oil tank breather pipe

[John D]

I'm in the process of eliminating all possible dribbles and leaks on a rebuilt model 20. Can anyone tell me the correct route and end point for the oil tank breather. I think it might have to go up before it comes down, so as to avoid excessive drips?

[:)]Thanks,
John

You didn't give the year.

Silly me - 1955 - the year with a number of one off changes.[^]

John, you should have, from memory, a metal pipe about 3 1/2" long x 5/16" dia. bolted on one of the lefthand g/box mount plate bolts, approximately behind g/box sprocket, pointing down. The flexible vent hose is about 7 1/2"- 8" long and pushes over tank breather and then on top of metal vent pipe.
Hope this helps!.... Paul
