 Topic: 185 suprise
Posted: 08 Mar 2015 at 7:45am |
I am finally doing some work on the 185 I got a year a ago and have used very little. I have the fuel tank at a radiator shop being cleaned and coated due to lots of crud inside. Here is my surprise from yesterday when checking the air filter. I think I will replace it! I like the AC logo on it.

We found 1973 filters in a 1855 oliver once. It wasn't 1976 when we found them either. Gary

so if the tank was full of crud, I can only imagine what the pump and injectors are like!

That isn't uncommon. People didn't spend money on things years ago like we do now. You blow filters out put them back in.

Or take a clean five gallon bucket ,warm water, and some detergent ,and gently hand wash the filter ,let dry naturally, no compressed air while wet, then re- install,almost as good as a new filter.

I'll replace an air filter vs replacing an engine any day of the week! Darrel

I send my filters out for cleaning, not that expensive and as long as you don't wait too long, they look good as new.

Good stories. My practice is to clean air filters and only replace when light shines through less than I think it should.
In regards to the fuel tank, the pump and injectors have only a few hours on them. Hopefully the sediment bowl and filter kept them clean.

Had a D19 that the intake hose was removed from the carb when we bought it. Put it back on and the tractor would not run. Had to remove the air cleaner from the tractor and destroy the element to get it out of the housing, was packed full of dirt. I think I was the first person since west allis to have that element out.

It's remarkable what some of these tractors have went through and still operate.

I believe I saw at a farm show once a mechanism that hooks to the end of an air hose that has a small rotary thing one the end that you insert into the filter to clean it out. The rotary part spins really fast and shoots air out of the filter, removing a lot of the dust.

Never heard of that type of service. Where do you send them?
