The Dual Element filter kit has been changed. The supplier of our previous version has upgraded their product to this new one.
As recommended by Kubota, the dual element filters should be used in high dust, high temperature or high humidity situations. This new style of filter assembly should be used in the same way as the previous versions.
The change impacts all models with dual element filters fitted i.e. MY, DW and Scandinavian units.
Kits S1-37295 (engine mounted version) and S1-37526 (externally mounted and side mount engine version) replace kit S1-29987 (old generic version)
New filter elements part numbers: S1-37298 (Outer), S1-37299 (Inner)
As a whole unit, the new dual element filter can replace old type. However, new filter elements cannot be used in old style and vice-versa.
Fitting instructions are in Service Info K0002
The new assembly has the benefit of being more compact than the prior version, whilst still offering the same degree of filtering effectiveness.
The body of the new filter is a robust plastic material which is not susceptible to corrosion as the previous steel bodied version was.
