Oil Bath Cleaning 35MF

The screen in the bottom of the canister appears to be tack welded.

Do these disassemble in any way other than the bottom coming off for a normal cleaning?

For those of you who will appreciate it:

Last week I was able to buy the 35 MF my dad bought new in 1964. He lost his farm in the early '80's and it sold at auction (feeder steer guys had it rough back then). Since I had 2 kids, a wife messing around on me and was pretty much broke myself I could not afford it then (things have improved a lot since then-I am now blessed more than I am ever deserve.). This was the only tractor other than a cultivating tractor on a 160-acre cattle/tobacco/corn farm. I have spent many an hour on this little tractor.

I am like a little boy on Christmas morning even if it is in pretty rough shape.

Thanks, Greg

guess they improved things as time went on, but made it harder to clean.

As for the air cleaner, I could never get mine apart, so tossed them into a 5 gal can of diesel or varsol for a few days. That loosens the crud, and with sloshing around and some help from an air hose, they come out pretty clean.

That is what I will do.
