Yes something like that but you should be able to get an adapter to go straight from whatever you screwed into the plate directly to 3/4View attachment 740072 Just one question - is this the kind of adapter I require to switch up to 3/4" fittngs from 1/2"
I'd doubt that your tractor will have enough flow or pressure to cause any problems through a 1/2 return unless it was running at full engine revs
