BX Air Intake Disolved Platic/Rubber?

[milkman]

Saw this thread pop up again so I started looking again. I found the Evacuator Valve at several locations, from $8.95 to over $10 each and then shipping over $10.00, I need three of them and didn't want to spend that much on $.39 parts. I found this link so I ordered 4 of them for $18.36 and $6.99 shipping. Here's a link.

The one on the used BX2660 I bought had turned to chewing gum too. I bought a replacement from Messicks for $10.76 along with some other stuff.

Slightly related to the subject. I found a listing on Sears PartsDirect for gage wheels for my Husquvarna ZTR mower for $3.99 each, for genuine Husqvarna parts. Just about a dime over half price from other suppliers. Ordered two sets at that price. Shipping was $6.99. I believe Sears is using loss leaders to bring in customers, lest they go belly up. Shipping was amazingly fast.

Got my 4 evacuator valves and wrong size, they're too small, back to the drawing board. Part #TA040-93250 must be for the BX1500, sure doesn't fit the BX2200, ZD21 or RTV.


Edit: Best I can tell, the correct Kubota part # is K1211-82340 or Donaldson #P617632. The diameter of the part is 1.57"
