Generator and tiller

[mobilnissan1991]

Trying to figure out issues on my generator and tiller. The generator is a very old Yamaha EF2800, Im trying to find an air filter for it, I included a pic of the front of the engine, the airbox and the only sticker I found on the engine. Any help locating a filter would be great. Also pictured is the gearbox on my Troy Bilt Super Bronco tiller. Is it as simple as draining and refilling, and what kind of fluid does the gearbox require? Thanks

An ebay seller has an air filter for the generator: Yamaha EF2800 air filter

If you don't have the time or skill, have someone fabricate a new air filter housing that takes a common OPE filter. Looks like regular 75w-90 gear oil would work in the tiller.

These are some generic foam filters I've bought on Amazon for some of my equipment. They are 6 or 7 inches wide by 4 or 5 inches tall x about 1 inch thick. You could cut and splice to make it fit. When I was growing up long before Amazon and Wal Mart we would cut up the foam out of an old stadium cushion to make air filters.

I would make a foam filter.

If you use foam, make sure it is an OPEN CELL foam!

See https://support.troybilt.com/s/article/273-1?language=en_US for the recommendations from MTD. That being said, this thread on BITOG addresses the GL4 vs GL5 question. I've been topping mine up with 85w-140 GL5 for years.
