    71 Ford 3000 diesel replacement filter housing fittings leak

    I bought 2 of these thinking I got a bad one the first time but they both leak. Problem is the tube nut bottoms out against housing before seating the flare.

    ‘71 Ford 3000 diesel - what are these 5/8-11 holes for?

    While freshening up my 71 Ford 3000 I run taps in all the holes to clean out years of stuff. I’m pretty sure the eight 3/4-10 holes on the sides of the tractor are for a loader frame. What are the two 5/8-11 on the front for? Weight bracket?
