I believe this will work also, it fits a 1/2" hole. Confirm before you buy one though. You can use your fitting, with their grommet.

The new part number from Deere is M149638. It will be an orange color and has 2 flats on the large diameter. They are about $2 each here. Shadetree power sports has about the cheapes price I've seen but by the time you pay for shipping it's more than $2.

They are also used on many lawnmowers, like Toro, Snapper, MTD, ect.

My speculation is that the orange material might tolerate the ethanol a little better. Only installed it 6 months ago, so time will tell.

I think I installed mine around March of 2010 if I remember correctly. Looks good so far.
