Swing Radiator in Texas

[Mike Hohnstein]

Or you can use dry break hydraulic quick disconnect fittings and save the hassle
of stowing and the chance of abrasion damage to excessively long lengths of
hose. 3/4" NPT is the size and the cost is reasonable.

Chuck. I'd appreciate any pics but don't work too hard finding them. I
hope to take a trip up your way in the next 60 days and will contact you
to see if you're available then. Tom Warner wrote to me saying that a
lot of hastle can be saved, with the hydraulic lines, by installing a
Hayden transmission cooler. Thanks. henry@... , 1979 FC
