Is Air Filter wrong?

[Iplayfarmer]

This is more than a "What's the part number for my air filter" question.

I've cross referenced the air filter from my iseki tx1500 through fram and through amsoil. They all keep coming back to the same Carquest part.

Thing is...the filter is a full inch too long and won't fit in the canister. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it likely that I have some kind of aftermarket air handler on my tractor?

There were 2 filters used . You have the earlier style.
