The buying order should be: old filter number first, housing fit second, then cross-reference. Start with A171255, but do not ignore the a primary, outer and inner safety element setup.
What should I buy for a full Case IH 885XL air-filter service?

The engine info narrows the search, but serial range and market version can still change the air-cleaner setup.
