Hi Ron:

I have a lot of trust in Baldwin, Fleetguard, Lubrifiner, Donaldson air filters. I brought up the issue because I read somewhere that NAPA sold the canister type filter that fits the TM, and there was a significant cost savings.

I tried the NAPA, and did not feel comfortable with the results. I think the NAPA plugged quickly. There was no increase in dust, or off road driving, or road construction, so the filter failed in my view.

Baldwin is what most of the semi(s), tractors, and heavy equipment on our farm use. We have used them for decades, with no problems.

Just bringing up the question, it could be the filter.
