I believe that is a tube nut with inverted flare for 1/2" tubing.
My Weatherhead catalog states this should be a 3/4"x18 thread fitting. The
problem is that the inverted flare means you need a specialty tap to clean
the threads and not nick up the flare part of the female fitting.
I would suggest you check to see if there is a hydraulic line repair
shop in your area; they just might have the special tap needed to chase the
threads or know other options for fixing your part.
If you can find a similar tube nut you can cut slots down the length
of the threads to make your own thread chaser and clean up those threads.

Subject: [Tigers] Remote Filter Part Repair?
I was late seeing the auction that just finished on e-Bay (thanks to those
who suggested it). The reason I'm looking for the part is that I managed to
screw up the threads in the fitting that the filter seats against. I'm
talking about the female threaded part that the end of the "short" hose
threads into.
Has anyone repaired that part using an insert or some other method?
Otherwise, I'm still looking for a replacement. I'm starting to restore our
Mark I and this is just one of a 1000 things on my list.
Thanks,
Bill Waite
