Back in the late 50s and early 60s Ford had three remote valves to fit 100'a series tractors. I know I am old and senile but I sure I am correct since I worked at a dealer from 1957 - 1964. And to further solidafy my beleif, I started farming in 1964 with a 960 and a 860 and have had all three of them. A non detended single spool, a non detented double spool valve ,and the one in most parts book which is a dented single valve. There was also a lever operated valve that could be put on the single spool detented valve to make it function like a double dented valve. Had it also. .Now my questions. Where in any Ford book do you find any thing but the single spool detented valves or the selector? Also I would like to get some banjo type fittings that would except a 3/8s hyd hose along with the hollow bolt that fit the banjo fitting. These fittings were used on all of the above valves. Sorry for the long post, just hope some one understns this!
 
IIRC, the FO-20 manual has some information on the single and dual spool non detented valves, both of which I have. Also IIRC, the single spool detented valve is covered in the Ford service manual.

As recently as 5 or 6 years abo, the banjo fittings were still available from CNH. I bought 2 or three then. IIRC, they were around $36.00 (Banjo fitting only) then.

I can't say about all the valves.
I do know there were several types and brands - both Ford and aftermarket with or without detents.
As for the banjo fittings, when I bought the dual remote valve I have on my 3000 the hoses were pretty rough. I checked at the dealer for the fittings like you are looking for and as Dean says they were rather pricey though they did come with the hollow bolt.
What I did was go to my home town/rural Napa store and they sold me new hoses with the banjo fitting crimped on one end and a 3/8" npt fitting on the other for about the price of the dealer fittings. Then I reused the old hollow bolts with new orings.
 
I agree.. my 660 uses the banjo fittings and a few years back someone here, maybee rick gave me some banjo part numbers for replacement..e tc.
