Kohler Air Filter Elements in SU Air Cleaners 444-544 1962

Jim,
I don't know precisely what those filters are for, but I assume they are for MTD yard equipment that have Kohler engines (Cub Cadet riding mowers?). Obviously they are intended for a much smaller engine then the B20, but I don't notice any air flow restriction, on the contrary. But gas mileage will tell, and I'll report on that in this thread after I've run a tank-full through them. So, check back here in a couple of days. The paper part of the element appears to be a little thinner than on the regular SU filters. There is wire mesh on the inside, and outside of the paper element to support the foam cover. This mesh is much more open than what the original Volvo part #73606 had only on the outside. Most of the after-market filters you see today have no wire mesh on them at all. BTW, I Googled Kohler #4508302 and several vendors came up with prices about half of the +/- $12 a piece Lowes charges, but then there is always the shipping cost. Not all of the internet vendors show the foam cover, which may, or may not, mean something.
