[QUOTE="sweepleader, post: 5937248, member: 114254"] Would that be a split shift situation? :{) The drain hose would present less pressure to the wheel motors if it went UP all the way to the tank and entered below the oil level, rather than up above the tank then back down. I suggested the tank drain as you said there were no more openings in the tank to use. With the potential of trapping air above the oil level you run the risk of increased pressure in the drain line. I think you would be better off going up all the way with no down even if you have to go into the top of the tank above the oil level. If the top part of the loop can drain into the tank, that is, it can get air in to allow the bubble to breath, you would be better off than if the bubble were trapped by the oil level in the tank. If you cannot reroute the hose, you might vent the top of the loop with a tee and a breather, so long as it can drain into the tank and not push oil out the breather. That would prevent a bubble forming in the top of the loop. I don't know how much flow there is in that drain line, that might be an issue if a breather were installed. [/QUOTE]
