I have an 861 Diesel that has what I think is the older style of air intake. It has the airbox that attached to the bottom of the intake manifold, then a tube that goes up above the side of hood with a precleaner. My question is on the airbox. Is there supposed to be any filter material in the box? What type of material is it? Can this material be replaced? Does anyone know where to buy it? Anyone have a one in decent shape or the tube from the airbox up to the cleaner? Any help or suggestions I would appreciate. Thanks.

Thanks for you help guys. My filter does have the "steel wool" filter material in it, but it was laying loose in there with a larger size screen at the bottom and the top. But like I said it was just laying in there. The filter material needs replaced. If you shake it gentle or bump it, small pieces of it shake out. I don't want to suck that up in a fresh rebuild. It's a rectangular shape and all I can find is the round premade elements.

Yes, besides the oil there should be what folks call the wool filter that is up in the big box not in the tray where the oil goes. I believe you can get some from this site or it is available at other sites. I believe you will have to cut out the small screen at the bottom. I was carful on mine so that I could rebraze it in. just roll it up and stuff it in there. I believe that there is a replacement to a newer type of filter but I wanted to keep mine more original. Good Luck,
Kent

Is there supposed to be any filter material in the box?
YES

What type of material is it?

ENGINE OIL

Can this material be replaced?

YES owners manual says every 8 hrs but most let it go a lot longer. Like every time they change the engine oil.

Does anyone know where to buy it?

Walmart; auto parts store ect

That system is a oil bath air cleaner. Take it apart; clean it out real good and fill with normal engine oil to the line you see in the box.

Might also want to get you a owners; parts; and service manual for your tractor. Will help you out a lot. Come over to the Ford board on this site and we can give you links to copies you need.
