Oil Bath Air Cleaner Update
READER: Is it possible to change my old oil bath air cleaner on my John Deere 3010 to a newer dry air cleaner? The oil bath type is difficult to keep clean and is a mess to service.
STEVE: Yes, you may have to do a little bit of work to get it done, but you can do it. I would recommend that your new air cleaner assembly has a primary and secondary filter, and all connections have no leaks. Any leak can dust an engine within hours of operation.
