pre air filter?

[phatgemi]

Unless I'm mistaken, if you get an OEM air filter it is reusuable. Just wash out with soap and water and let it dry. Wham, new air filter. More money up front but cheaper in the long run!!!

Sirs,
Did I read here to put facial surgical mask on the air element intake? Ya? What?
What you need to do is to fab up a pre-cleaner bowl for your air intake. The tractor I just bought - tested the oil, shoiws too much dirt, not good filtration- maybe sllers environment, maybe not. i'm wrtring up the fab tomorrow or wednesdsay and will share what i would do to helpt this situation, again, in my humbel opinion.

I don't think putting surgical masks on the element will help, personally. The tractor ain't a human afterall.

I bought my filter from hoye and it did not have a foam filter around it. I sure wish it did!
smokiediesel I will read your fab with interest.

I love the reusable filters like the K&Ns, and use them on my motorcycles and cars but be forewarned, they are not as effective a filter as stock. I would not use them in a dusty environment. A double filtration schema of sort would be more appropriate for a hard working tractor that stirs up all sort of dust.

KnN are oiled? I wuldn't recommend for diesel use. Diesel suck the oil righ off the filter and into the intake,etc. good cleen filtration is the way to go... change filter offen if dirty. p.s. i'm still considering ideas to fab up pre-cleaner bowl on older YANMAR (IThink GRAY YANMAR) tractors...

I put a clean ractive superflow SF400 on my YM1500 when I mow or till. It keeps a lot of junk from getting to the filter.

hey all
I'm in need of some kind of air filter for my 2000. Our area is so dry that I am constantly sucking dirt. I have already had to replace the rings once and I'm sure it was from dirt. Does anyone have any idea's, I was thinking of some kind of sock that might fit over the intake extension.
anyway thanks for the help.

Mark, you could buy the YM240 that mike has for sale, it has the pre cleaner on it.
