Fitment note
Listed dimensions: Length: 11.5 in | Outside diameter: 6.5 in | Inside diameter: 3 in. Use dimensions as a second check, not as the only buying method.
Filter size note
The listed dimensions point to a mid-size element length at 11.5 in and normal outside diameter at 6.5 in. Use that as a fitment sanity check against the old filter.

Massey Ferguson 1740E Air Filter FAQs
What should I buy for a full Massey Ferguson 1740E air-filter service?
For normal service, the primary/outer element is the one that does the dirty work. The inner safety element is backup protection, so replace it less often and keep it seated while cleaning the housing.
What should I check before ordering a Massey Ferguson 1740E air filter?
The safest match is not just the printed number. Use 7068069M1, then check whether the element seats fully without forcing the cover. The outer listing matching the primary means you probably do not need to buy two different outer elements.
Why compare Massey Ferguson 1740E horsepower with filter dimensions?
Comparing power and element size helps catch bad cross-references. A tiny replacement for a harder-working engine should make you suspicious before installing it.
Are the Massey Ferguson 1740E air filter dimensions enough to buy from?
Because the element has listed length, OD and ID, measure the old filter the same way. Do not compare one seller’s overall height to another seller’s gasket-to-gasket length without checking the drawing.
How do I avoid mixing up Massey Ferguson 1740E outer and safety filters?
In this listing, the outer and primary filter appear to be the same service element. That means the main outer element is the one you replace first while the inner safety element stays protected.
Does engine power change how I service the Massey Ferguson 1740E air filter?
With a 40 hp engine class, the listed element size is generous for the power class, so fit/seal checks matter more than chasing a bigger filter. Watch for weak pull, smoke or heat under load before waiting for the full 300-hour guide.
Can I ignore letters or suffixes in the Massey Ferguson 1740E filter number?
The primary number looks like a Massey-style M-suffix number. That does not make it automatically correct, but it helps you spot obvious nonsense numbers in search results.
Official information note
Mistakes do happen. Air filter specs can change by year, engine, serial range, market and air cleaner housing. Check the old filter, operator manual, parts book and official masseyferguson.com website before ordering or installing an air filter.
