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.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
