Sump Screen Magnet

[JD-Matt]

Wondered if any of you guys have ever used a magnet in your sump screen and what you thought of it. Our 4010's differential imploded and left us with a fair amount of metal filings in the transmission. Of
course I cleaned out all I could but I know there is still going to be some in the system. Just wondering if it would be worth the investment to put one in or if the filter will do the job well enough on its
own in catching what's left. Wondered if the magnet would restrict oil flow any as well. Thanks for your input.

I sometimes stick a cow magnet beside the screen to try and catch metal before it gets into the screen.

My E4 had a lot of metal from chipped gear teeth. I epoxied disc magnets to the three drain plugs, got them from home dweebo.

I'm with Cliff,, put a couple cow magnets in beside the screen,, try to keep all that you can on the outside of the screen. The velocity of the oil flow is stronger inside of the screen so less chance of build up passing on to the pump.
