Car Air Filters Cut Up To Fit Small Engines
Duane Hansen, Sheridan, Mich.: “I have a small acreage with several different buildings including our home, a rental house, a lake place, and different areas where we mow grass. As a result, I own about 10 different machines with small engines including riding mowers, ATV’s and rototillers. Air filters for the engines on these machines sell for $8 to $10 apiece, which gets expensive.
  “To save money, I got the idea to cut up new car air filters to fit all my small engines. I just measure the small engine filter, then use a metal shears to cut out a piece to fit and flatten it out. One car air filter is usually big enough to make 3 or 4 small engine filters. Sometimes the filter might be little short on each side, but as long as the air hole is covered that’s okay.
  “I’ve used this idea for 2 years.”
