Need fittings and line wd45

[chico1]

I need to make a line from the hydraulic pump (1/4 in pipe thread I believe) and to the gauge. What fitting gets screwed into the pump? 90 degree pipe to what? Thanks.

Hydraulic pump to gauge sounds like you are working on repairing a Traction Booster gauge installation.

I think the Traction Booster gauge lines used inverted flare ends. I am not sure on a WD45 but I thing the tubing is only 1/8" steel on my D14. It is high pressure so you need a good grade of tubing as that system is capable of around 3700 psi.

The traction booster gauge. The current line (1/4 in steel flare) is disconnected at the pump and the pump is plugged with a 1/4 (I think it is) pipe plug. Reading Jim.ME's response I am thinking the 1/4 line on there is cobbled up and it should be 1/8? The 90 fitting that goes in the pump is missing too. Sorry no pics, tractor is 45 minutes away.

Unless you are doing a OEM correct restoration, if you know the thread to put a fitting in the pump and one in the gauge you just need a tube or hose good for 4500 to 5000 PSI (operating pressure) to go between the two with your choice of ends based on what you put in the pump and gauge.

that is the reason i asked, as who knows what fitting and lines someone has now. so what is the hurry to get the line on now ?

1/8" pipe threads at the pump.

Because we are doing a strip, paint, repair on a new to us tractor.
