Am making up new power steering lines on
this tractor.
Went to four different hydraulic houses
yesterday looking for a flare nut for this
3/8in fitting. No one sells one!
Finally the last place I went to the guy
measured the flare angle with a special
tool and told me it is a regular type of
fitting like you hook up your water heater
or barbeque grill. Get one at Menards.
Sheesh!
Additional info:
Fitting in photo is factory silver soldered
to the back end of the reservoir.
It is the return line so little or no
pressure.
Flare nut I bought is brass.
Question:
Do I double flare the line?
Thanks!
