Kohler 7000 Series Oil Filter, Air Filter & Fuel Filter: Parts Guide

Kohler's 7000 Series V-twins (KT715, KT725, KT735 and others) power a huge number of residential zero-turns and lawn tractors. For routine service you need a Kohler 52 050 02-S oil filter $13.58, the right 32 083-series air filter for your model, and a 24 050 13-S fuel filter $15.79.

Quick reference

Kohler 7000 Series oil filter: 52 050 02-S

The 7000 Series uses Kohler oil filter 52 050 02-S. It's one of the most-installed oil filters from our service department's repair records: it appears on dozens of zero-turn repair orders, including Walker, Toro Titan and Z Master work. Some older Kohler Command engines use the larger 12 050 01-S $16.91 instead, so if you run both families, check which one is on the engine before ordering.

Kohler 7000 Series air filter

The 7000 Series uses a 32 083-series panel or canister element, and the exact number depends on the engine model. The two we sell most are 32 083 03-S $31.77 and 32 083 09-S $23.25, with the 32 083 05-S $11.76 foam pre-cleaner on engines that use one. Read the full engine model and spec from the blower housing decal and match it before buying.

Fuel filter: 24 050 13-S

Kohler's 24 050 13-S is the fuel filter we install most on Kohler-powered mowers — 61 Walker repair orders alone from our service department's repair records. A universal replacement like the Rotary 13115 $7.66 (replaces Kohler 25 050-series filters) is the inline filter we install most across all zero-turns, at 93 repair orders.

Oil for Kohler 7000 Series engines

Follow your operator's manual for grade. Kohler 10W-30 synthetic blend is the oil we pour most in our shop — 112 Walker repair orders and 62 TimeCutter orders from our service department's repair records. Kohler SAE 30 is common for warm-weather-only use.

Kohler 7000 parts on Toro TimeCutter and Titan

Toro sells Kohler-engine filters under Toro numbers on many TimeCutter and Titan models: 136-7848 oil filter $20.45 (the single most-installed part on TimeCutters in our records, 85 repair orders), the 136-7806 air filter kit $26.06 and the 139-0717 fuel filter $24.81. See the TimeCutter parts guide.

Kohler 7000 service checklist

1. Drain oil; replace the 52 050 02-S filter (oil the gasket).
2. Refill with the grade in your manual.
3. Replace the air filter and pre-cleaner.
4. Replace the fuel filter; check fuel lines and the pump pulse line.
5. Replace spark plugs per Kohler's spec for your model.
6. Clean debris from the blower housing screen and cooling fins.

Which Kohler 7000 do I have?

The 7000 Series includes single and twin cylinder models such as the KT715, KT725, KT730, KT735, KT740 and KT745. The model and spec are printed on the engine's blower housing decal. Filters are shared widely across the series, but air cleaner styles changed, so the air filter is the part to confirm.

Symptoms and likely parts

• Won't start after storage: stale fuel and a varnished carb — fresh fuel, new fuel filter, then carb service.
• Runs, then dies in heavy grass: fuel filter or fuel pump.
• Smoking and losing power: air filter and oil level — an overfilled crankcase smokes too.
• Running hot or pinging: clogged cooling fins under the blower housing.

Common mistakes

• Using a 12 050 01-S where a 52 050 02-S belongs (or the reverse). Check before you buy.
• Ignoring the pre-cleaner. A clean foam pre-cleaner makes the paper element last much longer.
• Skipping the fuel filter because the mower "runs fine" — it's a $16 part that prevents a carb job.
