SST18 transmission vacuum tubes

[elroy4455]

I have a SST18 which I love. I had a vacuum tee on the transmission tear and my local JD dealer cannot get the replacement vacuum tee and elbow from John Deere. The tee looks very similar to what Ford motor company used in the 80's on the emmision system and the Ford dealer found a tee and an elbow that are close but not exactly the same as the Deere part. Does anyone have any ideas where I can get a vacuum tee and elbow for my ailing SST18?

Autozone has a good supply in this area, I am sure they do most places. So does O'Reillys.

Most any plumbing supply or auto parts store should be able to come up with something that should work for you. NAPA auto parts would be my first place to check.

After a little digging, the vacuum tee and tubing are not needed. The older vacuum actuator had 2 vented ports (that need to be filtered) and were connected via a tube and tee. I simply bought 2 filters, one for each vented port and threw out the tee. The newer style and replacement vacuum actuator has two vented ports but of different types, which are not teed together. Thank you all for your advice.
