Air Filter 698083 795115 Air Filter for MTD Toro Craftsman 33425 LT1000 LT3000 Riding Mower 697015 Pre Filter 697153 797008 697634 Filter Pack of 2

What It Is

This is a two-piece air filter set (a foam pre-filter and a paper main filter) designed for many MTD, Toro, and Craftsman riding mowers, including the popular LT1000 and LT3000 series. It replaces OEM numbers 698083, 795115, 697015, 697153, 797008, and 697634, and fits engines with a standard 10–12 hp flathead or overhead valve design.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your engine model (e.g., Briggs & Stratton 28T707, 31C707, or similar) and check your current filter’s dimensions: the paper filter should measure roughly 5” x 4” x 1.5” and the foam pre-filter about 4” x 3” x 1”. This set is a direct replacement for the OEM filters listed above, but it may not fit Kawasaki or Kohler engines without cross-referencing. Also verify your mower’s deck size is 42” or 46” (common on LT1000/LT3000) – the filter is engine-specific, not deck-specific.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket but well-reviewed – foam is dense and paper element is pleated evenly. Some users report slightly thinner foam than OEM, but it seals fine.
• Installation: Easy – remove the air filter cover, swap both filters, and reattach. No tools needed, but ensure the pre-filter is properly seated over the paper filter to avoid air leaks.
• Common Gotcha: The pre-filter can be installed upside down (the open side faces the engine). If the cover doesn’t snap flush, check orientation.
• Pack of 2: You get two complete sets (each includes one paper and one foam filter), so you can replace both or keep a spare.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Craftsman LT1000, LT3000, or a compatible MTD/Toro riding mower with a Briggs & Stratton engine, this is a reliable, budget-friendly replacement. It’s not premium-grade, but for the price and convenience of a two-pack, it’s a solid choice for routine maintenance.
