[AT] Hydraulic fittings

[Dave Merchant]

This sure stirred up a good discussion.

I was originally asking about a 1951 Wagner loader.

It appears they thread into the cylinder at one end,
and there is a flare of some kind at the pipe end.
The ready made ones at TSC look like them.

Doesn't look like there is any thread compound or teftape
on the current hoses, but not sure.
