Hi guys,
I recently bought an old L200, and I'm going through it little by little, trying to make things right...
The air filter on this tractor consists of a cyclone and an oil bath filter, with an element above the oil bath (see diagram from parts manual below).
Here's my question... the air filter element that came with my tractor doesn't seem to match the diagram in the parts manual (but the parts manual is for both the L200 & L210, and there are other small discrepancies on other parts of the tractor, so it could be wrong)... but I can't figure out how the filter I have is supposed to work, in the housing that it's in...
As far as I can tell – as it is now, the intake air could come down the center tube from the cyclone, but it sort of dead-ends in the center of the air filter element... there's no place for it to go... and the way the element fits in the bottom pan, it's too small – so there's a gap, as it sits in the pan. I don't think it's supposed to sit in the pan at all, I think it's supposed to bridge the gap between the upper assembly, and the lower oil bath pan.
I've been scratching my head on this one, let me know what you think. I think all the intake air is bypassing the cyclone and the oil bath altogether, and just going through the element... here's some pics. Any guys out there with a L200 or L210, if you've got pics of your air cleaner setups, I'd love to see them...
Thanks!
-Norm.
