Quick fit of the air cleaner. I hooked up the oil vent line. Did not consider the following problem; the Donaldson bracket places the air cleaner closer to the mounting bracket, and hence the intake pipe is farther aft and does not line up with the exit hole in the engine cover. Another problem to remedy. It looks like the Donaldson brackets are double trouble.

Thanks for that I have nearly all tinwork to make and ballast boxes so every drawing helps get that bit closer to complete Clark!

Mine has been re-engined with a Continental and I would like to put the correct engine in it , but the Waukesha engines are even harder to find in the UK!!

Since I have nothing better to do given the rainy weather, I'll post parts pictures. Here is the Ball Special wide mouth jar on the Farmall air pre-cleaner.

By the way, the part came in and my wife said, "Whud'ja pay for that?"
I answered, "Nine Dollars," in a proud, look what i found for cheap tone of voice.
"Could'a got ya a case of those at the store for ten bucks!" she answered.

DOOOOH :roll:

Alex,
I have looked continuously for air cleaner stuff on hundreds of sites and have never seen one with that shape. Most are square. If we knew what the decal looked like we might makes some. Thanks for posting.
