David Brown 885 air filter question

Just bought a 1979 David Brown 885/41 tractor. It has an inner and outer air filter in a canister between the radiator and the
grill. Guy I bought it from gave me manuals for a Case 380CK. Most everything looks the same except the air filter. Googling air
filter for a David Brown 885 always brings up the same information, which is part K922630. This is the wrong filter. Case dealer
also can't find the right one. My outer filter is 4 1/8" diameter and 11 1/8" long. The inner filter is 3" diameter. The outer
filter has 80085N stamped on it, but I can't cross reference it with anything else. Does anyone know how I can find the
replacement filter? The date on the one in there is Mar 1991, so it definitely needs to be replaced. Thanks
 
Look at Wix 46403 and 46341.

they are the filters for an 1190, which replaced the 885. dimensions are very similar to what you describe.

You may have a Johnny Cash 885, made of parts from different eras. All 885s I have come across, have a dry filter outside the hood, and an oil bath under the hood.
 
I thought about it being a Johnny Cash 885. The book shows the oil bath type but there's no hole in the hood....guess the hood
could be off of something else too though. The WIX 46341 inner filter should work for me, but the outer filter is almost an inch
bigger in diameter. There's a fin spiraling down the inside of the canister..Looks like it's welded but maybe I could remove it
somehow so this one would fit. Thanks.
 
Do you have any pictures of her? Does it have the normal rounded tin of a DB, or square? Diesel?

I recall rading that there were some 885s built for Iran that were shipped as skid units, no tin etc, maybe no air cleaners? as they would be sourced locally. Maybe this is what you have?, one that was intended for Iran and ended up here with no tin, and was finished with whatever was available...
 
The first pic shows how the housing fits between the radiator and the front grill. The second one shows how it swings out to
access the filters and the last one shows how the outer filter fits inside. The inner filter is K200380 which crosses with the Wix
46341 that you recommended but the 46403 is about 1" too big in diameter because of the fin inside of the canister.

That looks like a 380 to me, the industrial version of the 885.

normally, 380s have the air filter over the engine sticking out of the hood.
 
Does anyone know how I could cross reference filter 80085N or buy a filter from dimensions? It needs to be 4 1/8" OD, 3" ID and around 11 1/8" long. I am about out of ideas. Thanks
