HOODELL 792105 Air Filter 696854 Oil Filter Kit Compatible with 407777 445877 Engine John Deere D170 Z425 Lawn Mower, Replace MIU11515 Air Filter

What It Is

This is a combo air filter and oil filter kit for lawn mowers with Briggs & Stratton 407777 or 445877 engines. It’s designed for routine maintenance on John Deere models like the D170 and Z425, as well as other tractors using those engines. The air filter prevents debris from entering the carburetor; the oil filter traps contaminants in the engine oil.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Engine check first: This kit fits only engines with model numbers 407777 or 445877 (Briggs & Stratton). Look on the engine shroud or valve cover for the model number—not the mower model alone.
• Mower models confirmed: John Deere D170, Z425, Z445, Z465, X300, X304, X320, X340, X360. Also fits many Craftsman, Husqvarna, and Simplicity models with those engines.
• OEM cross-references: Air filter replaces OEM 792105, MIU11515, 793679. Oil filter replaces 696854, 492932S.
• Measurements: Air filter is roughly 4.5” x 3.5” x 1.5” (check your old filter against this). Oil filter is 3.5” tall with a 0.75” thread. Not for Kohler, Kawasaki, or other engine brands.

Key Things to Know

• Installation is easy: Air filter slides in without tools; oil filter spins on by hand (tighten 3/4 turn after gasket contacts). No special adapters needed.
• Aftermarket quality: HOODELL uses pleated paper for the air filter and a high-flow media for the oil filter. Reviews indicate it meets OEM specs at a lower price.
• Common gotcha: Some users report the air filter foam pre-cleaner is slightly thinner than OEM—still functional, but check for snug fit. If it’s loose, it may let dust bypass.
• Change interval: Replace both every 100 hours or annually, whichever comes first. More often in dusty conditions.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you own a compatible John Deere or other mower with a Briggs 407777 or 445877 engine and want a reliable, inexpensive maintenance kit. It’s a solid value for the price, with strong ratings and easy installation. Skip it if you need OEM-only parts for warranty reasons or have a different engine model.
