I've ordered several hoses and fittings from Surplus Center when I was installing the third function controls on my Massey Ferguson FEL. # years now without any issues.

You don't need to insult me; I can assure you that I have read every post on this thread and I understand how each component works. Glider thinks the picture shows zero pressure with the fan off (disengaged). It actually is past 100 psi to around 110.
