Power Steering Cooler For Use With Farm Tractor

Question:

I am looking at D13309 for my farm tractor. I need to connect to 2 hoses to this that are from the PS Pump on one side that is 11inch female end and another that is a 17 1/2inch male end. I can send photos. I measured the line to be about a 3/8inch that is on the current leaking one and the fitting nut takes a 3/4inch wrench. Since the tractor is 150 miles from here it is not something I can easily take somewhere. I have some photos on my phone if you would like I can email them.

My recommendation for your farm tractor is to make this easy for you because the unique fitting issues are already in play. I suggest using the Derale 4-Pass Tube-Fin Power Steering Cooler - 8-1/8" Wide, # D13212, which uses hose barb inlets and hose clamps. This kit comes with 4 feet of 11/32 inch rubber hose with all the necessary mounting hardware for a vehicle. Whether you go with the # D13309 or the # D13212, this is not a typical application, so some custom fittings will be needed. I recommend you find the appropriate fittings at a local hardware store to make your couplers and fittings work properly.
