Hello all, I purchased a used L3301 recently and this weekend went to do a full filter and fluid change but struggled a bit with the fuel filter. I don't have a Kubota dealer close to me so I went with WIX and Napa filters that I purchased locally. The fuel filter that the guys at NAPA cross referenced for me was WIX WF10383 that matched the Kubota 1J80043170.

The WIX didn't seem to fit quite right, the threads were the same but it didn't seal very well like the dimensions on the case were a bit different. I didn't want to chance it so I put the old one back on and ordered an OEM filter online. I did a search for that particular WIX filter on the forum search and it came up empty. Just wondering if anyone here has had luck with that particular filter, or any other that might fit. I found a possible Fleetguard filter that this site says works https://www.filtersfortractors.com/kubota-l3901-l3301-filter-cross-reference-info/ No idea if it's accurate but it's a Fleetguard FF42110. I know the right answer is probably just stock up on Kubota filters next time I'm near a dealership lol.
Thanks in advance!

Don’t have an answer for your question…but if the NAPA guy gave you ”bum” info…I”d certainly demand a return for refund.

You might have better luck with the Fleetguard filters.
It has often been rumored that Fleetguard makes filters for Kubota.
