If you have the long filter you can get a shorter one.

Not very much to go on here. Maybe some pictures and what you are working with other then 16hp v twin into a 9hp craftsman ?

Is there a chance that a shorter filter will work? If so, get your present filter and go to a REAL parts store where some folks know what they are talking about can help you. Take a picture of how the steering now is in the way of the filter. They may be able to help you "re-plumb" so to speak to replace the spin on filter piece on the engine with a set of lines allowing you to relocate the filter to another place on the mower. I don't imagine that will be all that cheap, I know it can be done. My wife's Olds Bravada (might have been her Intrigue, can't remember for sure) had the oli filter up by the radiator, as I remember having a time locating it when I was servicing it the first time.

As much as I like O'Reilly, AutoZone, and Advance Auto Parts you may get a clerk level parts puller helping you there instead of a parts professional. In our area, NAPA and Car Quest can usually be trusted to have some professionals.

We don't even know what brand engine you have!!!!

Post the engine's model numbers and the tractor's, and it may be possible to help.

yeah, probably not. There are too many nooks and crannies here for these threads to hide.
