What It Is

The Emmawin 2 Pack 951-15245 Air Filter is a direct replacement filter for Cub Cadet and MTD lawn mowers equipped with 159cc or 196cc engines. It ensures clean airflow into the carburetor for proper combustion and engine performance.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your engine’s model number—this filter fits 159cc and 196cc OHV engines used on Cub Cadet SC100, SC200, SC300, and MTD push mowers. Cross-reference your OEM part number: 751-15245 or 951-15245. Measure the filter dimensions (approx. 4.1” x 2.6” x 1.4”) to confirm it matches your existing filter. This is an aftermarket part, not OEM, but fits all Cub Cadet/MTD mowers using that engine family. Check your mower’s model plate (under the seat or on the deck) for engine displacement—do not rely solely on mower brand.

Key Things to Buy

  • Quality is decent for the price—foam pre-filter and paper element, but not as dense as OEM. Replace every 25 hours or once per season.
  • Installation is tool-free: remove the air filter cover, swap the old filter, and reattach the cover. No screws or clips needed.
  • Common gotcha: the foam pre-filter is removable and washable—do not oil it unless specified by your engine manual (most Cub Cadet 159/196cc engines run dry).
  • If your mower runs rich or stalls after installation, check that the filter is seated fully and the cover snaps tight—gaps cause air leaks.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Cub Cadet or MTD mower with a 159cc or 196cc engine and need a budget-friendly, two-pack replacement for regular maintenance, this is a solid choice. It won’t match OEM filtration under heavy dust, but for residential use on clean lawns, it’s more than adequate. For dusty conditions or commercial use, stick with the genuine Cub Cadet filter.
