I had a similar problem with SS lines.  The only source I found for a
replacement (they use a British Pipe fitting) was one tractor dealer
locally.

Good luck.

Subject: [TR] oil cooler line gone!

Greetings,

Turned into my garage this evening and noticed a line of oil drops about
10 feet long!  Hummmm..  Then found a 1 1/2 - 2 cup puddle of oil under
the car..  Turns out that the longer of the two oil lines from the
adapter plate to the oil cooler rubbed against a frame member and that
last turn must have been final "rub" that caused the leak.

Didn't lose too much oil - maybe 2 cups+....

Does anyone have any experience replacing these oil lines?  I would like
to go to a SS braided line -

Appreciate any suggestions or BTDT answers...

Many tks..

Harve
