ABSTRACT:
An oil sump is disclosed for a structural engine of an agricultural vehicle. The underside of the sump is formed with a longitudinally extending downwardly concave tunnel to accommodate a propeller shaft. The tunnel divides the interior of the sump into two oil trays arranged one on each side of the tunnel. Oil passages are cast into the sump to connect the two trays to a common recirculation duct that leads to the intake side of the engine oil pump.
