No matter at all. The Wix air filters, fuel filter, and oil filters I identified from the Wix site for my 4500Z were also available from Amazon. Drop shipping from Ventrac at full retail plus shipping, or a modest discount and free shipping from Amazon. I use the rear discharge contour mower and it is tough on that outer air filter, not to mention the radiator grid.
I didn't realize they were available on amazon. I found them there after I realized what the part number was. I originally looked for wix distributors near me and was going to go that route when I had the time. The only reason I'm asking about the air filters is I opened up the cleaner and there was a bunch of debris in there. I shook off the outter but want to have one on hand. I like to have back ups. And back ups of back ups. I absolutely HATE not having something that I need. If I can get some extra belts for the 2 mowers I'm going to get them as well. I figure it would be easy enough to take the ones that are on them into napa and match them up. I already have one spare tire and will probably add another one.
Anything anyone can think of that would be good to have on hand, in open to suggestions. I love back ups.
