No parts are available in the US or Canada. this is a tractor made in Germany, sold in Europe and Canada. where can I get a gasket for my JD 710 ag tractor’s oil bath air filter?

MF recommend that the air cleaner should be cleaned every 8 hours (or even twice a day in dusty contitions) - it will also help if the tractor has the air intake protruding above the bonet.

I do not know many people who clean their air filter every 8 hours, but doing so will prolong the life of the engine. The oil should be changed, using the same grade as the engine oil. In very cold weather it is permissible to add up to 25% paraffin so that the oil flows freely.

Hopefully your wire mesh should be in sound condition. If so, you can clean the entire unit occasionally using paraffin. Afterwards, the element should be thoroughly dried out with an air jet.

The petrol engines tend to be fitted with one wire mesh which is in the main body of the filter. The diesel engines tend to be fitted with one wire mesh in the main body of the filter and another detachable one in the lower
(removable bowl) part of the filter, just above the oil reservoir.

Hope that gives you some useful information.
