Modified Air Cleaner Filter Stops Plug-Ups
“In your last issue a reader complained that the air cleaner filter on his Country Clipper Challenger zero-turn mower constantly filled with grass. “I had the same problem on my Country Clipper. After only a couple hours of mowing, the air cleaner filter clogged up so bad that it slowed the engine rpm’s down. I was mowing on high, sandy ground which resulted in a tremendous amount of dust, dirt and grass clippings on the machine and driver. Here’s how I solved the problem.
“I removed the filter cover and filter, then removed the bolt that holds the filter in place. I then stacked 4 new filters on top of each other and anchored them in place with a much longer bolt. I sprayed Endust dusting aid very lightly onto a large hand towel, then wrapped the towel all the way around the filters and secured it with a wire or cord. I made sure to spray only the outside of the towel in order to reduce the chance of getting oil on the filters.
“I wrapped 2 layers of towels around the filters to capture more dust and dirt. As long as the filters stay dry, you can blow or vacuum the dust off them and reuse them many times. I’ve used the same filters for 8 or 9 years.
“You can wash the towel with your work clothes, or hand wash it, and reuse the towel many times. I change the towel frequently, so I always keep a couple of extra clean towels on hand in my shed.”
