What It Is

This is an air filter tune-up kit for Toro TimeCutter and Exmark zero-turn mowers. It includes the air filter (replaces OEM 127-9252) and pre-filter needed for routine engine maintenance on 42" and 50" deck models.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact fit for: Toro TimeCutter SS5000, SW5000, MX5000 models with 42" or 50" decks. Also fits Exmark models using filter 127-9252.
• Check your mower model number (e.g., 74657, 74661, 74667, 74675, 74680, 74723, 74726, 74731, 74741, 74766, 75211, 74866, 74867) before buying. The kit is designed for Kohler Courage/7000 series or similar twin-cylinder engines, not all TimeCutter models.
• Aftermarket replacement for OEM part 136-7806. Dimensions should match: ~6.5" long x 5" wide x 2" tall for the main filter. Measure your old filter if unsure.
• Does not fit TimeCutter with Kawasaki or Briggs engines unless they share the same air box (rare). Verify your engine make.

Key Things to Know

• Quality is solid – foam pre-filter and pleated paper filter are comparable to OEM. No issues reported with sealing or fit.
• Installation is easy – remove air box cover, swap old filter and pre-filter, reinstall. No tools needed beyond a screwdriver for the cover.
• Common gotcha: The pre-filter orientation matters – the open end should face the engine. Installing it backwards reduces airflow.
• Replace annually or every 100 hours, more often in dusty conditions. A dirty air filter can cause poor starting, rough idle, and reduced power.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Toro TimeCutter or Exmark with a Kohler engine and need a reliable, affordable air filter kit, this is a solid choice. It’s a direct fit for the listed models, easy to install, and priced well below dealer OEM. Skip it if your mower uses a different engine brand or if you prefer OEM-only parts.
