The original equipment manufacturer on these is the Farr product. Racor owns Farr. The other parts you list are Farr private brands. While not on your list, Fleetguard has a Farr-made replacement. The biggest issue with most MHs that use this air cleaner is that it is too small for the air flow ability of the Cat and Cummins engines. This means the filter life is shorter and generally has higher initial restriction plus dust bypass occurs because of the high air flow. Change the filter based on restriction gauge reading. Better restriction gauges like the Filter Minder by Engineered Products of Waterloo, IA will show the steady increase in restriction thus helping you to determine when to change the filter. CAT and other engine companies are on the page that 25" is the target for change out but changing at 20 - 22" is very acceptable.
