Never looked inside of a gearbox like is on my bush hog, but would it ruin it to be mounted sideways to make a right angle gear box?
I suspect that the vent plug needs to be generally connected to the air space in the gear box. If you flip the gear box upside down and just make it so the vent plug is extended to be on top, oil could dribble out any time heat increased because the base of this new vent tube would be full of oil and an increase in pressure in the gear chamber would shove more oil into it; if the tube is long enough to expand without dribbling it would merely be a weak liability (catching stuff on it and breaking off the vent tube and/or threads at the gear box) instead of a constant mess.I imagine that on most you could “extend” the vent plug with a threaded elbow and some pipe fittings so the vent stays on “top” .
That doesn't work if the entry point is submerged.I imagine that on most you could “extend” the vent plug with a threaded elbow and some pipe fittings so the vent stays on “top” .
