I guess the only consoling thing is that these filters are probably quite rare and "collectible" today. Most operators would have scratched their heads at them and either thrown them to the trash long ago in order to fit a newer model or aftermarket canister, or got cranky with it and cut the top off it. Guess I should put it on ebay as one of those (capital, bold lettering) RARE items and watch the bids roll in. Haha! I couldn't be bothered but will put it away. A good display item for a "museum of early technical mower goofs".
