Farmall Regular

Hi My 1929 Farmall regular air cleaner looks like it should have a wire mesh cup in the oil bowl like in more modern cleaners(1950 60ish) I have checked out a number of doner tractors none have mesh in oil cup Am i wrong in persuming that air intake should travel through oil cup mesh?
Thanks.
 
The regulars nor the F-20 had the mesh in the oil cup. They did have the mesh in the air cleaner body but not the cup.
 
I have a parts book. It shows AC only for Tractors T103736 up (this is the model with the pipe coming straight out the top). Inside the air-cleaner body, there is steel wool. My recollection of using these tractors is that the inside of the cleaner (the part carrying the steel wool) dipped down into the oil. I remember cleaning out the oil container, which usually contained a fair amount of dust that had been caught as the air went through the oil. I presume that some oil mist went up into the steel wool and caught more dirt. I never cleaned anything else.
I have a 10-20 manual, showing the "Pomona" aircleaner, the one with the intake pipe on the side. It says the oil in the cup should be changed daily (NOBODY did this under normal conditions), and that under EXTREME conditions, the complete cleaner should be removed weekly and flushed out with kerosene.
It stands to reason that the steel wool would collect dust, too. It couldn't hurt to clean this out once. If the tractor is mostly for show, you'd probably never have to clean it again.
 
The mesh is in the canister above the cup. What the oil does is wash the mesh and the dirt then settles out of the oil into the bottom of the cup.
