Air Breather

[Brent 41 9N]

I just bought an old ford tractor. It ran good, everything worked, and it came with a finishing mower for $2,000. When I got home with it, I looked up the S/N and found it to be a 1941 9N. My neighbor has a 1940 9N, and the air breather in his comes up through the hood. Mine stops under the hood with a screen around the top. Anyone know if mine was originally desighned that way, or what is the deal?

I have a 46 2N, and mine stops under the hood. I think you neighbor's is equiped with an optional precleaner. But I'm sure the guys will correct me if I'm wrong.

The thru the hood air cleaner extension was indeed a dealer installed option.

Optional, dealer installed, if I remember correctly.

Thanks you guys for your help. Some of the things on this tractor have been changed, like I have one 8N front wheel assembly. This tractor will work hard for a couple years with good up keep. When I am finished with my new house, I will restore and continue using on my little 11 acre tract of land for garden, drive, and grass.
Thanks again!

The dealer installed option gets the air intake up out of the dust that accumulates under the hood
