Found that line with a part number of 70228425.
Than looking at the long line going to the back has job weld patches…
That one has a part number of 70229059

If you can't find a new or used one, you can make one.
I made a lot of new ones for my WD45. You may need to use a little different fittings than original but no one will notice. You could probably go to about any mechanic that does brakes too and have him make and flare you one.

Are they a double flange? I’m not very good with steel line…
I have All States Ag Parts looking for them and they found the long one but was having trouble finding the short one I think it’s was. Maybe Heitman Tractor Salvage would have them? I seen they had a lot of d17s listed on their website.
Got to looking at the long one and the other guy tried to jb weld it…
Wonder how long that would’ve lasted..

Inverted flare. A quality tool should form that fine.

What kind of material is best?
How thick?
I’m pretty sure the original is steel…

All states ag found some good used ones for me!!
I tried some local shops around and they told me they have never seen that big of brake line before…
Got them yesterday and put them on, no hydraulic leaks!!!

Had to order front wheel bearings due to one being rusted pretty badly and the other worn out very severely.
Should be in tomorrow sometime.
I think this project is getting wrapped up now thanks a’ll for the patience and help!!!,

The owner of that D-17 must have patience and understanding to rival Job!!! In a lot less than 7 years, I'd have been in the supreme court or prison!!!

55Allis did a great job. I'm very happy with my tractor. Now to small claims court to try and recoup some of the money the last guy cost me.
