| Primary filter note | For the Case IH Puma 230, the listed primary air filter part number is 84386403. Match the number before buying because air cleaner setups can vary by engine, serial range and market. |
| Outer filter note | The listed outer air filter part number is 87726675. |

| Fitment note | Listed dimensions: Outside diameter: 133 mm | Inside diameter: 76 mm. Use dimensions as a second check, not as the only buying method. |
| Filter size note | The listed dimensions point to a normal outside diameter at 5.2 in. Use that as a fitment sanity check against the old filter. |
| Power range note | This is a higher-airflow class, so restriction matters fast. If it is working in dust, inspect before the 500-hour planning mark instead of waiting for visible power loss. |
| Service note | Clean loose dust from the air cleaner housing before pulling the filter. Never run the tractor with the filter removed, even for a quick test. |
Case IH Puma 230 Air Filter FAQs
Why should I compare the old Case IH Puma 230 filter before buying?
Use 84386403 as the anchor number, then verify the old element and housing label. This is a straight numeric OEM-style number, and the setup looks like a primary, outer and inner safety element setup, so one loose search result is not enough. Use the listed dimension as a sanity check, but still verify the seal and end-cap style.
Is the Case IH Puma 230 air filter a one-part or multi-part service?
For a full parts check, separate the service element from the safety element: buy the outer/primary service element first, then buy the inner safety element only if it is dirty, damaged or due. Do not accidentally order 87726675 when you meant the safety filter, or A171255 when you meant the outer filter.
Should I trust Case IH Puma 230 air-filter dimensions or the part number?
A single measurement can catch a wildly wrong filter, but it cannot prove the seal. You still need the end-cap and gasket style to match.
Why does airflow matter on the Case IH Puma 230 air filter?
This is a higher-airflow class, so restriction matters fast. If it is working in dust, inspect before the 500-hour planning mark instead of waiting for visible power loss.
Is the Case IH Puma 230 outer filter the same as the primary filter?
The presence of both outer and inner numbers means you should order carefully. A kit can be convenient, but only if it contains the correct service element and safety element.
Why does the full Case IH Puma 230 air-filter number matter?
When there are several part numbers, do not search them all in one cart and hope. Label each one as primary, outer or safety before buying.
Does the Case IH Puma 230 engine setup affect air filter fitment?
A 231 hp engine class needs clean airflow under load. That matters for service timing, but the old filter still decides what fits.
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 caseih.com website before ordering or installing an air filter.
