Oil bath air breather follows up (Pic)

here are a couple pictures of my breather. The can part you could maybe put a gasket on but I’m not too sure it would fit against anything on the top part. First picture shows the top of the can, next is the base of the top and the last one shows the one that was on the tractor years ago when I bought it on the right of the picture with the replacement one.

You know, I'm still not sure on this one Larry.
That is very similar to one of mine, but mine does not have those grooves on the top.
Clamp is the same.
Maybe you could get a gasket in that outer groove that would set against the top half.
If you could, that would help it tighten up and not turn as you described.
It would be pretty easy to cut one out of a sheet of gasket material.
Sure wouldn't cost much to try.
If it works, you may have to adjust your carb slightly since it would no longer
be sucking air in from the sides. I doubt it would be a real issue though.
 
Thanks I think you are right it won’t heart to try. As for sucking les air I hadn’t thought of that but was going to rebuild the carburetor before plow days the third week of March. I was laid up for a while with health problems and it hasn’t been worked and you sure can tell by the way it runs even though The gas was off and I thought I ran it tell it stopped.
