Mobility Big Dipper air cleaner

2SteveWI · Feb 12, 2020

Have a Mobility Big Dipper loader that has a Ford 172 gas engine in a power unit frame. This unit spent many years in a fertilizer plant so it is pretty rusty. Recently tuned up the engine and found the oil bath air cleaner was rusted out. This is the same air cleaner shown on pictures of a Ford power unit. Does anyone have a good used air cleaner or know of a source ? Picture attached. Thanks Steve

Is it just the bottom bowl that's rusted out (pretty common) or the whole air cleaner?

The cup is fine. The side of the main body is rusted out near where the bands held it. Thanks Steve.

"The side of the main body is rusted out near where the bands held it."

That should be an EASY repair

Clean it up and "butter" some 50/50 solder over the rust pits, filling any BIG holes in with a fitted piece of sheet steel as needed.

Quite a few replacement offerings on the web, amazon, ebay and the rest.
Perhaps the willys jeep one the most common.

Then again absent the need to use oilbath I'd imagine dry element housings are pretty common too, both used and new.
