Powersteering plug (400 Farmall)

Where can I find a replacement plug (goes into the last valve just before the tower) for my 400? I saw a pic on here a few month ago, but danded if I can find it. Mine is "sloppy" in the hole and I suspect oil is bypassing back down into the tank and not getting to the priority valve. I know there is an "O" ring on it, but the whole thing is loose, not just the ring. If memory serves, they're about 20 bucks or so.

I had to pay $30+ and shipping on eBay for this one. I was thinking of giving it to a machine shop and having them crank out a few dozen.

You can also tap the manifold/steering post for a pipe thread and plug it with a recessed 1/4" NPT plug. D Slater offered this suggestion last year.

I think all you need is a new O-ring on the plug or existing valve or both if you can't tell where the failure is.
