The big cast thing is a cast iron strainer. It's got a screen in it similar to the one on the tractor's pump.
I was gonna use the drain plug, but it's a metric thread (M18x1.5) and I don't have the fittings. Was gonna drill one out, but there wasn't enough clearance to get a drill in there between the tractor and the loader frame, which happened to be perfectly in the way. Wasn't gonna take the loader off either.
I originally plumbed it up what must be 8 years ago. Was 18 at the time and not as much thought was put into it. At that time I used a 1/2" line for the suction but the hydraulics were slower than using the tractor's pump in the winter time because it couldn't pull the oil due to it being so thick. Went up to 3/4" suction line, which is a 50% increase in area. Not sure if it'll be a straight line increase in actual increase of volume or if it'll be more of an exponential deal. Either way will be much more bearable. Don't see any reason the spin on filter won't work on it's side like that- it's no different than an engine oil filter really and they're on they're side quite often. Either way is better than nothing which is what it had before.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
