Vintage Precleaner

[ffmike790]

Hi, first time posting, apologies if I am out of line for anything. I wanted to ask if anyone happened to know the brand or model of this precleaner (if picture shows) I saw on a video posted a few years ago? The owner replied that his dad had restored the '46 JD A, but had passed away and that he thought it may have been a factory part. I looked in my PC-675 parts catalog and do not see one listed. Is this possibly a one off custom made setup or were these produced at one time? Thank you for your help.

Am 80 and never saw that and got our first JD in 57. That is some kind of aftermarket as it is slid down over the air cleaner stack.

There is one like that on my '51 JD R which was on it when I bought it used about 20 years ago. I see them quite often; maybe they were more common here in wheat country. Also, not uncommon to see the jar cracked, in fact if I recall I replaced the jar on my R.

Thank you for that reply and putting a name to it. Here is another view to give more of what you've never seen. Thanks again.
