Sometimes you can find the occasional K141/ 161 air cleaner. They are very much like the K90/ 91 in size. I've also used a MX filter but I had to make an adapter for it. This machine will never be a mower again so this worked very well adding a K181 on a Lawn Ranger. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just an idle thought I had. I do know specials and prototypes have been sold to the public in other industries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
