    Posted: 26 Mar 2025 at 10:15am
Previous owner disconnected the traction booster gauge and then pinched off the hydraulic oil line right after the square 90 where it taps into the hydraulic system.  The hydraulic line that was pinched off is 1/8" steel tubing the traction booster side uses 1/4" tubing.  I am needing help with figuring out the transition from 1/8" steel tubing to 1/4" steel tubing? Also can't find a source for 1/8" steel tubing?

If you go to a NAPA store you should be able to get whatever size tubing you need from brake lines. then cut and make whatever you need.

I got a new line from Agco a few years back. It was expensive (over $100 I think), but it had all the bends and fit perfect. Afterwards, I wondered why I wasted money on it because it's pretty much useless anyway.

Appears that the guage end is just a compression style fitting with a brass ferrule and the larger nut. The opposite end is a double flared connection like a brake line.
