hi, anyone tell me how to clean the airfilter on my tractor - I put in a new waterpump - had to grind off the retaining bolts and such to get at it - put new thermostat in (there wasnt one when I opened it up - is that usual ?) and then battled to get a new pulley belt that fitted - new one was slightly wider and so doesnt go down into the groove like the previous one -in other words every step is a baby one and i am learning as i go along.
however - I opened up the airfilter to give it a once over - it was full of oil - looks as if it is meant to be there - I googled oilfilter change and it did come up on a ford. thats my first question.
my second one is - how do you clean the wire filter - its full of grass and hay - steep it in petrol? power wash it? - that left me stumped - anyhows i decided to take a break from my amateur tractor mechanic work and went to rotovate my polytunnel with the tiller - she wouldnt start - mmmm best check the usual - came to the air filter - full of OIL AHHHHH!
any suggestions on either 1 or 2 above. thanks
