About Air Cleaner

Replacement Air Cleaners for Heavy Equipment and Engines

Find replacement air cleaners, air cleaner assemblies, housings, and covers for selected heavy equipment, agricultural machinery, forklifts, industrial engines, and other vehicle applications at FAB Heavy Parts. This collection features parts for equipment from brands including Caterpillar, John Deere, Komatsu, CASE, Kubota, Hitachi, JLG, and others. Product designs and applications vary, from complete air cleaner assemblies to individual housing and cover components.

An air cleaner helps remove airborne dust and debris before air enters the engine. In construction, agricultural, and industrial environments, effective intake filtration is important because dust and other contaminants can contribute to engine wear. A properly fitted air cleaner housing and its seals also help maintain the intended airflow path through the filtration system.

Air Cleaner Assemblies, Housings, and Covers

The correct replacement depends on which component needs attention. Some listings include an air cleaner assembly with filter elements, while others cover a housing, intake box, or protective cover. These components serve different purposes and should not be treated as interchangeable.

Examples in this collection include air cleaner assembly 87615796 for selected CASE 580M, 580SM, and 590SM loader applications; John Deere air cleaner assembly RE64098, cross-referenced with AT171853 and AT171854; and Komatsu air cleaner assembly 6240-81-7701 for specified SAA6D170E engine applications. These are examples from individual listings, not universal fitment claims for every machine using those brands or engine families.

How to Choose the Right Air Cleaner

Start with the part number on your existing component or the number specified in your equipment parts documentation. Compare it with the listing and confirm the exact machine and engine application. Check whether you need a complete assembly, a housing or cover, or an assembly that includes filter elements.

Also compare the component’s shape, mounting points, inlet and outlet connections, and sealing arrangement. A similar-looking housing may not fit correctly or connect to the existing intake system. If replacing an assembly, verify whether the required filter elements are included or need to be purchased separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the right air cleaner assembly for my machine?

Please start with the part number on your existing air cleaner or in your equipment parts manual. Then compare it with the replacement air cleaner, including the machine model and engine application. Please also check the mounting points, intake connections, and housing configuration. If you are unsure, send us the part number and your machine or engine details so we can help review the available information.

Is an air cleaner assembly the same as an air filter?

Not exactly. An air filter is the element that captures dust and other airborne contaminants, while an air cleaner assembly houses or supports the filtration components. Some assemblies include filter elements, but others are sold as housings or covers only. Please check the individual product description to see exactly what is included before placing your order.

Do you have air cleaner assemblies for John Deere engines?

Yes, the collection includes a listed John Deere air cleaner assembly, part number RE64098, cross-referenced with AT171853 and AT171854. Its product description identifies applications including selected 3029, 4045, and 6068 engine configurations. Please compare your engine's exact model and part number with the listing, as compatibility can vary between configurations.

Should I replace the entire air cleaner assembly if my filter is dirty?

Not necessarily. A dirty filter element alone does not automatically mean the entire assembly needs replacement. Please inspect the housing, cover, mounting points, and sealing surfaces for cracks, distortion, or damage. Follow your equipment manufacturer's maintenance instructions to determine whether the filter element or another component needs attention.

What information should I send if I cannot find the air cleaner I need?

Please send us the existing part number, equipment make and model, engine model, and machine serial number if available. Photos of the existing assembly, mounting points, and intake connections can also help clarify which component you need. You can use our Request a Quote page to submit your requirements. We can review the information available, but compatibility should not be assumed without sufficient supporting details.
