Air filter conversion

Does anyone have a tutorial or pictures of the filter conversion from oil bath to dry

[rickf]

Welcome to the 838. There are several versions of that conversion out there. I have copies of the original on my computer I can get to you but I am just getting ready to go out and get some yard clearing done while it is still semi cool out. I will get back to you this afternoon.

Ok

[rickf]

Sorry, I am just getting in. Loader broke and I have been working on that all day. I thought someone else may have chimed in by now but guess not. I am going to get something to eat, shower and hit the sack. I will dig those files out tomorrow and post them on this thread if no one else does first.

You'd remove the metal mesh/oil from the housing, install in its place a K&N E996 air filter or a fram CA 8039 air filter.

Here is the original conversion as done by Ron Rietfors from Hawaii.
Note, You can also use a stock replacement paper air filter for the same vehicle from 1196 to 2001 with the 5.0 engine. Much cheaper and works just as well if not better.

How do I get required permissions to view files

[rickf]

Sorry, I forgot you are new on here so you can't do that until you have ten posts. I am going to send you a private message, You should be able to receive it but I don't think you can reply to it. I will send you my e-mail address, reply to my email with your email and I will send the file that way.

I sent you an e-mail instead of the PM, just reply to that with your e-mail and I will get that info out to you.

When I clic on M151 air cleaner Modification dock, I get nothing.Something goes to downloads on my desktop, but it shows nothing.

You are running a Mac if I remember correctly, Do you have a program that will open Microsoft Word files? I am pretty sure there is a Mac file that does that but I would have to fire up my Mac and I need to get out of here and get some stuff done before it gets hot out. I will check later.

[Mark]

Yes, No.The process used to work pretty good.I'll try the Microsoft Word files if I find them.

If you don't own MS Word for the Mac OS, Google docs will open MS word files.
