Oil Bath Filter, how can I change from dry filterback to oil?

mine has been swapped.
i want to swap it back.
where can i go to get the parts?

 

this is what i have
but there is a paper filter in there.

 

i told you i havent the foggiest idea of what i am doing......

 

I have at least one complete assembly from a 54 3b, hoses need to be changed. This really is the best filter going. Shipping might just kill it though.

 

A good picture of the oil level marks too.

 

It is my understanding that oil bath filters do little filtering at low RPM, because they require some turbulence to work. I know of one old timer who started to order his new dump trucks with oil bath filters on them, because they were cheaper to maintain. After dusting a couple engines he changed over to paper.

 

Thanks, yes I read that after I posted. I guess it's like oil types and brands. A person will use what he believes is the best. But it is hard for me to understand why Cat, Isuzu or any of the other engine manufacturer would warranty an engine that works in dusty conditions without the best air filter money can buy.
No big deal, just saying.

 

there are 100+ year old tractors still running that use this system.
just saying

 

If it aint broke after 70 years then why go fixin it???

 

if there was a reusable oil filter.
I'd jump on that too.

 

After the oil bath filters, Jeep went to a paper filter with a removable oiled foam wrap. The foam wrap would catch most of the dust, and could be cleaned. This makes the paper filter last much longer.

Cut-to-fit foam wrap is available from K&N.

 

thanks for the tip.

 

this is what i found just now when i opened it up.

if i get one of the metal cartridges and install it.
do i just reconnect the cut hoses in my pictures?

 

..

 

if i find the original canister...

my FSM isnt very clear on how this hooks up to the other engine components.
