anyone know it Paasche and Badger use the same hose fitting? if so I might have a chance.

I do not think so, if I recall correctly the Paasche fitting is larger than the Badger fitting.

Go to a good hardware store and look in the area having the hard copper and brass fittings for running natural gas / propane lines.  That's where you'll find what you need, plus that's also the section where you'll find the teflon tape.

Try to find a plumber or a HVAC person who might have the proper fittings. Preferably copper, but galvy will work in a pinch. Use Teflon tape on the threads.
