After 5 years of owning my tractor I recently noticed this shown below decal on my L4701 air filter housing. It's located on top of housing near to hose to engine. Shows Donaldson and Kubota part numbers for housing, primary and safety filters. Anyone else ever found this on other models?

Is that a Donaldson sticker someone has placed there? What’s the rest of the sticker say?

Now you know that whoever replaced the filter did not use genuine Kubota part(s)

Actually, Donaldson makes the housing and Kubota uses Donaldson filters OEM. Ie: Kubota OEM filters are Donaldson

I bought this tractor new ( .3 hrs when delivered). Never had service done by dealer as I do my own. This decal has to have been on since new but I just recently noticed it. Just wondering if anyone else has similar decal on their tractors filter housing.

That particular Donaldson filter and housing is a very well tried and proven air filter system. My 1974 John Deere as well as my 1998 Lomberdini engine on my sawmill both use the same system.

I am impressed with the filter system. Two times now I have churned up enough chaff with my flail mower to plug up the radiator screen but there was no dust or anything in the air filter housing.

Kubota offers as an accessory, a right angle snorkel snout (for lack of a better term) that uses a band clamp and fits over the air inlet on the filter housing and you can point it back towards the rad to keep out chaff and junk. I have one on both my tractors. Also works well in the winter to keep snow dust out of the air filter.
