I posted this on the 8N forum, but I've also got "all red ones" in my shed.. wondered what this side of the fence would have to say. I know a lot of guys play with these old tractors because they use 'em on the farm... but I also know a lot of folks aren't farmers. I grew up on the farm, and still live on the family farm, but I don't "farm" for a living. I became a police officer, specfically, a state trooper, 'cause I like the steady pay check regardless of the weather...My question is, what do you other "non-farmer" types, like me, do for a living, and why do you mess with old iron? I needed a hobby completely away from police work. I saw an old F-20 at a Co. Fair one night on patrol,(23 yrs ago) and remembered my dad had one rotting away down in the pasture, that I played on as a child... restored it, and 30+ more after that of all varieties... ('course, if I knew then what I know now, I never would have started on that sorry pile of scrap! It should have been a "donor")

On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
