Green Dash Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 The B-81 looks like it just rolled off the assembly line.How does the air cleaner on the green one work?

Maddog13407 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 air cleaner on the green one works like a B42 one or one for a B61 with a natural engine. has a screen behind the barrel and sucks air in thru there and in thru the filter, over the oil and thru the top to the engine. has a flipper in it for summer and winter so it will suck under hood air in inclimate weather. more restrictive than the bonnet type or the Diesel type that was bigger around tho Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32948-bs-at-the-show-today/#findComment-209175 Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryboy5487 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 My b61 has that type air cleaner. Did they come on diesel's or just the larger and bonnet type and these were for the gassers. If so might explain why mine smokes like a freight train of somebody has mine turned up Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32948-bs-at-the-show-today/#findComment-209189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 the bonnet air cleaner was standard on turbo 673 and 711 engines but I have seen a few 711's with an air cleaner similar to that one on the green truck but bigger around. Carolina freight had them. the one on that truck in the pic cam one natural 673's and B42's and the like. you could special order the one with the bonnet on top tho for any b model. I have seen some B42 gassers with the bonnet air cleaner. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32948-bs-at-the-show-today/#findComment-209228 Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryboy5487 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Id like to have the bonnet style air cleaner for my B. No matter what type they were all b model cleaners were oilbath correct? And I think all the mason dixon tractors had the tall bonnet air cleaners too Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32948-bs-at-the-show-today/#findComment-209326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 all he round ones were oil bath, you could order a Farr air cleaner though on any B Model to I believe.
