air cleaner filter for 2015

crackercap · Jan 22, 2007

I am in the process of my 50 hr service, i have bought and installed the oil, hydraulic and diesel filters, but the air filter i purchased from napa using a cross reference for wix filters(46387) is no way near the original filter. Lubner
filters shows the number(LAF8620) NAPA says this number cross references to the above WIX #. Anybody out there no of the correct part number for a napa filter for the 2015?

I don't have a good X-ref, but why did you need to change it at 50 hours? I didn't think that was called for in the manual.

I did a lot of work under dusty conditions and it showed a lot of dust in the filter and since I was replacing the others, I decided to give it a fresh breath.

Diesel Power, thanks for the reply, this looks to be the same as the NAPA filter, but unfortunately it will not fit the 2015 canister, the filter that is in the tractor now is a one piece paper filter. I sure would hate to have to pay my local dealer $82.29 but unless i can come up with another option, I will have to do that. As simple as this filter is i am sure some manufacturer out there has it at a much lower price..

At 50 hours, I'd give it a blast of compressed air and shake it out. I've heard some recommend not using compressed air on air filters but, I've done it for some time now with no detrimental effects.

This may seem like a dumb question but where did you get the original filter number from? Did you get it out of the owners manual or off of the filter that is in your tractor now? If you got it out of the manual it could be that they had a mid year model change, changed to a different filter housing (which uses the above pictured filter) and never changed the owners manuals to show what it really takes. Check the number on the correct filter you have now and see if it's different. Wouldn't be the first time I have seen something printed wrong.

Have you checked out the baldwinfilters.com website - they show a cross to their PA3664-fn and they show the specs and the OE part numbers.

Baldwin is pretty good quality. We have a dealer in our area and they seem to be price competitive.

The Baldwin PA3664-FN crosses directly with the Napa 6387 and the Fleetquard AF4502K.
Crackercap claims these Napa and Fleetquard filters #'s are incorrect. So the Baldwin # would also be incorrect..
