Conduit for PTO cable on SOS

The PTO feathering cable conduit on my tractor has some inner damage that doesn't allow the cable to operate smoothly. Ford has the new part (#312454) but I believe I should be able to put something together for significantly less than $60+. My cable appears to be in good shape, the current conduit appears to be brass? I know the 22.34" length is crucial, is there something I can use, possibly brake line or some other tubing to replace this conduit?

TIA Chris

You should snap up that conduit while you have the chance. Some S-O-S PTO cable conduits are much much more expensive than $60 and others are no longer available.

Thank you for the reply. I'm just getting started with this tractor and could easily have 9 more similar difficulties. That turns into hundreds of dollars. I just got a 1/4" brass tube and nuts. It has a little thinner wall, but if I can flare the ends at all and it bends ok (not a lot needed) I will have saved over $50 and not had to wait on CNH. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the info. The brass tube I got is relatively thin and I can see heavy use causing wear. I'm only going to use the tractor around the "hobby" farm and don't expect to use the PTO more than 15-20 times a year. We'll see how it goes.
