Cross-Referenced parts

I'm sorry Mike I meant an cheaper or less expensive part. I have a mower shop nearby the filters are a little pricey considering the price of one for a car don't you think?

I am installing a set of 4" Truck type LED Dual filament lamps on ours to have better lighting and less Amp draw on the whole system. I am considering an electronic 4-way flasher unit for safety as well.

I think you are spending your money in the wrong places. That $4 filter at walmart is junk. I would invest in protecting my motor more than protecting my battery. Those led lights were probably expensive. I like saving money just like everybody else, but a good expensive part will pay for itself by doing a better job than a bad cheap part. I have been burnt with cheap parts before. Remember you get what you pay for.

I wouldn't run the cheapest filter, but I don't buy the briggs oil filters, either. Briggs doesn't make filters as far as I know, they have their name painted on them. You can get educated on filter manufacturers, testing and comparisons, materials, and design, on the internet. A good filter has quality filter media and materials in the bypass and anti drainback valve. Another thing I always check is the threads. I always wipe them out good, have found metal shavings and grit in there. I turn them upside down and blow them out with compressed air. That's the output side of the filter, any trash in there goes straight into the engine.
