John Deere Filter Kit LG256 for X300 Series (Kawasaki FH491V) — OEM oil, fuel & air filters with spark plugs and 2 qt oil

John Deere Original Equipment Filter Kit #LG256 is a complete OEM maintenance set with oil, fuel and air filters, spark plugs, and 2 quarts of engine oil designed specifically for X300-series mowers powered by the Kawasaki FH491V engine.

If you service your own lawn tractor, this LG256 kit saves time by bundling all factory-recommended consumables into one package. It includes the exact John Deere part numbers for oil, fuel and air filtration plus two spark plugs and oil — everything you need for a routine tune-up on compatible X300 models that use the Kawasaki FH491V motor. Note: this kit is engine-specific and will not fit X300-series machines with other Kawasaki engine markings.

This kit is intended only for John Deere X300, X300R and X304 mowers equipped with the Kawasaki FH491V engine marking. If your mower has a different Kawasaki model number such as FS541V or FS600V, choose the LG265 kit instead.
