Fantastic! Thanks for the welcome, the offer for the parts, and the better location for my post. I'm not sure how I missed the Ford forum. My view must have been blocked by my colon. LOL.
I had no idea these engines were initially designed as diesels. Very interesting! That would help explain these fittings. I found a nut that I think would work, in an Eaton catalog. It's called a diesel nut! It's for 5/16 tube and has a 5/8-18 thread (part number 8112x5). Measuring the male compression/rubber seal fitting, I'm thinking it's the right size, but can't be sure without having one in my hands.
Yes, the fuel lines are all over the place! Fortunately, I have a little experience with figuring out how to route pipe (or in this case tube) from my time as an HT in the Navy. GO NAVY!
As Steve suggested, although before he suggested it, I routed the lines away from anything hot to reduce the chances of vapor lock. Fortunately, some of the tube from the tank to pump was still attached to the tractor so all I had to do was plumb from the tank shutoff to the remnants of tube to the pump. Then from the pump down to the bolster, across the timing cover, and back to where I'm placing the sediment bowl. A lot of measuring and bending, but it was a lot of fun! At least until I got to the fitting I can't identify.
I will certainly take you up on the offer for the fittings and tube. I don't really need the tube, especially since I probably don't have the sediment bowl in the same place as the factory. But I'll take it because I may bend some new lines to bring it closer to original routing.
I'll hit you up with a PM to coordinate for the parts. Thanks again.

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
