Description
When you’re out in dusty fields with your Massey Ferguson 178 or 188, that oil bath air cleaner is your engine’s lifeline. But the system only works as well as its weakest link, and that flexible hose connecting everything together takes a beating from heat cycles, vibration, and years of farm work. If your air cleaner hose is cracked, soft, or leaking, you’re letting unfiltered air bypass your oil bath system—the last thing you want on a dusty harvest day.
What You’re Getting
- Direct replacement hose that fits like the original—no modifications needed
- Heavy-duty rubber construction that handles temperature swings and constant flexing
- Proper wall thickness that won’t collapse under vacuum when the engine’s working hard
- Exact dimensions to match your oil bath air cleaner system connections
- Quality construction that seals tight and stays flexible season after season
Built for Real Farm Work
This hose connects the components in oil bath air cleaner systems found on Massey Ferguson 175, 178, 185, and 188 tractors, along with equipment powered by Perkins A4.236 and A4.248 engines. These are the tractors doing the real work—pulling implements through heavy soil, running PTO equipment, and handling the daily grind that keeps your operation moving.
Made to Last
Oil bath air cleaners work in harsh environments, and this connecting hose is built to match. The rubber compound resists cracking from heat and ozone exposure, while the reinforced construction maintains its shape under the vacuum created during engine operation. It’s designed to handle the constant vibration and flexing that comes with tractor work.
Installation Notes
Replacement is straightforward—just remove the old hose and clamps, then install the new one with proper hose clamps on both ends. Make sure all connections are tight to prevent air leaks that would bypass your oil bath filtration. A good tip: replace the hose clamps too if the old ones are rusty or have lost their spring tension.
