You want a CGA 347 nut and nipple to connect to the valve, and then a 4500+ psi rated whip with bleed valve and whatever NPT fitting your fill prob/connector can mate to on the other end. Usually 1/8" NPT if I recall.
Edit: You also may want a "T" coupling to add a gauge. Nice to have, but not completely necessary.

Anyone know what the cost of those gauges and whip are?
Can I use the setup on my current tank DIN 300 gauge and whip? Should I be able to just take that off screw it into the other tank?

I don't think that DIN 300 is directly compatible with CGA 347, but I could be wrong. You could probably get an adapter to convert if needed. Or, if you already have the gauge and whip, you could probably just swap the DIN 300 tank fitting for the CGA 347.
Be careful working around HPA if you're not familiar with it.

I appreciate the advice and hopefully it is compatible but if not I'll work around that.
Now the tank does not have a fresh Hydro but if it is in good shape should I feel pretty confident about my ability to fill it without a problem?

When you say it "does not have a fresh hydro" do you mean that that cert is expired (more than 5 years old?). If that is the case you should have it recertified. After all, what we call a "hydro" is not just a hydro test, it's typically also a complete inspection of the tank by a qualified professional. So if you don't quite know how to inspect a tank for fitness yourself, certainly best to have a pro look at it, and to gain a cert in the process. They're really not expensive...usually only $20-50 depending on your region, and often that includes a fill-up at the end.

DIN 300 is NOT compatible with your Scott tank, "Spartan" is correct. As stated, you need a CGA347 fitting. You can find it on Ebay complete with gauge, bleed valve & fill whip. Make sure whip is 6000psi rated. If your tank is out of hydro get it tested to be safe. The 30 or so dollars it costs is well worth the peace of mind. Watch videos, ask questions & learn SAFETY PROCEDURES! Good luck.

If that was my tank I'd unscrew the entire valve assembly and replace it with this one from Ebay. It comes complete and replaces that old fireman's valve.

There is a 15 year (DEATH DATE) expiration for that tank. I would first check to see if it's worth the trouble to even put money into it unless you have your own compressor to fill it...
