ford 901 air cleaner

Lou33 · Sep 13, 2013

Hi, Ford 901 owners:
can anyone tell me how (if it is possible) to change the steel wool air cleaner element in the 901 air cleaner housing?
I have seen new elements for 901 and several other tractors advertised on the internet, but can't see any way to remove the old one I haven't tried taking the air cleaner body off the tractor yet but thought I'd ask before I got into that.
I'm attaching a couple of pics of the air cleaner. One of these is taken underneath and shows the steel wool of the element - the other two are shots of the housing mounting.

Appreciate any tips. Lou

If you can get them dimples pushed back so retainer will come out, then mesh will come out. I just take to good carwash and wash out.Most of whats seen is on surface.

Shaun,

Thanks for the idea, but I'm not sure that I could get the dimples back in place after I put in a new element. Also, I would have to remove the air cleaner housing to get at some of the dimples; if I did that, I would choose to just clean the existing element and not fool with a replacement.
