Air filter system for 1972 Ford 2000 gasoline

[Bobby R]

I recently purchased a 3 cylinder gasoline Ford 2000 and it is missing the air filter system. I am wondering where I can find a used one from a parts tractor or somewhere. I need the complete system from where it attaches to the carb on. The tractor has about a 5 inch hole in the left side of the hood where I assume part of the air filter fits through. I assume the rest of it is rubber or metal duct from the carb to the filter housing going through the hood.
I would also like some information of a power steering kit for this same tractor, or maybe a power steering system from a parts tractor that will work on it.
Any help or information will be appreciated.

I see a shameful amount of heavy trucks sent to the scrapyard. I think you could find a working air filter system easy there, even a small diesel's system likely would be overkill for your tractor.

a salvage yard with a 3000 gasser may be your best bet to get the steering column and pump and assorted hardware needed to convert, plus the air cleaner

reson i say 3000, is becuase the 2000 was an economy unit.. easier to find PS on a 3000.. etc...

otherwise, ytmag has SOME parts for the air cleaner.. but not all..

Okay, thanks guys! I'll see if I can locate a scrapyard somewhere fairly close by. I appreciate the input from you both!

call gulf south equipment they will have the complete air cleaner system i have one also but dont wont to let it go never know when i might need a piece of it. now the powersteering if u aint going to put a loader on the tractor your cheapest route would be to by a aftermarket powersteering system the factory system even though it is used will cost around 1200-1500 dollars for the complete system

Thanks for the information. Any idea where I can get an after-market power steering system for it?

just do a online search they are made by a few different companies i get mine from a man in texas which is about 30 miles from me he gets them by the hundreds from overseas

I tired an online search without a lot of luck. (I'm not a computer whiz--Ha!) But I'll try again. I live in East Texas, so was wondering if the man you get yours from would be fairly close to me as well.

I'm near Lufkin, which is about 50 miles or so from Newton. I was in DeRidder just last week to buy a guitar amp from a guy there. If you can find an air filter system that will work on my tractor, I'd sure be interested in it. Thanks in advance for looking for it.
