Description
If you’ve got an old Ford tractor from the ’40s, ’50s, or early ’60s, you know that original oil bath air cleaner was designed to handle some serious dust. The cyclone cup and spring assembly is what makes that system work—it creates the swirling action that separates dirt from air before it hits the oil bath. When this little assembly starts rattling, comes apart, or just disappears over the years, your engine loses that first line of defense against all the grit and debris you kick up in the field.
What You’re Getting
- Exact reproduction of original Ford cyclone design that creates proper air separation
- Includes both the cup and spring assembly for complete restoration
- TISCO quality construction built to last through decades of farm use
- Direct bolt-in replacement—no modifications needed to your existing air cleaner
Built for Real Farm Work
This assembly fits all Ford tractor models from 1939 through 1964, covering everything from the early 9N and 2N models through the 600, 800, 900 series and beyond. These were the workhorses of their day—plowing fields, running threshing machines, and handling all the dusty jobs that came with farming before modern enclosed cabs and air conditioning.
Made to Last
The original Ford engineers designed this cyclone system to work in conditions that would choke a modern filter in minutes. This reproduction maintains those same heavy-duty materials and precise dimensions that made the original so effective. The spring provides just the right tension to keep everything sealed and working properly.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward if you’re familiar with oil bath air cleaners—just make sure the oil level in your air cleaner bowl is correct after reassembly. The cyclone creates a spinning motion that throws heavier particles outward while clean air moves toward the center. Keep some extra oil handy for the initial fill, and don’t forget to check that the spring seats properly to maintain the seal.
