It gives the manufacturer from the first three digits - in this case
MTD. You may be able to get the filter from MTD or a MTD dealer. Google
has MTD sources.

OK, my guess on Tecumseh for ancient was off...

What engine did MTD use would be the question...does the list give it?
It should be available from any decent small engine service outfit in
any locality of any size one would think...

But, if the mower will even run, simply tapping and removing some of the
dirt is probably all that's needed for the immediate moment; the user
manuals and stickers all say only that air cleaner needs
cleaning/changing "when power drops". By that time, it visually is
generally going to be essentially to point can't find it, what more
think it's "dirty"...
