[AT] Help with hydraulic line

[Mike M]

Thanks for all the input guys, I took the advice and looked for a standard part at TSC, but as was mentioned, they didn't have one small enough. The guy working there directed me to a place that sold " a lot of fittings" and bingo they had it. Heck of a lot cheaper than the original Simplicity part also. Thanks again.

Mike:
you could order it from www.Surpluscenter.com, or find a local hose and 
fitting supply house and it should be less than $10. Graingers also 
has some of them. It is just a Male Swivel ORB to JIC fitting
