Great advice! I've just purchased two Wix 51348 filters for about the same cost as one OEM filter for my John Deere D140 lawn tractor. A colleague asked why I didn't order four, to which I replied,
"According to this famous Irish fellow named Murphy, the filter will fit perfectly if I buy only one, but probably won't fit if I buy four."
BTW - Murphy was an optimist. Actual results should be available in six weeks...

Used to use the old L20195s off of my ford ranger 2.3l 2005...
Or whatever was on the truck after changing my oil. Normally I correlated it together.
Yes, a used filter off my truck. The deck of the mower wore out before the engine did. As did the plastics and the ignition key switch.
Tractor still runs too. A lot of bondo on tanks and starting with a screwdriver.
The mower itself was replaced. Its more of a hauling tractor now as the zero turn that replaced it is the primary mower.
Oh, and the truck always took 4 QTS. The mower always got a dose of a mystery bottle (old QSHM BOTTLE) whatever was left over was thrown in the bottle, over time it probably has a mix of everything from 0w20 to 10w40 in there.
Think last time I was home it got a FL400s off the truck on it.
Obviously it was done immediately after the oil change on the truck was. I wouldnt put a used filter sitting on a shelf in the humidity for a long period of time.
Most Briggs filters are rebadged Champs.

I use car filters instead of mower filters too.
The spec'd WIX filter for the little Kubotas is $12.50 and $2.50 more than a Genuine Kubota filter. It is so small and just has a nitrile ADBV. The Kubota filter is about the size of a 6609. It has a Microgard (Napa Silver) right now. When I service both of them this spring, they'll get either a WIX or Fram whatever.
The big guy's spec'd filter isnt any more expensive, it just has to be ordered. Ironically, it can take the same filter as my Jeep and has a M1-204 that has been in service for almost 2 years with some M1 TDT.
