Hi All,
I have a Kubota L2800 that I've been really happy with. I try to give it great service/maintenance in hopes of having for the rest of my lifetime.
I've been replacing the air filter every spring, even though the tractor gets only light use, approx. 100 hrs. each year. I ran across a note in the owner's manual that surprised me, stating: "When carbon or oil adheres to the element, soak the element in detergent for 15 minutes then wash it several times in water, rinse with clean water and dry it naturally. Replace the air filter once yearly, or after every sixth cleaning, whichever comes first.
This is a paper filter, Kubota #TA040-93230, so I'm amazed that it could be safe to wash??? Anyone doing this with their Kubota filters? If so, no need to waste money for a new filter every year in my case. They are expensive!
Thanks,
Keith
