I am a rookie Super C owner so sorry for this stupid question. Does the Super C have an air cleaner/filter? If so, where is it located? Thanks for any help.

Yes, the air cleaner should be connected the carburetor with a 1 1/2" hose. Inlet pipe will run thur the hood. The cup on the bottom of the air cleaner should be refilled with clean 30 wt oil every 10 hours of use. feel free to email me with other questions.

The 10 hr recommendation is proper but is for hard use under dusty conditions. The oil bath air cleaners are very high efficiency. When you dump the old oil out be sure to clean the dirt left in the bottom. As long as the dirt has not built up over 1/4 inch in the bottom of the cup (some say 1/2 inch) the air cleaner has been cleaned soon enough. Tractors used on grass and pavement need their air cleaner cups cleaned spring and fall to get moisture out of the oil.

Disking in dusty conditions (where you cannot see the tractor hood on the down wind pass around the field) you barely get 1/4 inch buildup in a 10 hr day. Your nose gets more buildup than the air cleaner.

Manufacturers went to paper air filters to save money, not for improved efficiency although the paper filters WHEN CLEAN have a little less restriction.

Old timers used used oil for air cleaners. It is not recommended. I use drip oil collected from "empty" oil cans of all types: motor oil, hydraulic fluid, ATF, gear oil, etc.

Listen to him about draining every fall and spring to get rid of the water. We were plowing snow on our driveway a couple winters ago and the old Super C died. It would only run for a few seconds and quit. We pulled it into the barn and started checking the obvious things. In the end, we dumped out about a 1 1/2" thick block of brown ice out of the bowl. We hadn't cleaned the thing out for quite a while. After that it started right up and went back to work. We cleaned it out very regularly after that....

the amount of dirt collected can determine the need to clean. Ten hours was a factory idea. R.
