Ok, cut open a John Deere filter again, off my 110TLB (same filter used on most of the Yanmar engines (like my 110, 4600 and 997) Anyway, I opened on in the spring off my 997 mower and the several of the pleats were tore at the glue. Now I open one off my 110 and its the same deal! Now i'm a little concerned. Reading through Deere's filter propaganda, comparing theirs to others... maybe they should practice what they preach.
