I’m glad to see that you upgraded your air filter system! That debris will get in your carburetor and find its way into your cylinder wall and score it losing compression! I did the same on my Kawasaki FR691V!!!
Great upgrade, now top it off with an ENGINE AIRE precleaner..it has a spinning disk that litterally throws 90% of the dirt out before it gets to the air filter. When it comes time to trade mowers, move it to the new mower. Air filters last 9x longer.
I just ordered the air filter canister kit a few minutes ago for my new Gravely ZT HD 60. I believe this is the #1 upgrade a person should do to their mower. A suspension seat, or at least a suspension trac seat frame mount should be #2. I ordered the suspension trac seat and Gravely rubber floor mat last night.
Looks like a great upgrade to the Ikon XD, I just purchased one myself and I'm going to do the same thing to mine, thanks for the information and video
That is absolutely nuts, my name is Jimmy, and I have the ariens XD as well! Haha. Totally different guy! Just bought this canister, and my mower is EXACTLY the same!!! Do you have the suspension seat upgrade kit? If you still have that mower. I forget who makes it, but I added it, and it became the most comfortable mower I’ve ever had with it! If you run that mower daily, get it, I promise it will save that back of yours!
So I realize this is an old video, but I know some of the icon xds had the top bar that goes over the engine and some don't. Mine does, did yours, and you had to remove it, or did it not have it to begin with? If it's mentioned somewhere I missed it. Also, how's it holding up so far? Thanks.

I purchased it from amazon and on my next oil change, i remove the old plug and put this one in. Never looked back. Just look up oil drain hose for Kawasaki engine
I have a badboy Maverick zero turn mower Kawasaki fs730v engine. I upgraded my canaster air filter. Before I upgraded my canaster air filter. I called the Kawasaki company. I told them I want to upgrade a bigger air filter. I asked them will that voided the warranty. They said It will voided the warranty. I have a 3 year now 2 years left on the Kawasaki engine warranty. So I thought about it for a long while but I couldn't stand it. So I ended up ordering the canaster air filter. But what I did was kept the old air filter. I have these push pins that's holding the canaster air filter. So if I have to bring my mower to the shop. All I have to do is remove the push pins and i put back the standard air filter. They will never know that I upgraded the canaster air filter.
@@NewHopeCutzandLawnCare 10.2 hrs so far I'm not trying to void my warranty my warranty is good on my engine for 6 years. I would sell the kit for $140 shipped lower 48 states I just paid $230 for It couple weeks ago from power equipment man
@@chevyguy1128 don't sell the canaster air filter. If you still have the old air filter. Keep it. If you have a engine problem And if you have to take your mower to the shop. Swap the canaster air filter to the standard air filter. They will never know that you baught the canaster air filter.
These air filter canisters should come standard on all zero turn mowers.
Agreed they work well
They do come standard on commercial grade mowers. Prosumer models, not so much. Homeowner level, never.
Looks like a great upgrade. Proper air flow is crucial for any engine. Nice job sir.
I appreciate the shout out and the conversation very much. Keep up the awesome work brother. I’ll check out the website.
works super well on my hustler but i drilled a 2.5" hole for the hose in my stock air cleaner cover and left it on the engine
I’m glad to see that you upgraded your air filter system! That debris will get in your carburetor and find its way into your cylinder wall and score it losing compression! I did the same on my Kawasaki FR691V!!!
I have that exact engine does it make your mower a little faster?
Yessir
@@hashim1608 No Sir. It gives it more power though.
Looks great! Thanks for your business!
Does it make it a little faster ?

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I just purchased a Bad Boy with that same engine, I’m definitely gonna do this upgrade
Nice addition I see those alot on the Kawi engines good thing you saved some money by ordering it. Good video💪🏾

That’s great. Yes I run the trac seats as well. Newhopecutz@gmail.com is my email. Drop me your contact information thanks.
Nice upgrade. That will save you on fuel and air filter replacement. Very good investment and video!!!
Thank you for the feedback. It's been working out so far.
Definitely going to do this upgrade thanks for the video that little filter keeps getting clogged fast
You will love that upgrade
Looks like a great upgrade to the Ikon XD, I just purchased one myself and I'm going to do the same thing to mine, thanks for the information and video
Yessir great upgrade for sure. Thank you for your comments
I put a filter minder on mine to tell you when the filter needs replacement.
I’m curious about the upgrade but don’t like how it’s held in by plastic pins.
I have mine for a while and no issues. I added some thread locker to mine and been cuttin ever since
That looks like a tractor air filter. That will really be great on your engine. More filtration and longer life.
Thanks man, i have been looking at this filter and wondering how well it would work.
Works well
That is absolutely nuts, my name is Jimmy, and I have the ariens XD as well! Haha. Totally different guy! Just bought this canister, and my mower is EXACTLY the same!!!

Still have my money maker
The oil drain hose comes on a ariens apex 52 with FR691v any updates on how the canister system is doing
I am picking this up today. Thanks.
Still working great for my mower.
@@NewHopeCutzandLawnCare I love it. It is like a new machine, it runs much better and does not bog down when engaging the PTO. Wow.
The feeling is mutual and mine does the same. I think I get better fuel usage too as well
Great content,thanks for info!
Thank you
just received my canister filter and now i see you also have to remove ROP, does that affect the rigidity of mower
Nice video
Thanks
So I realize this is an old video, but I know some of the icon xds had the top bar that goes over the engine and some don't. Mine does, did yours, and you had to remove it, or did it not have it to begin with? If it's mentioned somewhere I missed it. Also, how's it holding up so far? Thanks.
@@augustspurigo5778 I removed mine because I upgraded the air filter. Still running great. 👍🏾
Getting this for my Kawasaki fs651v from Power Equipment Man. Do you feel any increase in power? I am looking forward to improved filter regardless!
Yes runs better
Great video .. wished you’d of started the mower and pto .. also more sound performance before and after new upgrade … other Than that great video
It started right up and power increase has improved. Seems to run better and more air flow to the engine.
I brought the Ariens Zenith last year and it came with that type of air filter.
How are you liking the zenith?
@@Honda1k I love it. It used to take me three hours or more to mow my yard now I can do it in 1 and 1/2 hour.
Do you have a link for the oil hose extention im ordering the air filter kit next week

Works great for me.. Thanks for watching my video.. Hope you will sub to the channel for more content! TY
Do you think it makes it a little faster? Im thinking about getting one
Yessir I think she does.
Hey Bro. I like the idea of that oil drain hose. How and what did you use.
I purchased it from amazon and on my next oil change, i remove the old plug and put this one in. Never looked back. Just look up oil drain hose for Kawasaki engine
Thanks bro. I'm ordering right now.
I want to get the air filter for our mower
You will love it
Does it seem sturdy with only two screws holding it
Very sturdy. No complaints
I will receive my kit tomorrow. How has it been working for you this far?
Working great
@@derrickzx9r yeah I installed one back in June love it I did modify the factory filter cover to make it look better.
@@Honda1k how did you modify the lid? I may have an idea how you did it. I see that sharing a pic on her is not an option.
hey brother how expensive is the upgrade? and is there any difference in the way it runs
It was 250 when I bought it last year. Complete kit. She seem to run smoother and faster
209.99
What’s the part number???
Go to Amazon and search for Kawasaki drain hose.
Looks good? Will it void the warranty?
I don’t but think so but I have had it so long now that the warranty is gone 😂
I have a badboy Maverick zero turn mower Kawasaki fs730v engine. I upgraded my canaster air filter. Before I upgraded my canaster air filter. I called the Kawasaki company.

Keep the old air filter
Never worried about it. It’s been great so far.
Scag said it would.
Cost WAY too much!
Overtime will save on filters and you get better performance with airflow
I have one of these kits I will sell in good condition if interested please comment let me know
Why u selling it
@@NewHopeCutzandLawnCare it would void my factory warranty
@@chevyguy1128 how many hours you got on it on the mower. Had not had any issues with my unit.
@@NewHopeCutzandLawnCare 10.2 hrs so far I'm not trying to void my warranty my warranty is good on my engine for 6 years. I would sell the kit for $140 shipped lower 48 states I just paid $230 for It couple weeks ago from power equipment man
@@chevyguy1128 don't sell the canaster air filter.
If you still have the old air filter. Keep it. If you have a engine problem
And if you have to take your mower to the shop. Swap the canaster air filter to the standard air filter. They will never know that you baught the canaster air filter.
