[AT] Hydraulic line

Dennis Johnson moscowengnr at yahoo.com
Wed Apr 4 20:09:12 PDT 2012


Sorry for slow response.
This fitting appears to be a SAE straight thread on one end where the o-ring is, guessing 3/8 inch size
The other end appears to be either a JIC end or some similar tubing end. The size of this should be the same as the tubing OD it attaches to.
Generally these are found at hydraulic stores. I have seen a few at TSC, Northern Tool, Orcelands, etc.
Good luck
Dennis

> I have a '95 Simpilicy Sovereign Hydro that I use for lawn mowing. While working on it yestereday, I tried to loosen one of the hydraulic lines that run to the lift for the deck, and cracked the fitting.  The lift for the deck doesn't even work anymore, it only lifts the deck about 3/4" or so. The replacement part is about $25 for that little elbow, can anyone think of a way to engineer a creative repair? Can I just plug that hole, and leave the other line attached? I've included a link to some picture, to help illustrate what I'm talking about. Thanks for any help guys.

> I think most of those hardware items on Simplicity are off-the-shelf items, Mike.  The problem is finding someone who stocks the small size.  Most of the agricultural stuff is larger and isn't inventoried by outlets such as TSC, Rural King, etc.  You probably can find what you need at McMaster-Carr.

While working on it yestereday, I tried to loosen one of the hydraulic lines that run to the lift for the deck, and cracked the fitting.  The lift for the deck doesn't even work anymore, it only lifts the deck about 3/4" or so. The replacement part is about $25 for that little elbow, can anyone think of a way to engineer a creative repair? Can I just plug that hole, and leave the other line attached? I've included a link to some picture, to help illustrate what I'm talking about. Thanks for any help guys.
