Which one of those oli filters fits the Kohler 22HP engines on a Cub Cadet 42" cut lawn tractors ?......
I don't want to pay 12-14 bucks for a Kohler filter for it if something else fits it and works as good....
 
The Super Tech ST3614, pretty much the same thing as all the OEM filters on small engines used on lawn tractors it just cost about a 4th as much since it doesn't have Kohler, Briggs, Kawasaki, John Deere, etc name printed on it.
 
Fram 3600 if you have room.
In general I wouldn't use a larger filter on a small engine, they tend to mount the filters in ways that if the filter does drain back it could significantly overfill the sump in a small engine, a 3614 is already a big filter on a small engine.
 
As long as your mower takes the 1205001S filter, this is the Purolator cross reference.

Stock size (X-Small) - L35310
Small - L10241
Medium - L20195
Large - L30001
X-Large - L40017
 
Some lawn tractors don't have much room under the hood/engine cover for a longer filter

Wix and Fram have crossreferences.... Wix 51056 and Fram PH8172

If there is room, I'd use the '3614' sized filters. Its a little more than 1/2" longer, similar diameter. Hard to beat the Walmart MP3614 for $5.90!

In general, I'd use the largest filter that'll fit. These common 3/4-16 thread small engine filters have anti drainback valves. Pick one with a silicone ADBV. Overfilled sump from drainback is fear scare and nothing to worry about.
 
The 3614 size filter is popular with some commercial mower companies. It's the first oversize
and inexpensive at Wal-mart. The orange PH series is equal in efficiency to factory filters and
Fram has several 'better' quality if you prefer. Even the SuperTech 3614 is decent filter for
OPE use.

The oil filter # KH-12-050-01-S...
Thanks, the other posters are correct that you can use a Fram 3614-sized filter, Motorcraft FL-910s, or, you want to use a lookup tool for other brands, your mower uses the same size filter as a 2019 Ford Mustang with a 2.3 ecoboost

Late to the party, but my Cub Cadet also has the 22HP Kohler and space is a concern. I've found a Baldwin B7165 fits nicely with the close steering rods.

They're $7.45 on Rock Auto Right now.

Your typical 3614 type filter is too long to fit. It might seem it does, but mow a couple times and you'll dent or rub the filter.

The thread on all tractors and zero-turns is 3/4-16, that Ford has been using since 1957.
Therefore, any filter that fits a Ford engine will fit on a Briggs/Kohler/Kawasaki engine.
Room for larger filters is, of course, the issue. The Fram 3614 is the usual oversize filter but there are
shorter filters.

Last year, when I changed the oil and filter I used a Fram PH 3614, this was a short filter fits well on mine, I was wondering if the Fram filters are good for these mowers, because I have heard stories about the filter inside of them was junk.......you no how it is, you hear everything about this kinda stuff...mostly, like to use a filter that's not going to fall apart or cause a problem......have always used Fram filters on all my vehicles until a few years ago.....

If they work on cars then they should work on lawn mowers, right? Personally I prefer the Fram Tough Guard for its higher filtering efficiency, but then I doubt any us might ever notice a difference in homeowner OPE applications. Commercial operators running their machines 50 hours per week in peak season might see some benefit using a premium filter, but I doubt the typical homeowner will.
