What It Is

This is an aftermarket air filter set for Briggs & Stratton Intek Extended Life V-Twin engines (18–26 HP), commonly used on John Deere LA135, LA120, and LA130 lawn tractors. It replaces OEM filters like BS 499486S, 695667, 492932, 808492, and 808656.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Engine check: Confirm your engine is a Briggs & Stratton Intek Extended Life V-Twin (model numbers like 44N877, 44P777, etc.). Not for single-cylinder or non-Extended Life engines.
• OEM cross-reference: Fits BS 499486S, 695667, 492932, 808492, 808656. Also works with John Deere parts M156605 and AM141869.
• Physical size: Measures roughly 5.5" x 4.5" x 2.5" (each filter). Measure your old filter’s outer dimensions and mounting holes to confirm.
• Deck size: Works with any deck size as long as the engine is the correct Intek V-Twin—deck size alone doesn’t determine filter fit.
• Aftermarket note: This is not OEM Briggs & Stratton. Quality is good, but tolerances may vary slightly.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy—no tools required. Remove the old filter, wipe the housing clean, and snap the new one in. Takes under 5 minutes.
• Dual filter set: You get two filters (one for each cylinder). Don’t replace just one; always change both at the same time for balanced airflow.
• Common gotcha: The foam pre-filter (if included) must be oiled lightly before installation. Running it dry reduces dust capture. If no foam is included, the paper filter alone is fine for clean conditions.
• Quality: Users report a snug fit and good sealing. Some note the rubber gasket is slightly thinner than OEM, but it still seals properly. Check that the gasket sits flush against the housing.

Should You Buy It

Yes—if you have a Briggs Intek Extended Life V-Twin (18–26 HP) on a John Deere LA series or similar tractor and want a reliable, low-cost replacement for the OEM filter. It’s a solid value for routine maintenance, especially if you change filters annually. Skip it if you need exact OEM specs or have a non-Intek engine.
