Thanks for posting.Uncle Rob Rob why did the early to mid 70s V8s have the Farr air cleaner, did they flow more air than the donaldson.

Rob Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Rob why did the early to mid 70s V8s have the Farr air cleaner, did they flow more air than the donaldson. RonIn my opinion yes, by far. Generator specifications called for Farr units when noise was not a concern. They were the worst as far as dampening the incoming air noise where Donaldson, and the other competitors excel. Farr brand had the largest filter media available and exposed to the air stream and used porous tubes to increase the filter area even more.They fell out of favor as the engines were starting to become quieter in operation.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Yoos Brothers Construction Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 My RS795LST has one and it is just like a big sterio box (music to ears ). As far as I now most of the 325s had farr air cleaners as a standard and the 375 had it as an option (donaldson was standard). I fully intend to keep mine on mty truck. There's my 2 cents .Thanks, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b61mack Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Rob and Josh both of mine have 325s with the Farr, they sound like there sucking alot air when standing beside them, sounds like music to your ears for sure. Thanks Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks RonIf a water manometer is placed across a Farr box filter, and an equally sized Donaldson filter, it will still be found the Farr is a lot less restrictive. They are not much quieter in operation than an open intake with no filter however.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Bigdogtrucker Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Wasn't the last steel dash "72? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yes but I suspect the truck was built in 72, and sold as a 73. They were allowed to deplete existing inventories in the production run on many things.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

57 bcr Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Seems like MACK changed the dash(and cab) mid year '73 model production.The early '73's were still steel,late '73's padded.That is a nice complete truck.I like the genuine MACK accessory door panels.
