Agreed, my 15 year old MTD w/Briggs Flat Head is still doing fine. I did drill the plastic rims & bushed them them with some old stock I had.

I could cut grass, but I still have my stuff put up. Besides I'm still waiting on winter.

OP, you said "Spark plug" I'm guessing you have a 1 cylinder engine ? Anyhow in addition to the tools mentioned, you would need a "feeler gauge" to adjust the valve lash to, it might for example .004 on Intake & .005 on exhaust .

Real funny..........................

The Real ID license is NOT mandatory. It is just for those that Fly & /or go into Federal Bldgs a lot. Maybe this link below can answer some questions. https://www.dhs.gov/real-id-frequently-asked-questions

This "Real ID program" passed into law in 2005, but not pushed too hard, it seems. The mrs & I both had to show all this personal ID stuff to get new DL's here when we relocated from Fla to TN in 2006. They still have the regular Driver license & regular ID cards (here at least), if that is...

Google up Real ID license for your state, that will explain it best. And FYI, it is not mandatory, but if you ever fly or have to go into federal bldg, it is.

I did get a renewal notice, but nothing mentioned at all in it about the paperwork or the Real ID license. Here we have till October to get it. I figured if I'm going to go to get my mugshot anyhow, I may as well take all the papers to get it all done at once. Only reason I knew this new...

Thanks for your reply. Agree Guvment knows all already. Here we must supply our SS card, Birth Cert, but renewal is good for 8 years, I like that..

Not funny.

Getting time for me to renew my DL, was wondering if anyone has already gotten the (Gold Star) Real ID license yet ? Appreciate any input. I have read some good & some bad (naturally)..

Now this is my kinda rig..

(y)?

Same here w/ 100% gas.

O'reilleys here wants $14.95 for a Wix 57035. They can keep it. I can get 2 @ WalMart for a pinch above O'reilleys pricing for 1. Home Depot also carries Wix 57035, but it is $9.57, that's not bad. But not the best price either.

The FR series Kawasaki's have a steel cam & gear. IDK about yours..

Thanks Everyone for your input.

That would be fine, but adding in the shipping & it's a wash. $12.28. Plus I get a discount from RockAuto

Thank You Bert- I appreciate & understand what you're saying. And it makes sense. Kawasaki is getting too proud of these oil filters in cost. I have used auto filters on every previous riding mower, & never any oil or engine related issues. I looked up your Rotary link & Stens. They would...

Seems so. Thank You. Now I wanna look up specs

Yes Scrub, Wix 57035, but same price as the Kawasaki filter.

I have done exactly the same thing. That new number can't be found. Yet on the Phone to Kawasaki today they claim that is the latest offering. & I told them about not finding it on their website, & they replied it must not have been updated yet.. This new filter is so tiny. And if it's...

So of course I called Kawasaki today, & they confirmed the new part # 49065-0721 the tiny filter is indeed the latest offering from them. I also read Fram is making them for Kawasaki, which made me really pizzed. Why doesn't anyone use something like a Purolator PL10241 or something else...

Yes that's what it shows, but not what it shipped. :rolleyes:

I just compared to the 'new replacement' that Kawasakiengines.com has no info on this new filter. And it is a lot smaller. Both in length & OD. I think the it should work, but I may just send them back. :mad:

Ahhh, I can neither confirm or deny that statement.

I thought no politics was permitted on this forum.. Admittedly that was just skimming it, but a different forum I frequent has had that snowball into a battle of BS. I'm out..

Air filter smoking ? Is it oil soaked or what ?

Yes & it is not legal to tamper with those models or any for that matter. :rolleyes: Todays engines run so lean it is insane. lean = more heat.

:cool:(y)

That's interesting, cause I've been running same size hex on my Harley oil filters since the 90's & never any leak issues at the hex or elsewhere. They are pressure tested you know.. Thanks for Briggs number.

Appreciate that Scrub- All are slightly smaller diameter than what mine takes.

Cpurvis- Thank You Sir as well, Yes the Wix # is 57035, I've been using the OE filters, & when my order for the 49065-7007 now shows as 49065-0721 I got concerned. Wix would be fine, I just prefer the hex on filter ends. And I only hand tighten, but that hex allows me to sleep better. LOL.

ILENGINE- I thought the official Kawasaki engine site would show it, but no. I see in description to the new # that it now has by-pass & anti drain back... Shows on the OE Kaw box both numbers as the new # replacing the old number. I just don't like change I guess.. Thank You Sir...

Is this legit ? I can't get any info off the Kawasaki engine site. Been using OE 49065-7007 since day 1, now filters I have coming are said to be 49065-0721.

They just keep getting better..

They also make mulch outta ground up automobile tires, costs more initially, but never needs replaced. Just throwing it out there.

You're right, & looks like a blast to drive.

Welcome....

Now that is practical...

compare prices @ partstree.com

Measure everything, if it all seems same, And shaft is same O.D. you will need to tap in some new threads.

I hear ya about "so many things to do"... not enough hours in the day or energy. LOL

Yes I remember that. But you have upgreaded to that new Engine.

That spray paint is pretty thin, I think I would have opted to brush paint them & a couple coats as well. Reguardless, they look 100% better.

Sad but true these days.

Maybe it was just my computer. IDK, it started doing some crazy Blue screen stuff & my system blocked an attemped invasion.

Freaky thing then, IDK, I'm staying away from it tho.

Link in 1st post, I clicked on it & it made me puter screen go blue. I quickly shut down & have been running a scan.

Don't CLICK on that link. It is BAD.

Shouldn't come as a surprise, but what do ya mow ? everything is brown, cause you can't water. Been there to visit. No return trips planned.

So have I......

Welcome Aboard !

:giggle:

I like that one.. Bold little fellow.

(y)

Yep, that's for sure.. LOL Rivets- Yea, I guess it does have a bad vibe.. LOL

I wouldn't want to be pushing that. But never seen any like it before. Course I hate snow anyhow.

?

Yea, & looks like Smokey has the munchies too.

Thanks Scrub, I think.....;) Happy 2020
