65 Cj5 Oil Bath Air Filter

I just recently purchased a 1965 Navy CJ5. The Jeep is missing a few parts including the original air filter. I have looked at different websites and vendors to see if I can find a used or remanufactured one without much luck. I'm wondering if anyone has a good picture of what it looks like exactly, I haven't been able to see any really clear photos of it.

Looking at kaiserwillys.com the one they sell for the MB, GPW, CJ-2A, 3A, M38's looks taller than what my CJ5 would have, but like I said I haven't been able to see any good pictures of what it looks like. Please forgive me if this has already been discussed in another thread... I did a search but it came up empty. As I start the restoration/rebuild of this jeep I'm sure I will hav a lot more questions.

 

Military cleaner is different.

Civilian unit for sale here, at a good price.

Thank you

 

I would add, use an original corrugated hose if you can. The repros can be total junk.

My sixty year old hose is fine, the new repop one I bought lasted a week.

 

Partly depending on the carb used (YF or YS), and the need for underwater snorkeling features.

 

The blank is missing covering the snorkel opening but from the information I got from the previous owner I don’t think it had a snorkel. My understanding is that it was a naval air station Jeep so I don’t think it would have need for the snorkel. From the information I have been able to find on the internet (which is pretty sparse) there weren’t very many navy CJ5’s. Most navy Jeep’s would have been m38’s, but I am by no means an expert on them. What little information I have on it, is from the previous owner and a few nuggets I have found online. The carb is the carter carb, I’m not sure what the YF or YS is. Any information I could find on this Jeep would be helpful.

 

Your ‘65 CJ5 is a civilian Jeep that was purchased under a military contract. It is not an “M” series Jeep. You are looking for a Donaldson oil bath filter assembly from a regular CJ5. This should not be a hard item to find on this forum if you place a “WTB” (want to buy) in the CJ5 classified section.

Thank you, I actually did find one on this forum, so thank you all for your help, I appreciate it.

 

Civilian CJ5 has YS Carter carb, with a throat that opens at the top. The air horn elbow that connects to the air cleaner tubing is a separate piece, somewhat loosely clamped to the carb.

The M38A1 has a YS Carter, with an integral 90º elbow. (Also an accelerator pump 'cap' that is side mounted visible on the exterior.) It was entire waterproof, and the air cleaner had a side intake that could also be watertight when connected to a snorkel.
