[AT] pipe threads

[Mike Sloane]

Speaking of odd fittings, I am rebuilding an IH 2001 (early '60s era) 
loader to go on my Farmall 560, and the fittings on the ends of the 
hoses going to the cylinders look like JIC (straight threads and O 
rings), but I am not convinced they are. Does anyone know if they are 
standard or proprietary?

It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be
unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong. -G.K. Chesterton,
essayist and novelist (1874-1936)
