**quoted by Denny Graham on stovebolt.com** Ok, I picked up a paper element from Carquest, # CFI-87373. It’s black and has a wire screen outside and looks pretty original, at lest to the untrained eye. Now, I have a little more to say about using this element. The ID is a little to large and allows it to move around some and not center up properly. The ID measures 1.625" and the original screen is 4.5". The biggest problem with it’s 1.9" tall, where the original screen is 1.375", the .5”+ means the stud is even with the top cover or just a hair below. To cope with the stud, yet leave everything original, (remember, first do no harm), I made an extension that brings a new #10-32 stud above the cover. This is even difficult because of the old stud being even with the top cover. When you turn the new threaded portion and drill and tap the internal thread, the two meet at the top cover. It would have been better if the old stud were a little shorter. To cope with this I’m putting a rubber gasket below the element to space it up another .125”, making it a full 5/8” taller than the original. The extra height is a little more noticeable and looks, at least to me, a little out of proportion, but all in all it looks pretty good and will work fine. I've placed some pictures into Webshots that better explains it. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2615797910098611668VxBFZI I would like to know what the number of the element is, that the vendors are selling, Jim Carter (ME2381 @ $7.50) in particular comes to mind. And how well they fit the housing. Denny Graham Sandwich, IL ps. Oh, by the way, Carquest says this part number listing is for a "John Deere, Kohler or Wheelhorse".
