I dont know the fram filter part number but you are brave to use one. I can give you the JD part number to cross. AM107423 is the deere number. Kawasaki number 49065-2078 and 49065-2071.

Yep Ive done seen them cook a few motors due to coming apart on the inside and restricting oil flow.

Same here. Ive never heard of anyone having problems using one on a grocery getter but Im not brave enough myself to run one. I can also get you the NAPA gold number (Wix filter) for it to if you need it mowerman. I have the box that one came in out in my shop with the number on it.

And I have pulled the cylinder heads off of about 7 or so GM 3.6's for the oil filters blowing apart and plugging up the oil passage to the valvetrain. It is real small through the head gasket there.
I recall  the filters on them were Napa (wix), Car-quest (wix), Purolator, and Pennzoil...I work on engines all day, and there is not much of anything or any brand I have not seen fail at some point.
But, everyone has their own viewpoint, and thats what makes the world go round.

That is what is funny. The guys bashing filters don't know there are only 3 or 4 companys making filters.


Painting it what color the manufacture wants.

I run "Gold guard" filters on my BP.   


The same company builds filters for some big name company's.   Get them for less then $1 each.   And are built to better specs than the name brand filter they are making.

I got the number from  the parts house thanks for all the input I've never had problems with one  before I run the gram extra guard on my super sportsman and on all my vehicles but I change the one on the vtwin every two races when  I change the oil maybe that's why but ill  run this one one here and then change it in a few weeks

I bought three Fram - Kawasaki replacements, pretty cheap (Under 5 bucks at Advanve Auto)  and never used them(Scared to).....add this solidify my fears........
Same story, Last Year, a guy at work dropped a new engine in his late model dirt track racer, could not get oil pressure. After a week, he "accidentally " found the the brand new Fram filter had come apart, and blocked oil flow.
He loves that new purple power oil......buys it by the gallon, guess I might have to check into that stuff

Funny how a guy can speak from losing his own engines and then be told he "doesnt know" what he is talking about...sure, somebody has had failures out of something at least once. But multiples of the same thing?? That oughta tell ya somethin! And personally, I will stick to my Wix/Napa Gold whatever you wanna call it.
