I was ordering some onboard spare parts for my Universal 25XPB diesel when I couldn't find a part number for the foam pre-filter element that goes on the outside of the metal air intake screem assembly. In my research I found a thread about an OEM metal intake screen assembly that had deteriorated and spun off some small metal parts. Not good. I inspected my intake screen and it looked good. However, it gave me a bit of concern.
A new metal air screen assembly is >$70. A bit more probing on the Web turned up a nice comforting solution for 1/2 the price. A non-metal air filter made by K&N. The RU-2450 has a 1.75 inch ID which fits the smaller Kubota diesels. I measured the intake for my Universal 25XPB at 1.75 inches. It apparently will fit the M25 and M30 diesels also but measure your intake to be sure. https://www.amazon.com/RU-2450-Universal-Rubber-Filter/dp/B00062YQRA I've used K&N permanent air filters on my car and trucks for years. Why not Touche's diesel? I already use a K&N oil filter on it. The very favorable reviews on the Amazon listing specifically mention Kubota based diesels. A couple mention noise reduction also. Just an FYI for those of you that have Kubota based diesels. :) Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
