That's what I thought, hence the filler neck adaptor, it's worked great for 6 years with no problems at all.doubt a spool return line will be a proper free flow return though as will still have back pressure from going though a filter or from other oils returning from the block?
Already got the male coupler on drill and a female coupler to connect onto it. Just got to get the adapter for the correct port to female coupler for now. Drill will only be used on the tractor this spring.
Does the oil not need to be returned back below the oil level to prevent froth ?
So it is bound to be right thenIts the return port JD use for TLS and front loader.
Only reason I asked was when I returned oil into the back of my massey, through the correct port on the top cover it filled up with frothI think it combines with the spool returns,goes through filter and then returns below the oil level.
Therefore there should be no air to froth.
As somebody said its not a true free flow but it is filtered and less back pressure than going back through a SCV.

It is on a DeutzFree flow returns should come standard on every tractor!
Does make me wonder rather than fitting ISO couplers, which are particularly rubbish for collecting err rubbish, why tractor manufacturers don't simply fit 3/4" flat face for all spool fittings. They are a superior coupler in every way over leaky ISOs.View attachment 285402

I came up with this. 3/4 "flat face coupler next to the brake outlet.
Flat face is a much better solution for a free return due to higher flow and less resistance.
does anybody know if theres anywhere to plumb in a free flow return on a JD 5080m? I've looked and cant see anything obvious
Nope looked in there last night,seems you can't fit one so smarts are going to fabricate something for meNothing in the operator's manual?
