Looking for an A.C. Sphinx oil bath air cleaner
Hi folks,
I'm looking for an air cleaner to suit my Dennis lawnmower. It currently has a plastic air cleaner fitted which looks all wrong. According to the Spare Parts List, the correct air cleaner is an "A.C. Sphinx Oil Bath Type" with a 1 1/2" circular opening in the bottom. I believe they may later have been sold under the name A.C. Delco. The air cleaner is of a squat, cylindrical shape with a removable lid. Here's a picture of a lawnmower (not mine) with the correct air filter: http://www.mythic-beasts.com/~cdt22/...ir_cleaner.jpg I have the curly pipe. I just need the air cleaner. Anyone got one they want to sell, or know where I might find one? I'm looking for this specific air cleaner, or one very similar, not one which does the same job. Best wishes, Chris Tidy |

It looks VERY much like the Gravely oil bath cleaners: http://cgi.ebay.com/GRAVELY-L1-OIL-B...QQcmdZViewItem or http://tinyurl.com/ca3mqd I can take a better picture of mine and/or measure it if you want.

Thanks very much, Ted. That's just the kind of tip I need. Do you know if the cleaners fitted to the Lister SR engines are the ones with a 1.5" diameter opening for the pipe (I believe A.C. made several different sizes)? Many thanks, Chris |

It looks similar, but deeper to me. It appears to be taller with a reduced diameter section below the top. Thanks for the offer of measuring your Gravely cleaner. For the moment, I think I'll pass and see if I can find the genuine article, but I may get back to you if I cannot. Best wishes, Chris |

Best wishes, Chris Tidy Does the oilbath air cleaner from an old VW look anywhere close or does it fall into the "does the same job" category? technomaNge -- Obama: Half white. Half black. All red. |
