The air filter is key to a smooth-running lawn mower. A clogged air filter can cause debris buildup and reduced airflow in a lawn mower engine. Filters age more quickly with frequent use, causing reduced engine performance, rev spikes, and difficult starting. Keep your equipment's engine running clean and your lawn mower running more efficiently with a high-quality lawn mower air filter.
Each filter we offer—suited for a wide range of models, including Honda, Craftsman, Kubota, Kawasaki, and John Deere air filter replacements—is designed to meet or exceed OEM standards. Precision-cut media, durable pleats, and sealed edges ensure dependable fitment and filtration. You’ll find both foam pre-filters and paper elements that support peak performance and extend your engine’s lifespan. Whether you're repairing a lawn mower at home or maintaining grounds equipment, our filters help ensure cleaner airflow, better combustion, and more reliable startups.
Most manufacturers recommend replacing your lawn mower air filter every 25 hours of operation or once per mowing season, whichever comes first. If you frequently mow in dusty or dry conditions, check the filter more often.
Absolutely. A clogged or dirty air filter restricts airflow to the carburetor, which disrupts the air-fuel mixture needed for combustion. If the engine can't get enough air, it may sputter, stall, or not start at all.
Yes, but only some types. Foam air filters—often found in older or high-dust models—can usually be washed with warm water and mild soap, then re-oiled and reused. Paper filters, like those in many Honda and Craftsman lawn mower air filter systems, should be replaced when dirty. If you have a dual-element filter, wash the foam pre-filter and replace the paper element.
