It's a good idea Bob, but unfortunately, it wouldn't work, the thread diameter on the inlet port is such that if I enlarged it to 1" the threads would still be there, it would not be a smooth surface.thebuildist wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 7:17 pm The other thing to consider, and I know I'm willing to go farther off the reservation than most people are, is to consider mounting up your new pump in the lathe and bore it out identical to the inlet area of the old pump. And reuse that old inlet tube.
Again strength is totally not an issue. So even if it doesn't have a cast boss that's fully big enough for that, as long as The aluminum is at least a half inch thick, and the ID of what you bore out is the same as the id of the original pump, that inlet tube would seal without the slightest issue.
Just worth throwing out there...

Re: My new 644 arrived
Yes, the original fitting/tube is for a 1" hose, and I would also get one for a 1" hose, just that it would screw into the SAE #12 port. Once I get the fitting, I'll see if I can enlarge the ID. If it's easy to do and possible, sure, I would do it.thebuildist wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 7:13 pm
Now I've been thinking this whole time that the tubing part, the part with the barb / bump, is for a 1-in hose. Is it only for a 3/4 in hose? If so I think I would look for one for a 1-in hose. To me that would be the best way to make the transition from the one inch hose into the 3/4 SAE.

You can always paint over it down the road if you want.

Re: My new 644 arrived
@Harry all jokes aside, I do intend to bring it to the original yellow. As I've said before, no Case dealership anywhere near me, so for now it's better to have it protected. I intended to ask @Spike188 where he got the yellow paint for the backhoe restoration but just didn't get around to it. I will send him a message now.

Re: My new 644 arrived
Being the ABSOLUTE PURIST that I am, I am shocked. SHOCKED! and saddened that you would subject a genuine Case tractor to such conditions.
What gives you the right to paint it like that????

Re: My new 644 arrived
I do things like that to get a reaction from the purists. Like the fenders and tires on my 646! It backfired on me with members liking it, no negative comments.
