In the process of getting the ExMark Lazer Z ready for the first cut of the season and I want to change the transmission oil and filter. The current transmission filter is an ExMark 1-513211 which is supposed to be 10 micron bi-directional. Went on the Exmark website and this filter is discontinued and replaced by ExMark 109-4180 (also confirmed by a phone call to a local ExMark dealer) which is 25 micron. Various forums say to not go with anything but a 10 micron filter for the transmission.
I found a Stens 120-380 on line that says it is a 10 micron filter.
My question is---Has anybody had any experience with using a Stens for the transmission oil filter on an ExMark Lazer Z? Any other input or suggestions would be appreciated.
Hard to believe ExMark would discontinue a filter and offer a replacement that doesn't meet the specs that Exmark recommends!!!
