LS180 Auxiliary: Steel Tubes and Couplers missing

[TLCary]

The previous owner removed them and connected the two flexible lines together. I'm looking to replace them but can't figure out the part numbers. Messicks diagrams are pretty good, but I can not find them referenced anywhere. Also wondering if I could find some used parts, or if I can get away with just replacing them with flexible hoses and off the shelf couplers? I could fabricate a bracket... Any ideas?

I think you're looking for 16 & 17 and associated parts here. 41&42 are used if you're machine is a high flow machine and you want to have the option to use large or small couplers. That said, you can just run hoses (rated for the correct pressure). The advantage of the tubes is positioning and holding them to not rub on the cab and top pivot arm as the boom goes up and down. Couplers just need to match your attachment. If you can find a salvage machine that would be ideal. Where in the country are you located?

USA. Mountains of Tennessee. Thanks for helping me with this. I got lost in the diagram.

PS: Standard Flow ( 2,500 PSI 12 GPM. I think, would hate to get that wrong). If I can't find a used set I'll see if I have room between the cab and the boom to just run lines.

That sounds right for a standard flow.
NH LX865, LX885, LS180 and Deere 8875 should all be the same here. And I bet you could make tubes work from NH LS180.B, LS185.B, and L185 also.
I see Worthington Ag Parts have salvaged units listed in other parts of the country, but not really near you. Would have to talk to them about cost.

Any idea what size connectors these are? I took them apart to measure them.
The nominal size of the threads on the male are 1-1/6", Female nominal ID are 1", and the Hoses ID at the male connector are 5/8".
Saw some have different angles 37 or 45? I'm guessing these are some standard, common size connectors but I'm not familiar with them enough to know. Hoping someone could spot what they are at a glance. Thanks.

I'd say it's a -12 JIC. May be called a "dash 12" JIC, 3/4" JIC, ...
37 degree is about all you ever see in that vintage of US made equipment.
