Friday Fabicating

Greetings Forum Chums!
The original box type oil bath air
cleaner was just
disintegrating...been soldering pin
holes for years...the spring steel
attachments have long since gone
bye bye.... Went to a local old
Ford bone yard in search of a
viable replacement....the owner
talked me into a later model
replacement... Made some
improvements and am quite happy
with the results!.... Anybody know
the vintage of the "new" oil bath
filter.... Just curious!

The word fabricating always gets my attention.
Looks like an 801 diesel?
Great tractor.
Yeah, I don't think the filter medium for the square box air cleaner on those is available any more. My pal Kenny adapted a round paper filter from a Toyota? forklift to work on his 841D.
I don't know when they changed from the square box to the round one.
You see the round one with the pipe up the side on the row crop models a lot.
Nice job Ed. Good, clean adaptation.
 
Thanks Dog..... The tractor is an 861D....regarding the media.... I had been using Chore Boy Steel pads for years.... A Brillow on steroids..... But alas..... The box and retainers just couldn't be serviced...... your buddy adapted a Toyota filter eh??..... Now that's impressive !!
 
I like it Ed, looks like a good solid solution.
I can't help with the filter ID though. :(
 
Dang it Lawson....I thought you knew everything!!
Yeah... Kinda bummed.... No Forum Chums with the
answer!!.....even Dell doesn't know...lol
 
"Dang it Lawson....I thought you knew everything!!"

LOL you've been listening to the wrong people!
If it is really a Ford element, the guys on the YT Ford
board that don't visit the YT N board may know.
Many of us bounce back and forth, but not all.
 
nice...good job
The size and shape looks like the filters on my little Deeres (M,420, 40T&S).
But the mounting bracket is in the wrong spot on the side.
Another later Deere perhaps
