It’s a Yamaha filter. FRAM, WIX/NAPA doesn’t have it listed anywhere. Put in the filter number and get no results.What filter is on it?
I run a 3614 or 3600(longer) fram ultra or tough gard on my kawasaki zero turn.

After a little more digging, it looks like the FRAM PH6017A or WIX 51358 will work.It’s a Yamaha filter. FRAM, WIX/NAPA doesn’t have it listed anywhere. Put in the filter number and get no results.
Tried that...she literally mowed once or twice in the past 16 years! And still says it is fine that i spend two hours mowing.Get her to mow once or twice.
Exactly. I started out with a 50” Toro ZTR for this property. It was a Time Cutter residential. It never gave a decent cut. The deck just couldn’t be leveled and it was too small. I traded for the Time Cutter HD 54”. It cut better but, it beat me to death. It also cut the mowing time by an hour. I knew there had to be something better out there and a true commercial mower would be the way to go. Also, the minimum recommended tire pressure is the best way to go.Looks like a great mower. I will look at them when I am ready for another.
My toro has no suspension seat and is beating me up.
My next zero turn will have a better seat and I will go from a 50 deck to at least a 60.
Yamaha was getting into that area before COVID. They took over Subaru small engines and built up the line.I live on 5 acres and have 3 to cut. I have a Ferris stand-on. Recently visited a dealer to get an air filter and was told Kawasaki can't keep up with the demand for engines because of Covid which has made other mower brands switch to other engine brands. So I'm guessing that explains the Yamaha? Cool.
I normally don’t have a lot of clippings on the drive or walkway. If there are any, I’ll blow them off with the mower.Something to think about. One thing I really like about my stand-on mower is that I throw on my backpack leaf blower and ride the mower while blowing grass clippings. I have a long concrete driveway.
Although I am just a homeowner, I have a Wright stander 36" for my half acre city lot that has a 4 gates, 2 fences and is split into chunks by flower beds. At the vaca place, I have a Ferris 61" ZTR and have 8 acres to mow there but it is mostly open except for about a half acre of trees that have been thinned out enough to circle the mower around them. As much as I like each mower in the environment they mow in, either would be miserable on the opposite property.Something to think about.

Wow, some actual innovation in the OPE engine space? 3 valve head? I had to look it up to believe it. Props to Yamaha for doing something outside of the box.It should be a little better on fuel consumption than the Toro branded Loncin engine. That thing was right at one gallon per hour. The Yamaha engine has hemispherical heads with 2 intake valves and 1 exhaust valve per cylinder. The Yamaha engine is much quieter. A fuel injected engine was not going to power any mower of mine.

I'm among those cheering on the transition from carburetors to fuel injection, but I understand the logic behind staying with what's tried and true.
I was wrong on the oil filters. After measuring the OEM Yamaha filter, I found some that will work. FRAM 4967 series. WIX WL 10239, NAPA 400239 and STP S4967.After a little more digging, it looks like the FRAM PH6017A or WIX 51358 will work.
