It's a bug bear of mine
Got 2 Great Danes in the run with 18Hp Commands
One has the filter mounted on a stand alone bracket so it is just 2 extra bolts.
The other has 3 brackets holding it to the blower housing so it is 12 nuts & bolts to remove the filter + 4 more on the housing before you can even think about taking it off.
So there is after all canister filters go on the ROPS if possible & fitted vertically .
FWIW the Engineaire brand filters are a lot cheaper than the Donaldson ones

I hear ya Bert, I designed mine to not have to remove any additional bolts at all for blower housing removal, just loosen the (1) hose clamp at the carb as every one needs to do to remove blower housing. If I had ROPS, I would still prefer the way I did mine. I think it looks like it came that way.

thanks on filter options.
