Garrabo,

I have a one way valve on the end of the vent tube. I got it off of an old chevy 4x4 transfer case vent.

Bluecon1,
Thanks.
My vent is a one way valve---but I wonder if some sort of filter would be better. I might look into that.

Regards,
Jeff

That thing is far to clean mine has not been that clean since the first day I owned it. Second if you try and push any kind of brush you are gonna rip it off. Would not last one day on mine. I had to build a brush guard to keep from tearing the loader hoses off. I think you fixed something that was not broke. But it is pretty.

Jimbrown,
Sounds like you're getting your money's worth out of your machine. I agree, any rough work in thick brush would most likely pop the hose off. Fortunately I don't have any of that stuff around my place to worry about. I would remove the hose and cap the fitting if I ran into that type of work.

Regards,

Jeff

Jeff, What type of fitting did you use in place of the plug on the front axle? I took the plug out and the threads do not appear to be pipe thread, they look more like a straight thread?
Thanks

Frank,
I drilled out the original fill plug and tapped it for a 1/8" npt. The plug is pretty soft and easy to drill in a press.
