Dare anybody to show me an older air filter

ReTex5 · Jun 21, 2022

So I have a ready cab on my JD 3010. The
blower in the top dash did not work when I
bought it.

But seeing as yesterday here in East Texas
it hit 102, I decided to see about fixing
it.

I drop the panel and pull out the filter
and to my amazement it is marked July
1968.

Is that something or what?

So I thought I would start this
conversation to see if anybody else has or
have found anything like this before.

So, did you tap it, blow it, or wash it?

Not quite that old but I bought my 6070 Allis new in '83 and have yet to change the cab filter; blow it out 2-3 times a year and motor on.......

Donaldsons--I used to work there years ago in Oelwein, Iowa--Had a lot of different jobs there but the best one that I had was the production painter. Painted thousands and thousands of air cleaners about every color in the rainbow. The guns were automatic and usually I could set them so I didn't have to touch anything up. Used to be big orders but most manufactures went to what they called on demand ordering-which met they would only order what they would use in a short time. I only used liquid paint but after I quit went to mostly to powder paint. That's All---Tee

Do you know when Donaldson became Donaldson turit?

After blowing it out for 1/2 hour and being engulfed in barley seed and dust, I said to heck with this.

I went down to the Napa and got a new one.

Probably gonna keep it though just cause it's kinda neat.

Don't you figure after 10-20 years there
would be dirt or particles that would not
come out, this straining the blower?

How so? I don't follow you.

Never heard of turit--Sorry--please explain---

Deterioration of the filter, there is only so much you can clean it.

Yeah I miss spelled it. Donaldson Torit, Torit was aquired by Donaldson in 1974.

They make industrial dust separators for wood shops and the like.
