My Lincoln 175 was like that too, but it worked. Yes, you can put a different fitting on there. If there are pipe threads for the fitting, I suggest using some liquid teflon (PTFE). A pic would help.

Thanks. Yeah, there's just a female connection on the back. I'm not sure of the thread size at the moment, but that easy enough to figure out.

 

Fitting may be a flare type fitting vs a NPT pipe thread. Should be easy to tell since you have the hose that attaches to it. Flare fittings though are a bit harder to locate though. You may find something at your welding supply. Hydraulics shops also have a selection of flare types and sizes.

 

Here's what the hose looks like.

 

Ah, no reason for sealant on that guy then. You should be able to find something at your local hydraulics repair shop.

Wonder if Ace Hardware has anything. Dacula doesn't have much for shops.

I bought one of these, but I think i'm going to convert my welders to all quick connect fittings for gas and torch connections.

 

I'd like to see the pics when your done Gamble...
I'm looking into it, where will you buy the fittings??
