Long 460 Power steering fittings

6.7LMegaCab · Mar 26, 2021

What size fittings are on the powersteering? I need to replace the lines, but only one line has the correct fittings. The other line leaks because of a mismatch in parts.

Any ideas on what I can do? Where can I find the correct fittings?

Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.

Not certain why I couldn't post, so I kept editing everything which took out all of the background info. I am basically trying to figure out what fittings is needed for a new hose and if there is a way to convert to JIC fittings?

I guess it's the pictures?

I had to get one made for my Oliver 1365. That one's a Fiat built and I believe the Long is too isn't it? That one has British Pipe
threads. The guys at the shop where I had it made almost missed that. They'll start to thread on to a standard pipe thread, but
there's one more thread per inch. When he tried to thread it all the way on, it started to bind up. I think he said it was Komatsu
or something that used that thread too.

Thank you for the info! From what I can find, it is also related to Fiat in some way and that's what the hydraulic guy mentioned. Everything else uses standard JIC fittings, so why not this one part...or at least make the fittings on the cylinder swappable instead of brazed/welded.

I'm going to take the hydraulic cylinder off this morning and take it into town. I'll mention Komatsu as a possible alternative to see what he can dig up.

Did you find anything? I have the PS set up off a 460.The PS fittings off an Oliver are not the same BTW.

No, well not exactly. I reached out to Longparts.com that just said it's not made anymore and will have to retrofit something. I've been researching to the moon and back and it dawned on me that I can get a 1.5" bore x 14" stroke double action cylinder with the swivel ball tangs and make a U-bracket with a nut welded on the end to thread the tie rod end into it (use a second nut to lock it in place) and drill 3/4" holes through the bracket to accept a 3/4" pin.

Prior to that I was just trying to find a cylinder with a 1" rod on one end to thread, to no avail.

With that, I'll be able to use JIC fittings on the cylinder side, remove one of the screw on repair hose fitting with the correct threads from one end of the good hose, build another hose with that fitting and put one of the JIC hose repair fittings that I have on either end of both hoses.

So, it would be JIC on one end and BSPP fittings on the other end (tractor side).

I just read your post again. I depends on what setup you have. It seems like depending on the year and maybe options, there are 3 different versions if I recall.
