Hello James , Not much of a mystery with the pressure tube breaking on a Diesel equipped S.O.S. tractor it is very common in fact . Harmonic vibration from the diesel engine causes the cracks even in the sheet metal . Best bet is to get a used one from a gas engine tractor . Your patch job with hose will not last long or may not even work . Ford made the pipe rigid for a reason , so the o-rings will seal . They are not designed to wobble loosely which is what they will do will with a flexible connection under pressure . It is pretty hard to re-engineer factory parts unless you have engineering experience or severe off road or racing experience which can break anything revealing the weak points . Since you do not understand what a spline surface does or you did not say that you do and hopefully you will only be using your tractor as a show tractor because the whole purpose behind the fine spline input shaft is WEAR SURFACE on each of the splines which is a lot more than a hex shaft will ever be , just like stripping a 6 POINT BOLT HEAD with a 6 POINT SOCKET because you only have 6 DRIVING POINTS . It is the reason why Ford changed over to FINE SPLINE INPUT and OUTPUT SHAFTS on the TRANS. the PINION GEAR and the AXLE SHAFTS between the 600/800 series tractors and the 601/801 series tractors in 1958 . It took THOUSANDS OF HOURS to wear off all of those splines on that HARDENED INPUT SHAFT a hex will wear faster regardless of how hard it is . It is the same reason why AIRCRAFT use 12 POINT NUTS and BOLTS rather than 6 POINT NUTS and BOLTS they have more surface area so they can be tighten properly without stripping the head or nut surface . Thanks Tony

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Electronic Ignition - by Staff. Oil, for example has come a long way in the last 50 years and I don't use anything but the latest API grade available. I've heard the arguments for non-detergent oils but would never trade it for today's formulations. Paint is another, the modern acrylic enamels are great for resistance to grease and fuel stains, retaining their shine and they last forever; unlike enamels and lacquers . Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
