Ford industrial diesel engine

Forum,
Looking at an older Pettibone Skidder with a Ford industrial diesel.Question is there is a part of the manifold I have not seen before. Attached under the manifold is a cast iron box with a cone shaped screen at one end. What is the cone? Is it for spraying in ether? Any and all thoughts are welcome.

What Ford industrial diesel is it? 3 or 4 cylinder? The 1958 4 cylinder diesel engine had a box between the manifold and air breather.

Indford,
Thanks for the reply. Will find out tomorrow if it is a 3 or 4 cylinder engine. Will let you know specifics.

If it's a four cylinder, it could be either the American Ford Diesel or the British Fordson diesel.
 
Or it could also be one of the English Ford Dorset industrials. The 4-cylinder was a 254, and there were also 363 and 380 6-cylinders, and a 363 turbo.
 
Forum,
Looked at the Pettibone today. It has a 4 cylinder Ford industrial diesel engine. Looked at the manifold and the cast iron box appears to be a oil bath air cleaner. At one end is a cone shaped screened air intake opening. Curious about the age of this engine? Any and all thoughts are welcome.
