FT, simply use pipe plugs, I did. The reason for the loops of tubing is to use existing parts.
Use an 1/8 NPT pipe plug for the return flow port (side) and a 1/4 NPT plug on the input (front).
This is what I will be putting into my Allison, Premium Tractor Hydraulic Fluid. It has an equivalent (engine oil ) viscosity of 10W...among other things.

Well Mike made it to NV and on his return trip he stopped by my place.
Here he is with that impressive M1009 (the tire in the roof rack is for the 8x8, which he brought from OK).
He is leaving this morning for NJ.
RE: Re: RE: pump
Even if the pressure doesn't build up, you have achieved a lot by filling the oil canisters and oil cooler, that's essentially all I'm able to do with my hand pump (posted in a different thread)...
The whole idea with pre-lubing the multi is to fill the filter canisters and oil cooler, a total of about a gallon of oil. If you bypass, there may be a drop in pressure as usual at start-up.
The threads are 3/8 NPT and you should be able to "bring the port out" by using a 3 to 4 inch nipple.

Have this, perhaps it can be adapted to fit. I haven't compared NSN numbers.
It is stripped of tenna hose and tool box.
If they match, I can take measurements as/if needed.
RE: Re: RE: Happy with Aervoe 997B 24084
I know, my "Earth Yellow" faded very quickly where I tested it on the deuce.
So far, after six months, if I spray a spot from a fresh can on the aged paint (been exposed to the sun daily), there is no difference.
In any case, it's the color match...
Since you are on line David, do you know of an official procedure for bypassing the FDC and the necessary re-adjustment of the fuel delivery?
According to the TMs, few if any of the IP adjustments are to be done "in the field", so why would the droop screw be suspect?

Rarily to bare metal.
I prep by cleaning, wire brushing, pealing flaking paint with a carpenter's chisel, degreasing, washing with soap and water. To get an even top coat, I prime everything with Rustoleum "Rusty Metal primer".
It's all done a small section...
Agreed....the reason for the filter is to be able to leave it in permanently, a hose will collect oil after a period of time.
When everything is up and running on my deuce, it can be fording ready to 5 ft within 1 minute.
Compare XM757: Crankcase fumes dumped into the exhaust.
I have now been using this paint for more than six momths and the parts painted in early Spring are still rich in color and matches original parts.
The paint is also very hard and I hope it stays this way.
I have taken pictures under various conditions to attempt to get a good color...
