pitch climb to keep oil out of the front cover
(Tractor installation)?
Kelly;
I did something along that line on my
20B. Mine is a pusher installation; but I wanted the deep sump near the
firewall to keep the weight nearer the CG. I have about a 2” hinged
flap between the sloping section and the deeper sump to inhibit the oil from
running toward the ‘rear’ on steep climb. Don’t have a
photo of the inside, but you can get the idea the old photo attached. Normal full
level is about 3/4” below the pan flange giving 8 quarts (designed for
pan fed OMP). The level switch warns when the level gets down to 4
quarts.
Now that I’m converting to premix,
I’ll probably fill to about 6 qts, and add when the light comes on; which
probably shouldn’t happen between changes.
