Post driver return line inlet location

[Todd NE WY]

Hi all,

I am a long time reader but I think this is my first post. Yesterday I bought a Shaver post driver, the basic unit. It is used but I have been reading about them for quite awhile so I know I need to dump the return line directly into the return resevoir. I have a JD 4320 with the ehydo trans, where on the rear of the tractor would be the best spot to tie the return hose into the trasmission housing. The first thought would be a modified filler cap, right now it is the little plastic screw in one, where I could attach the return hose to an extension screwed into the same location.

Thanks in advance for the help.

If you know what kind of thread the filler opening is, you might be able to find an adapter with a tee, and screw it in, screw on the return line from post driver hose, and screw the filler cap back on.

This is what Eric and Mculby did with the return line from the post driver.

The modified filler cap is the best way, just go to JD and get a "spare" that you can adapt a barbed fitting to-You can use a brass one from Home Cheapot because the pressure is low on the return.
