Hi All,

Will I be able to add the oil filter adapter kit to my John Deere JX75 push mower with the 6.75HP 179cc Kawasaki engine? I can't seem to find enough information online to confirm or deny the idea, so I thought I would post here and ask the experts. :)

I did find part number MIA11866 is for the oil filter mounting kit, but I wasn't sure if the kit will work with the engine on my JX75.

Engine code: FJ180V-AS11-R
Engine family ID: KAXS.1791CA
E/NO: FJ180VB60211

The engine does have a blanking plate on the carbuetor side. The fuel line support is mounted there between the fuel tank and the carburetor's fuel inlet. I can get a photo of the area if it will help us confirm this is the mounting point for the oil filter assembly.

I appreciate the help!

Thanks!
 
At the price of that kit, I doubt that it would even worth adding it to that end. My recommendation save your money.
 
And the MIA11866 is for a twin cylinder Kohler Command engine so is it for the Kawasaki FJ180V-AS11. No way.

You are looking for JD MIA10499 kit (INCLUDES AM107423 OIL FILTER AND MOUNTING PARTS). May not be available.

Now the Kawasaki adapter PN is 32155-2012 and it will require 110161-2222 gasket. Also the appropriate metric screws and 49065-0724 oil filter. No info on what screws size are. That one is for you figure out.

If it does not already have an oil filter, then the engine was never equipped to have one. The JX75 had a couple of varieties. One engine was a basic oil slinger design and the other had a small oil pump in the sump with a baby oil filter. The ones with the oil filter were the "higher priced" models and usually electric start and self-propelled walk behind models.
 
See the attached IPL. All that is needed is to remove the bypass o-ring gasket and oil filter bypass plate. Install the oil filter adapter o-ring gasket then add the oil filter adapter and filter. Of the need for longer screws.

You would do more changing the oil once every three months. Only holds like 18 ounces. Not like you are doing an oil service on a container ship.
