Are the power steering lines [one marked with blue line ] brake lines?

Yes, same as brake lines they sell at NAPA, etc. They have lines that are somewhat more flexible (easier to bend and shape) than the standard ones. They are kind of a light gold color instead of typical bare metal color. A 7/16" flare nut wrench is handy for this job. When my p/s line started leaking from a fatigue crack, I just replaced from the cylinder to an easy to get to place and used a coupler as shown in the pic.

Thanks, showcrop. I couldn't for the life of me remember its proper name. Rated for the same p.s.i., so no problem.
 
Hobo,
Found a ford tractor dealership that sells rubber hose replacement for the metal lines. part number: UF03260
 

If its what you want that's OK I understand, I don't want that I want steel it does help I can do it and justify the tooling needed to copy the original...

I'm with Hobo,NC on this one. I ended up using an old coil spring I found to slowly shape the "U" bend where the line goes to the end of the cylinder. If I do this again, I'll be a big spender from the east and buy the $8 tool.

Alright, I've never seen the type like the amazon link. Might be handier than the type I'm familiar with. Both Pittsburgh tools, which are good enough for me and the 15 minutes a year I'd be using them.
