Default Try your local heavy equipment or tractor dealer

Hi Paul


Last time I needed one (within last two years) it was an off the shelf part at my local heavy equipment and tractor dealer. Might also try some of the antique tractor online suppliers.


Cheers Phil

Yep, princess auto, or any hydraulic shop will have them. They are on most hydraulic tanks. Not sure how common National Pipe thread is over on your side of the pond, but on this side it is still the standard.

Thank you for your prompt response guys.

Does anyone in the UK know a supplier?

Cheers,


Paul

Thanks Richard I'll try your source but before doing so and whilst searching the internet I came across these two photos of what appears to be images of transfer case but the vent differs, is there any reasoning behind this?

I then went on to look at my butchered vent which might suggest it was squashed to enable it to be fitted below the chassis cross member.

Any experts out there that might shed light. I'm thinking I may have the wrong vent.

Cheers,
Paul
