Looking for a/cleaner element for 6v53 GM

Does anyone know where i might source an element for my 700 series Dodge ? , it had an AF384 Fleetguard in it but these have been discontinued and i cant get a cross reference on one to suit ,i figure that someone might have contacts where there might be some sitting on a shelf....Also looking for a supplier to supply me with a lining for the park brake on the back of the gear box....Any help would be appreciated Cheers .Wayne.

I`ve put an air cleaner of a Dodge on my Diamond Reo to keep it all under the bonnet.I got a new element from Queensland Diesel Spares for it no worries.If you take the hand brake linings to a brake mob they should be able to reline them for you.

Thanx for the feedback , got on to Price Auto parts at Dalby and old mate had a couple on the shelf , and put me on to a mob in Brissy that will bond a new lining on the handbrake ring ..Cheers guys..

Are you near Dalby Wayne?

G'day Wayne,
I have a Donaldson element in my old Dodge 700 with 6V53 power that has a part no. of P181050 stamped on it.
I rang Donaldson about 6 months ago and they said it was still available.
Also on their web site I am sure I read somewhere that their filters only have a shelf life of 18 months , something to do with the treatment of the paper breaking down after this time and not offering full protection.
Maybe it's just so they can sell more filters, but I have just put one in our tractor that was manufactured about 18 months ago , according to the stamp on the box.
Fingers crossed it will be ok, still looked as new.
regards Harleigh.
