Yes, the case drain is teed into the return line. I also added a check valve before teeing it into the return line as I was concerned that the return line could over-pressurize the motor. For this particular model, this required some special fittings; (1) 1/2 MBSPP x 1/2 FBSPP swivel x 1/2 MBSPP branch tee, (1) 1/2 MNPT x 1/2 FBSPP swivel 90 elbow, (1) 3/8 MBSPP x 1/2 MNPT adapter, (1) 1/2 FNPT x 1/2FNPT check valve, and (1) 1/2 MNPT x 1/2 MNPT x 18" LG. hose. That may seem like a lot of parts but it's gotta be easier (and probably cheaper) than plumbing all the way back to the reservoir.
@@gabrielmorin5277 I don’t recall the pressure but I’m sure I purchased as low of pressure as I could find. I doubt that 75psi would be an issue. It rust needs to be lower than the blowout pressure of the pump which should be in the thousands of psi.
Awesome Video that’s as real as it gets! Just got one of these from an auction thanks for all the info.
Glad I could help
Did you run the case drain into the return line?

@@dreamcatcherdb what crack pressure check valve did you put ? I have a 75psi one but wondering if it will be too much pour the motor
