craftsman 420cc model 29000 oil filter replacement

Was wondering if anyone has found an oil filter replacement for the Craftsman oil filter 951-12690 2 1/10" hgt. Purolator said that the L10241 would work, but it seems too long.

Thanks

    I take the old filter to a auto parts store and buy one that matches it, in size and length. The owner of the store sez it will work, and i trust his knowlege. Haven't had a blown up engine, yet. Works fer me! Rusty J.

    WIX makes NAPA Gold and CarQuest Blue filters. (identical except for the paint job)
    For a NAPA filter, use the last 4 digits of the Wix#
    For a CarQuest filter, replace the first 2 digits of the Wix# with 85
    Example. Wix 51348 becomes CarQuest 85348 or NAPA Gold 1348

    ***" it seems too long"***
    If there is physical space for the longer filter to fit, the extra length DOES NOT MATTER.
    I can give you a few filter numbers but I don't know if they will work for your engine because you haven't stated what engine you have.
    If you will post the engine model number and/or the Sears technical model number of the TRACTOR (find it under the tilting seat), we may be able to give you an accurate part number of a filter that will work.

    Mownie,

    model is 247.290000, the engine is 420cc like I mentioned in my posting.

    There is only so much space due to the angle of the filter mounting. OEM filter is 2 1/10". If filter is 3 1/4 " long, it will hit the rear tire. 2" to 2 3/4" would work.

    thanks

    2.3" is less than 2-3/4"!

    Bill, Yes I know, just giving the range that the tractor can handle. Really appreciate the help you all have given me. Hate to pay the rip-off price that Sears wants ($11.00).

    thanks again

    The Wix 57035 does not fit this tractor. The diameter of the filter is to large.

    I use Briggs 696854. Sears sometimes has the right one and one for a Honda will work too.

    You can order MTD 951-12690 filter from Amazon $11.00 each & $5.95 shipping. I ordered 2 and only paid 1 shipping charge. Beats running around guessing.........

    I have the 420cc engine and use the Fram filter it's a little larger so I just bent the frame down with a adjustable wrench , no problem , the Fram filter on sale at auto Zone $ 2.99
