Where does this pipe go? (LX565)

[Straydog]

I'm trying to re-install an engine into a LX565 and because I wasn't the one who originally pulled it apart, I'm having a few issues figuring out how its meant to go back together. After the hydraulic filter, there is one pipe that goes to the oil tank. There is another smaller 90 degree flare pipe fitting, near the pressure switch. Where does this go?? I have a flexible pipe that looks like it should attach to that point, but it is connected to another flexible pipe via a T piece. That means both the T piece and the other flare fitting would attach somewhere. I've looked everywhere but can't see any places it could attach. Any help would be appreciated. I've looked at the diagram in the LS160 manual but it appears to be a bit different.

Not sure what you have, but the fitting you reference is for the charge pressure for the hydrostat pumps. The hose goes from this fitting to the back plate of the rear hydro pump. There is a tee there and a line goes from there to the backplate of the front hydro pump.

So if you are looking down on the pumps from inside the cab with the seat removed, should these 2 points be visible? I've looked but can't see anything. Are the connections on the side of the pumps?

Actually, I've come to the conclusion that the pipes I was trying to find a place for were not part of this machine. They were bundled with it when I bought it but it seems don't belong to it. That is why I was confused. I have found the charge pressure hose and connected it between the hydrostat pumps and the flare fitting near the filter. Thanks Mike10. I do have another question though..... The fuel filter that is described in the manual as the "water trap" is missing on my machine. The mounting is there so I was hoping to use a generic spin on type filter rather than buy a new genuine part (parts in Australia are expensive) Is this "water trap" like a standard spin on type filter or is there more to it? Could I just us a standard screw on filter instead?

The fitler has a bleed screw at the bottom. Looks like a wing nut. Loosening this will allow the water to bleed out of the filter
