Here a nickels worth. My dad used to use his “M” for custom corn shelling and a lot of times when it was on the belt, it sat in the dust coming from the sheller. The air cleaner would get a lot of the red “beeswings” and dried silks from the corn in the air cleaner. He actually chiseled the spot welds off to remove the metal ring that holds the wire mesh in the top of the air cleaner. He then took the wire mesh out, unrolled it and then worked with stiff bristled brushes and compressed air to get it clean. Then he carefully rolled the screen back up and installed it back into the air cleaner. He spot welded the retaining piece back in by brazing it with an acetylene welding torch. This is a LOT of work so I only recommend it in extreme situations. At least when you are done you are positive that the air cleaner is clean.
