There is a poping noise comming from the air cleaner. I took the cover off the top to find a piece of steel wool. What does this do? The oil in the bottom looked like it should be changed. Do i use regular motor oil.
Thanks Doug

i have a 1949 to 20. use a thick oil like 15w40 because it catches loose debrie that comes in the air intake. the thicker oil seemes to do better.

The oil in the air cleaner is the same as the engine oil, the steel wool helps to clean the air. The oil should be changed daily and maybe twice daily in dusty conditions. If, as I think, no maintenance has been carried out on the air cleaner for some time, the whole thing should be removed and thoroughly cleaned and refitted. The popping noise could be a valve on its way out, you could check the valve clearances to see if it is a matter of adjustment.

What should the valve clearances be? The motor is a standard motors eng. I'm going to take the valve cover of and see what condition they are in.

The air goes in at the top, down the centre, through the oil, and then up the sides through the steel wool.
In operation most of the oil is drawn part way up into the steel wool, and then it settles down in the bottom once you shut the tractor off.
If you remove the bottom part it is clearly marked as to what the oil level should be.
