Ewwww, Oil bath air cleaners is a misnomer, they do not make air much cleaner at all. A GOOD dry pleated paper filter works best. I had a drop-in K&N filter in my diesel pickup. I cleaned it properly, re-oiled and as I was installing it noticed MILLIONS of points of light shining thru the cotton gauze. I ran to town and bought the OEM pleated paper element and installed it and have only used OEM since. I do use SuperLube synthetic grease to seal the oem filters like the K&N recommended, even included.
I had done a couple oil analysis's before installing the K&N. Silicon, (dust and dirt) was zero or one ppm. With the K&N, the two oil analysis I did were 3 & 4 ppm. The oil analysis I did when I went back to the OEM pleated paper element were zero and one. K&N passes dirt. Period! ALL my driving was on Interstates or major State or local highways and hard surface roads, no dirt or crushed rock.
Wish I could get two stage pleated paper filters to fit my two Farmall tractors. My new Cub Cadet Tank has a great molded plastic two stage in it's 27 hp Kawasaki engine. But it's set-up horizontal and I need vertical on my tractors.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
