If it doesn't leak and when you start it it doesn't rattle like no oil at start up its fine. In the old days some cars came with short filters we put long ones on if headers made the oil filter not fit we would use a shorter one. On a lawn tractor find a filter that fits and fay 2.50 in place of the high priced ones from the lawn mower shop for10.00 or more
