-duty or dusty conditions, consider OEM.
• Installation: Easy—remove the air filter cover, swap the old filter and pre-filter, and reinstall. No tools needed. Ensure the pre-filter is properly seated around the main filter to avoid unfiltered air leaks.
• Common gotcha: The pre-filter can shift during installation if not pressed fully into the cover. Double-check alignment before closing.
• Cross-reference confusion: Not all “universal” filters fit every LT1000 or LT3000 variant—some use a different air box. Measure your old filter’s width and height to confirm.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you want a reliable, low-cost replacement for common riding mower engines and don’t need premium filtration for extreme dust. It’s a solid pick for routine maintenance on older or non-commercial machines. Skip it if you run a zero-turn in heavy dirt or require exact OEM specs.
