Was checking tractors for mud dobber nests, shined a light down into air cleaner on my C--no filter elements. Does not seem to be accessible from bottom...does the top come off? Need to use this tractor but not w/o air cleaner. Thanks for any help. |

If you are looking from the top you won't see any as that is a straight thru tube that goes into the oil , then the air goes thru the oil and then through the steel mesh that you can see if looking at the bottom without the oil cup , through the oil wetted mesh and out the side port to the carb. ------------- CA, WD, C, 3 Bs, 2 Gs, WC, I-400, 914 |

Thanks, Ted - understand now. Found a dobber nest in the air cleaner cap - any idea how to keep them out? The cap has nothing in it to stop them. |

The shop manual should give air input and air cleaner details: http://geraldj.networkiowa.com/Trees/Allis-Chalmers-G-B-C-CA-Service.pdf" rel="nofollow - http://geraldj.networkiowa.com/Trees/Allis-Chalmers-G-B-C-CA-Service.pdf Gerald J. |

How can it not be accessible from the bottom? That's how you change the oil. How about a picture of that air cleaner? |
