NCMau 01-18-2013 11:37:40 174.110.228.151 Report to Moderator	There a leak from one of the banjo fittings in the power steering valve, Part# 1 751 875 M1. The thread that connect to the hose is somewhat stripped. According to the MF dealer, that part is no longer available. I emailed AGCO and they didn't even answer, so I assume they don"t have it. I can't believe that a common banjo fitting is non-existing. There must be a source somewhere. I did some googling but I didn"t come up with anything. Can anybody point me the right direction? If this part can not be found, is there a way that I can fix this thread? One solution I was thinking was to epoxy or braze an extension (male/female) to the fitting. Maybe you guys have some words of wisdom. [Reply]   [No Email]

I'll send them to you for the cost of shipping which shouldn't be too much. [Reply]  [No Email]

The one I need the most is 3/4" thick and the other one (7/8") I can use it too. Shoot me an email and let me know how much you want and I'll be happy to oblige. Thanks. [Reply]  [No Email]

This was a few years ago now but I think I spent somewhere around $500-600 for everything. One thing that reduced my cost a great deal was a great deal I found on E-Bay for a used Char-Lynn power steering valve. For $135 I got the valve, steering shaft, steering wheel and 4 6' lengths of hydraulic hose. Here is a link to a video I made explaining some of it. http://youtu.be/aXM-ISkLfjQ [Reply]  [No Email]

Too bad they were all broken off of my 202 because I removed all the old factory stuff when I put together a fully hydrostatic power steering system for it. I will have a look to make sure but I am pretty sure they were all snapped off at the valve body. [Reply]  [No Email]

I didn't realized there are that many shapes of banjos, some even look like commodes. If I am not mistaking, the JIC-06 (nominal 3/8") has a male thread of 3/8"-18, which is the same for 3/8 pipe. Even though the pipe has a taper, I'm still not sure if I can use it for the JIC fitting as well. It would be great If you do have a usable banjo fitting. I'll be more than glad to take care the expenses. I love my 202. It did have lots of issues, but little by little I took care most of them. Can you give little info on your fully hydrostatic power steering? It is interesting as much as expensive. Please email or post it. Thanks. [Reply]  [No Email]

The fitting in question is the #1. Behind the bolt the fitting is 3/4" thick. I made an attempt to fix the problem by epoxing the extension adapter(#2) to the stripped fitting. The epoxy seems to be holding okay but it is leaking on the other end because the extension is a 45 deg. flare gas fitting and the mating hose is 37 deg. I had the brass extension on hand, so I figured I give a try. So, I suppose the different flare degree and/or possibly the hose fitting are damaged. I would much rather find a source for a new banjo fitting, but if I have no choice, I'll use a suggested practical solution that is better than mine. [Reply]  [No Email]
