Took the air filter off the tractor today, and it seems the air filter canister is one piece ? How should I clean this , the wire mesh itself that makes up the guts of the filter ? Thanks for your help

If the air cleaner is an oil bath type, proper servicing should only need the oil bath cleaning out. The operation is that the returning oil from the wire mesh carries the dirt and it is sedimented in the base. If it has been run 'dry' or not been serviced at the proper intervals the mesh will need cleaning carefully - remember, it relies on picking up the oil from the bowl and catching it in the mesh where intimate contact with the induction air leaves the dirt particles sticking in the oil - so as not to leave any path for the induction air, except through the mesh and none where air cannot pass. So be reasonably gentle with it!

Ditto waht the others said.. putting the entire can in a parts washer will be the easiest way.. then slosh back and forth.. allow to drip out, and then reinstall with fresh oil.

You got to understand how it works before you get confused.

When the tractor is started, the oil from the bowl on the air canister is drawn upwards just enough into the wire mesh. Incoming air has displaced the oil in the bowl, so any dirt or debris in the incoming air sticks to the oil on the wire mesh.

You need to take the assembly off of the tractor, and instead of trying to take the mesh out, have it steam cleaned or degreased in a machine shop bath tank.

The last one I had to clean was so dirty that I soaked it in a bucket of gas{back when gas was 89cents} and used compressed air and a cleaning rod for a shot gun on it. Not perfect but pretty good way.

wash the filter out with kerosene real good till you get all the old dirt and oil out of there, clean the oil cup also. then refill the cup with fresh engine oil.
