Don't forget to look down inside the filter housing and remove any larger debris (like leaves). Good write up with pics!

Thank You!

Great post/photos.

It gave me the DIY courage to change out my air filter today too, and it really needed a new one.

The outer layer of foam rubber material was starting to crumble and the filter pleats looked really dirty.

Great writeup with nice pictures. Are you going to continue on and show us how to change the spark plugs and belt?

That worked great - I was also able to pick out all of the cigarette butts from the previous owner that got snagged at the bottom of air filter compartment.
