Precleaners

Been watching precleaners for letter series on ebay. Why does everybody want the ones with the jar and not the screen? Were they both orginal?

The collector pre-cleaner (with jar) was optional on Farmalls. The pre-cleaner with jar was optional for tractors being used in extremely dirty or dusty areas. The jar catches more dirt and dust. They usually bring $100+ on eBay and you can get the regular top for $10-$15.

Mesh was standard, jar was optional. Many were shipped with jars. Why do people prefer them? -- probably because the jar type was considered an upgrade. I prefer the jar because that's what I'm used to looking at. It is on my H, SH, and M. On the other hand my Super A and both C's have the mesh cap. To me the mesh looks better on the smaller tractors. I suppose it's just what I'm used to. The precleaner with the jar supposedly is more efficient.

I don't know.... Why does everybody with a '70 Boss 302 want the rear window slats; why does everybody with a '69 Z-28 want the rear spoiler? They were options, but everybody wants them, even if their particular car did not come with them when new. mike

OEM Tractor Parts lists the complete unit for $159.00. If your doing a restoration then Maple-Hunter carries the decal that went on top.
