TS1610 gl/glf

Hey folks, could someone tell me what the GL/GLF stand for in these models?
Could someone give me the OEM air filter number please for a TS1610.

I don't know about OEM but I use WIX 46326. I think you might have to do a little customizing , nothing complicated.

According to my Bolens service manual for their equivalent models in the TS1910 models, there are four model "types":

GE = standard 2-WD
GBE = 2-WD w/ large capacity hydraulic pump
GLFE = 4-WD w/ creep speed
GLFBE = 4-WD w/ large capacity hydraulic pump and creep speed

I bought 2 from a defunct Bolens dealer on Ebay, he still has one listed there. http://cgi.ebay.com/BOLENS-ISEKI-AIR-FILTER-FOR-15-17HP-2-CYL-DIESEL_W0QQitemZ3984867202QQcategoryZ88437QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
BTW, he is asking $30, but I offered him $10 each and he took it. Or you can get the measurements off this add and find your own. When I got my 1610 it came with a fram filter, but I could not read the numbers on it, but the fram was exactly the same.

Thanks Joe, What he has is not the same one I took off my tractor. The one I originally had was 9 1/2 inches long and the fins were oriented in the other direction and all Japanese writing without recognizable numbers. I could not find an exact replacement for it around here but read that someone on the web is offering them for $60. Well, I'm not paying that so I went out and bought a fram CAK530 for $8.55 ,which is the exact same thing that dealer is selling on eBay for $30. It has the same 100CFM flow that the original had it's just shorter, so I made an adapter for it and now the filters are easy and $ reasonable $ to get.
