Installing a brand-new air filter keeps the engine in top running condition. When the machine is in operation, the vacuumed air goes through the air filter. Any dirt or dust is left in the filter media. Over time, the filter will become dirty and can no longer provide the same filtering efficiency as before. If left ignored, the tiny particles could clog the engine and the carburetor. You may experience misfires and no engine start-up. An air filter replacement is cheap and easy to do. Simply remove the air cleaner cover and take out the dirty filter. Insert the new filter into the housing. This replacement will take less than 5 minutes. A screwdriver will be needed. The MTD 951-10298 Air Cleaner Kit is a genuine air filter from MTD. Each kit comes with one paper filter and one foam filter. The foam filter can be cleaned with water and detergent. The paper filter, however, needs replacement at least once a year. This air filter kit is compatible with Cub Cadet, PowerMore, and Troy-Bilt. It can also work with other garden equipment like wheel string trimmers, chipper-shredder vacuums, and log splitters.
The air filter sifts out particles and debris as air enters the engine of the mower. In small equipment engines, air filters can help provide optimal performance of the engine. The filter is made of durable foam and is rectangular in shape and is sold as a single unit. Over time, they can become clogged with debris and particles and may require replacement as a part of regular maintenance. This MTD air filter replacement will keep equipment running better and releasing fewer emissions. Before installing, soak the filter in oil and then remove the excess. The oil will help catch more debris than a dry filter would and provide more protection for the engine. This filter is made to exact OEM standards and is designed for use on select gas-powered blowers and trimmers made by MTD, Troy-Bilt, and Cub Cadet.
