Can anyone tell me how to remove the air filter element on a 46 model A? I have tried to turn it, pull it, tap it, and shake it. It is full of water and oil and I would like to clean it. I am also changing all fluids. Anyone know how much engine oil, gear oil, and powertrol oil it will take? Thanks in advance for any help.

if your s/n is 499000 to 583999, the service manual lists the following capacities:
cooling system 9.25 gal
crankcase oil 9.25 qts
trans & diff 32 qts

if your s/n isn't in this range (but according to the year it should be) the capacities are different.

s/n 584000 and up are:
cooling 8.5 gals
crankcase oil 11 qts
trans & diff 27 qts

got this out of a service manual dated 1953. hope this helps.

Don't have the capacities handy but you will need somewhere near 8-10 quarts of oil for your crankcase and it seems like 3 or so gallons of gear oil for your transmission and rear end. The power trol I don't remember. On the rear end, make sure if you have mayonaisse back there that you drain what will drain from BOTH plug holes then use Diesel fuel or Kerosene to put in there and drive it down the road to the corner and back and drain that too. Then go back with your gear oil. Something tells me if you got water in your air cleaner, you might have some in your main case too.

Dave, by element are you talking about the wire mesh inside the filter canister? If so, it isn't made to be removable (at least easily).
~The complete filter can has to be unbolted from the air stack bracket & can then usually be cleaned while intact by hot tanking or flushing with solvent then hot soapy water from a power washer.
~If it is extremely plugged with mud & dirt & can't be cleaned, or hardened oil & dirt make it impossible to clean while intact, you can drill the spot welds out of the little tin retainer under the rim where the oil cup fastens then pull it apart to clean the mesh & interior. After cleaning you can either re-weld the retainer in or use small 3/32" pop rivets to re-install the retainer.
~I don't have a manual handy where I'm at right now so maybe someone that does can look up the fluid capacities for you. Or you can just fill the engine, trans & power-trol until the oil flows out the test cocks or oil level fittings & on the trans fill until even with the the fill plug hole.

Thanks Clooney, that helped a lot. At least I won't be trying to take something off that does'nt come off. I do need to get a manual. The JD dealer near me said he could order it. I read the posts here often and they are a big help. Thanks again

Dave:

I personally order my manuals direct from Deere.

Just have a credit card handy: 800-522-7448.

I don't have my catalog of manuals with me, but someone on here can even give you the part number of the manual. Get the parts manual for sure. It would have showed you just what had to come apart to remove tha tair cleaner. Also, you need the operator's manual which will describe how to tune it up and grease it up.

Good luck !
