Oil Bath Air Cleaner ID
 

Can anyone identify this oil bath air cleaner? Is it an original part? What year(s)? Other than the words "FRONT" and "OIL LEVEL" there are no part numbers or marks I can find. It is a little over 9" in diameter and 7" high and weighs about 4.5 lbs (without oil). Came off my '36 which I replaced with a correct unit. Thanks

The 35/36 ford V 8 club book shows a pictures on pg. 125 of edition (1). Manf. By Donaldson. I have 2 and both have the raised ribs in the top cover. Also Unity made one similar. Don Rogers who is one of rhe editors and maybe able to provide more info.. Kerk

I now have the standard dry type as shown on page 105 of the 35/36 book. See the photo below of my current air cleaner (that I restored). The old oil bath one I have is not the same as the optional ones shown on page 125 of the 35/36 book. I think it is a later one. In doing some searches I found this one that looks just like the one I removed - Similar air cleaner on UK eBay

He claims it to be off a 51 Ford. Ring any bells to anyone?

Thanks, John

Here is a '50 or '51 air cleaner.

Ok, then I guess it's not a '50 or '51. Any other guesses as to what this air cleaner might be from? (see photos at top of this thread)

That’s an oil bath cleaner for a 1941 Ford.

One year only part.
