 Topic: D17 series 4 air filter cover
Posted: 04 Sep 2025 at 3:00pm |
|
I went to change the air filter in my d17 and after I removed the screw/bolt the piece covering the air filter fell apart. It seems like a cloth type material not really sure what it is. Anyone know of a place to get a replacement for this.

Not available anywhere, but not really a problem. Any air that comes in still passes through the filter, so the engine is still getting clean air.

Would it be possible to make a metal cut out for it and use that instead?

The idea was the material they made it out of sort of sealed the end of the filter/canister area to force air to enter thru the stack. Cooler and possibly cleaner air that way. You can make it out of what you want but a little flexible would be better function wise. A thin piece of rubber belting would work, and see if it can handle the underhood heat.

I bought a replacement from Agco about two years ago. It didn't really look like the original and was made out of a thin rubber material and basically just sealed the end. Ryan

Love Allis Chalmers but they really dropped the ball on the air filter designs on bothe the Series 4 D17 and the Series 2 D15 . It's like the engineer was almost done and his boss came along and said hurry up we need this design fast . Couldn't make a sheet metal piece with a wing nut to hold it in place ?

It's been many years since restoring my D17 Diesel and ran into the same problem. Here's what I did to keep the design as close to original as possible. Made a steel ring that fits over the rubber boot and sticks up a bit so that the cross-bar holds it tight. The cross-bar has a tightening screw that bears down on the end of the filter. I no longer have the tractor, and don't recall the exact dimensions.
