Got the filters and put them on today, took the line from the filter housing to the pump off to check the inline filter, noticed the fitting nut had been rubbed down into the fitting threads by the throttle linkage some time before I got the tractor, so I got the nut and new seals find out the fitting is no longer available, 5/16 OD tube with fine threads, gonna be tough to find, maybe Mcmaster-Carr.
Then could not get the fitting out of the housing, took it off the engine so I could heat it a little (brass fitting in aluminum housing) all I managed to do was round it off with visegrips, is now soaking in PB blaster.
Anyone have other ideas?
Also find out now looks like I have a pump for a turbo engine (mine is nonturbo) by the pics in the book.
