AM125424 Cross Reference: 7 Compatible Oil Filters for John Deere Equipment
Looking up an AM125424 cross reference is a common step for anyone sourcing replacement oil filters for John Deere lawn and garden equipment — whether you’re a distributor stocking multiple brands, a dealer fielding customer questions, or a workshop trying to match a filter to what’s actually available on the shelf.
The AM125424 is one of the most widely used spin-on oil filters across John Deere’s compact tractor, zero-turn mower, and utility vehicle lineup, and it’s cross-referenced to several equivalent part numbers from other manufacturers. Here’s a breakdown of seven compatible filters and how they relate to each other.
1. AM125424C
This is the closest relative to AM125424 in John Deere’s own numbering — the two are commonly cross-referenced together as the same filter specification, with only minor labeling differences between them depending on the parts catalog revision. If you’re sourcing bulk inventory, confirm which specific suffix matches your customers’ equipment documentation, since the underlying specification is the same either way.
2. AM39687
Another John Deere-branded part number that cross-references to the same filter, AM39687 sometimes appears on older parts diagrams or in service manuals predating the more commonly used AM125424 designation. Functionally, it’s the same filter.
3. AM119567
AM119567 is a further John Deere cross-reference that shows up in some equipment documentation, again referring to the same underlying oil filter specification. Having multiple internal John Deere numbers for the same physical filter is common when a part has been in production across many years and equipment generations.
4. LG4153
LG4153 is one of the John Deere-branded cross-reference numbers associated with this filter family, occasionally appearing in older parts catalogs or on legacy equipment documentation.
5. LG492932S
Similarly, LG492932S is another John Deere cross-reference number tied to the same filter specification. As with LG4153, this number is more likely to appear on older equipment records than on current parts lookups.
6. GY20577 (Kawasaki)
Because many John Deere lawn and garden products use Kawasaki engines, GY20577 is the Kawasaki-branded equivalent to AM125424, along with related Kawasaki numbers 49065-0721 and 49065-7007. If you’re sourcing filters specifically for Kawasaki-powered John Deere equipment, this is often the number that shows up on the engine’s own parts documentation rather than John Deere’s.
7. 696854 (Briggs & Stratton)
For John Deere equipment built around Briggs & Stratton engines, 696854 is the cross-referenced equivalent. As with the Kawasaki number above, this reflects the fact that John Deere sources engines from multiple manufacturers across its lawn and garden lineup, and the “correct” filter number can depend on which engine brand is actually under the hood — not just which John Deere model the equipment is.
Why So Many Numbers for One Filter?
It might seem excessive for a single filter specification to have seven or more valid part numbers, but this is normal in the equipment parts world for a few reasons:
- Engine brand differences: John Deere sources engines from Kawasaki, Briggs & Stratton, and other manufacturers, and each engine maker typically has its own part numbering system even for a shared filter design
- Catalog revisions over time: as parts catalogs get updated across decades of production, older numbers sometimes stay in circulation on legacy documentation even after a newer number becomes the primary reference
- Multi-brand sourcing: distributors and dealers often need to match whichever number appears on a specific piece of equipment’s documentation, which might reference the engine manufacturer’s number rather than John Deere’s
What This Means for Distributors and Dealers
If you’re stocking replacement filters, understanding this full cross-reference list matters for a few practical reasons. Customers searching for a filter might use any of these seven numbers depending on which documentation they’re looking at — their equipment’s original manual, an engine service guide, or a parts lookup tool. Being able to confirm a single filter covers all of these numbers helps you serve a wider range of customer inquiries without stocking what looks like seven different products.
It’s worth confirming with any supplier that they’ve independently verified these cross-reference numbers — through dimensional testing against genuine samples, not just copying a list from another retailer — since incorrect cross-reference data can lead to fitment issues down the line. As this guide to filter cross-referencing points out, a trustworthy cross-reference should confirm performance specs like micron rating and sealing dimensions, not just match a part number on paper.
