Air Filters??

[rswyan]

whatcha think of this nasty filter?

Heheheheh ..... that ain't nothin' ......

.... saw a friend of mine pull and "field clean" the a/f on his New Holland TN75 once .... he's been doing alot brus-hogging and dirt work .... just pulled it out of the housing right there in the field and tapped it off against the tractor ..... it's probably had 1/2 to 1 inch of dust, grass, and debris caked on it .....

Possibly coulda been a little more timely on his maintenance cycle .....

So, did you buy the inner filter, too?? (yes, you guessed it... I need a Photo!!! even a blurry one )

That dirty filter was about what mine looked like...

Hope he had no pin holes in after tapping it, oh well if he had a cylcone precleaner on an oil bath unit he would would not have had to mess with it.

I am pretty sure the filter paper has an anti bacterial coating-the smaller inners inners always seem to have had that color paper for the most part.

The cartridge filter these days does more than visit the engine compartment in Kubotas-or other machines there used in all sorts of places like hospitals for postive ventilation, screening plants for salt and grain, air handlers for large buildings( the one we had worked great when they cleaned and was lousy when they put a pallet of valves in front of it (BECAUSE WE HAD NO WHERE ELSE TO PUT THEM)

Always loved it when they used to cut stainless steel with the plasma torch cuttting table They always disconnected the exhaust pipeing when they cut over size blanks for fire truck pump control panel an we had to open the over head door because of the smoke even in winter..

All technical specs, engineering data, and physics aside - our local Kubota dealer will tell you he replaces/repairs more diesel engines due to lack of maintenance on air filters than any other reason. He notes on single-element filter systems - to never clean element, always replace. His background was a diesel mechanic for a motor line company before ending up as owner of a tractor dealership.

Thank you,

I appreciate your comments, The last thing I want to worry about is is the engine is getting enough intake air.


The turbo charged engines would would really benefit from the oil bath air cleaner/paper element combination units too.



The mining scoop builders were using the oil baths for years until they went to paper and had to change back to oil baths for a lot of units because of the filters collapsing.

Our precleaners used the elbows being shorter in height which had the stationary vanes creating the additonal pressure gradient before the intake and dust cups which work very well and are offered as an option versus the standard cyclones.


Can anyone tell me how to copy a picture from a linked site on my desk top?
I have windows vista home and I dont use all the functions etc othe than web surfing or letters etc.

I want to upload the oil bath/paper air cleaner replacement unit picture page to show everyone what they look like



I have The Windows Vvista home version

Gosh, after reading some of these comments, I am surprised most of our machines are still running; ah but they are. I have two tractors over fifty years old and can guarantee they will still be running long after I am gone.

IF you are just looking to copy the photo from a website and save it onto your computer, Just do the Right click on the photo, Look for "Save Picture As..." in the popup window. (if a website has the right mouse button disable - there is still a way to do it... but would take to much time to explain here).

If you want to post it on TBN, then do a Right click on the photo, which pops opens a menu, at the bottom look for "properties" click on that, another window opens, use the left mouse buttom, click and drag over the Address (URL), about the middle of that window. You might have to drag down also, if the URL wraps around on to two or more lines.

Once the URL is highlighted, move the mouse backover the highlight area and do a single RIGHT mouse click, and left mouse click on "copy". Then you can post it in a thread. Like this using this icon
