farmall C hydraulic line 404 oil dipstick conflict

IHCC51 · Mar 25, 2018

I have recently began putting a farmall 404 engine in a 1951 farmall c because I thought it would bolt right up. Well my latest issue is the oil dipstick from the 404 engine - casting # 375596R1 - is in the same spot as the touch control metal lines from the hydraulic pump need to be. Has anyone ever had this problem? is there somewhere I could get a custom line? Is there somewhere I could get a custom dipstick tube? Any advise would be helpful. I need the extra horsepower to pull a finish mower and the hydraulics to operate the same. Thank You Steve

Replace the steel lines with rubber.braze fittings to the lines to accept a hose.Or,if it will fit,use the SC oil pan. with petcocks,you don't need a dipstick.

Thank You DeltaRed, I have some fittings ordered for the lines. The oil pan part numbers did not match up.Steve
