I'm using one of their carbs on the 91' John Deere. The fuel shut off went bad after only 10 hours & they sent me a link to buy a replacement for it. Overall I'm still happy with the price of it. Do you plan to cut this oil filter after use?
 
For $9 + tax, you'd be better off going to WM and getting a brand name filter.
Maybe it's not obvious from the install picture, but there is really only room for s really short like 2" tall filter there. If I were to use a taller filter I would have to remove the wheel to remove and install it, plus I would be risking the tire hitting the filter, or debris on the tire scraping across the filter.

Not really, even though I probably should. There is a general lack of filter analysis for lawn mower / small engine specific applications anywhere on the internet (as far as I can tell). I figure I am doing at least something by posting the pictures of this one.
 
HIPA is one of the more well known chinese brands, I've had success with various parts but I still prefer a name brand oil filter.
The general impression (so far) I got from handling this filter is that it's perfectly fine and I would buy it again. The fact that HIPA is one of the more well known brands was one of the reasons I bought this one yes.

I show a 28% coupon on the link.
 
I appreciated the fact that they provide you with a cutaway and specs right on the Amazon page. Most of the time you never know WHAT'S inside. And finding efficiency ratings for most filters is impossible. The build quality and attention to detail in the Asian filters has been quite good. Would prefer some more goodies like a silicone ADBV and enhanced or synthetic media, but I definitely wouldn't lose sleep with a Hipa filter on a lawn tractor.

Just took delivery today of a 4-pack of Hipa 07-0694 filters. What I noticed immediately was that the filters are perceptively heavier than their Kohler or Briggs counterparts of the same size. I was also appreciative of more steps the seller/shipper did to protect the filters in transit than when I received some Briggs 842921 filters a while back.

Following up from prior, the filters came with their boxes which then were placed inside another cardboard box which had a plastic air pillow to cushion them. These were then placed in an Amazon shipper. When I took shipment of some Briggs 842921 filters a while back, the filters were just dropped in a plastic shipper and off they went. No box, no bubble wrap. No nothing. Fortunately, they still got to me undamaged anyway.

With zinc-plated metal endcaps, these filters are certainly an upgrade to their Kohler 12 050 01S or Briggs 492932 counterparts and cost just $6.00. They also appears to be every bit the equal of the Wix 51056 or Fram 8170, and probably superior while selling for a lot less. Without cutting one open (which I will do AFTER use), I can only presume that these filters are probably without the sloppy gluing and other quality control issues that have seemed to plague North American manufacturers in recent years.

Also appreciated was the full plastic shrink wrap treatment each filter gets to prevent moisture and rust formation before use.

While I would have liked to have the option of such bells and whistles like a silicone ADBV and enhanced or synthetic filter media, when you change the filter out every 50 hours, what's in there now will hold up just fine.
