Hey guys, any suggestions on where to get stainless steel tubing and compression union for the hutch mod? I need a pic of the pieces. I'm going to try my Aeroquip dealer this afternoon. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

local hydraulic shop, most will carry aeroquip or parker fittings, some will even bend it for you
I used flex line ss aircraft hose and fittings from aeroquip.
if your doing the hutch fuel return mod
the passenger side forward head npt fitting is a bear to remove.
a 12 point socket 5/16 if i remember correctly on a universal helps tons.
i installed a 45 degree elbow back in which made teh line fitting stand at a 90 degree relation to teh engine and about a 45 to the heads. made hooking up easier.

and the rear drivers head, depending on which elbow you ues. it you will unbolt the turbo donut thingy near teh rear of the head it gives you much needed acces to teh rear plug


i dont have any newer pics. sorry

McMaster Carr if you want to do mail order or any of your local industrial piping supply places should carry it. Aeroquip is more into hoses and connectors arent they?

hardest part is dropping the tank

My Aeroquip dealer is a small mom and pop hydraulic shop. They take care of me very well. Seems like I'm there once a week when we are full swing in the fields with various equipment. That's wore out!:roflmao Just don't know if they have the stainless tubing that goes through the foot.:dunno They carry Marine grade Parker fuel line that I'm going to use for a regulated return later. We'll see this afternoon.-popcorn

if you do all three
you will be absolutley amazed at the sound differences and smoothness of the engine.
you have the fpr shimmed and you felt a differnce. wait till you purge the heads on a continous basis.
WOW
it gets very addictive :D :D :D
