  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Bypassing oil hose off oil drain bolt on '11 te310...?

So I went to change the oil on my '11 TE310 today and what a pain in the butt that oil hose that comes off the oil drain bolt. If that hose ever comes off or brakes you loose all your oil. This line goes high up the frame but I have't found out where it comes back out at and goes to.


So my ? is, has anyone installed a regular oil drain plug yet? Have any problems with removing the drainper say?

thoughts?
 
Hey Doug I have the same question. Always loosening and tightening that hose scares me. What are those engineers thinking? Even a braided steel line with a coupler would be better. Maybe someone will respond. I also need to look at the shop manual.
 
ya, I'm thinking the first thing that needs to be done is find out the circulation pattern on what all its doing.

Maybe the groups smart ones will fill in the blanks.
 
It's the oil return for the engine breather. Oil goes into the frame from the breather and gets returned via the sump bolt hose.

It isn't present on the 250 so the factory obviously found some reason for installing this system when developing the 310...
