Air Filter for generator

[Gregory OConnor]

Kubota has an application number that makes a big diff on parts like this. Many
of the kubotas require endusers to seek the OEM (powertec) for maintenance
parts. the best way to find the wicks or fram equivelant is to reference the oem
number everytime as wicks and fram go thru number changes also.
I have the same 54hp Kubota motors on skidsteers and hydroseeders however most
of the parts differ even rings and pistons. oilfilter mounts are moved around to
allow of maintenance access. the V makes it 4 cyl 19 makes it 1900cc and 02 is
the class. problem with stocking up on filters is the elements have a shelf life
when set in heat. I've seen the paper dry rot making the filter worthless.
