Dirty Air Filter
Hi Guys,
I have a Cub Cadet GT 2148. Cuts grass really well, but the dust and dirt seems to get into the air intake and really make a mess of the filters. Any suggestions how to fix this problem? Pete

I don't really see anyway to avoid having that happen. As long as it's not getting past the filters I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'm sure you're having to change the filters more frequently.

Wash the foam filter out using dish washing liquid and rinse well , a light spray with foam filter oil
Wash and clean filter cover and give filter a good brush/blow (not compressed air) Reinstall Have to do this frequently/every time as part of my acreage is dusty Regards Oz Hope this helps more than a funny face (lol)

The filters are doing the job intended. You would only have a problem if you had no filter installed. Do as Oz suggested and you'll be fine.
When the paper filter gets dirty enough I replace it. The foam filter can be serviced as Oz said. If you choose to brush the paper filter, be sure not to damage the filter material. Remember, a new filter is much less money than an engine rebuild.

I do not suggest brushing a paper filter. It is fine to blow them out with compressed air. Just don't be stupid. Keep the blow tip at least 4 to 6 inches away from the paper.
It's an air filter.... it's gonna get dirty. That's what they are for.

I have the same problem. I think the best solution is to plant more grass. And maybe cut down the trees that prevent it from actually growing.

I blow mine out every couple mows, more often if it's blowy, leafy, or dirty. Otherwise replace once at the beginning of each season and mow baby mow.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
