I will be demonstrating how to replace airfilter, fuel filter, and spark plugs. This is a Hustler Raptor 52 inch with a Kawasaki FR691V residential engine.
It's a pre filter. Don't oil them if there is a paper filter under it. An old sock cut to size will do a great job as well. Fuel filter size is irrelevant if you are servicing to schedule. My mower has 1800 hrs. Look after it, and it will serve you well.
I put about 200 hours on it and it started having serious problems. This a residential zero turn it would never last over 1,000 hours. However, my exmark radius should have way more than 1,000 hours on it.
You mentioned that you were looking to get 300hrs out of the Zeroturn? And then what…? Are you saying that you think it might not last more than 300hrs or are you saying that you will just service it again at 300hrs?
The mower is rated for like 300 hours before major repairs. It is a Kawasaki but it is not a commercial engine. The engine on it is a residential engine so it doesn't have the durability of a commercial engine.
The FR series is indeed a commercial grade engine. Shares many of the same components and parts as does the FS and FX series minus the heavy duty air filtration. It is built for the residential and light duty commercial use. With proper maintenance, it should last a few thousand hours. Keeping the valve lash set properly every 3-400 hours and the cooling areas clean of major debris along with quality oil changes/products should net you good, long life. I'm breaking in my first FR series now myself.

It’s a sponge around the air filter. . I put a bit of oil on my hands and rub it into that sponge so it catches the fine dust.
Great video 👍

Did the rear tire come on there or did you do a upgrade?
It came like that!
So what’s the gap

Good Job, do you want a job in ND?
Lol I don’t think I could move that far !!
How do you know when u reach 100 hrs.
I installed a after market hour meter when I first purchased the zero turn. It’s really simple to do it’s already wired for one. They are like $15!
