Bought my first backhoe! In need of a air filter oil bath for IH 3414 diesel.

Hello everyone. I recently bought a 66 IH 3414 diesel for my landscaping projects this spring/summer and have been loving the machine thus far. However it's missing the oil bath for the air filter. It has the metal mesh element and it seems to have all the other parts. I have three questions and hopefully someone knows and is kind enough share the answers. Is there anyone that sells these anymore? I've looked everywhere and no luck. Is there another tractor model that the filter will be compatible with mine? Lastly, is there other solutions I can use to help protection the engine from dust and dirt? This is my first tractor/backhoe so I apologize for the amatuer questions haha. Thank you.

I don't know your answer but could you convert it to a traditional paper air filter and get rid of the oil bath version all together?

We have an IH 444 that had a funky oil filter (been so long, I forget). Drove me nuts to clean/change things so I finally bought the adapter and changed the oil filter to a spin on and made life much easier.

Hope you get it sorted out.
