Those that skidsteer directed you to will work , be aware that they are 1/2 npt and you will probally need new adaptor fitting to match up to a newer attachment as 3/4staright pipe boss oring is he norm ------also I find that after market source on the attachment end quick couplers are not much cheaper than the dealer on the new flat face style ----- there are adaptors out there that will convert one to the other , they are expensive and stick out further which increases the chance of breaking the couplers on the machine , thecouplers on machine are very expensive, easy to break and only OEM , a set of new style flat face that screw into the manifold on front the machine with tax around here is right at $250 ---another route I have used on machines that do alot of demo is to fab a bracket to replace the vavle/manifold which holds the couplers on machine and install bulkhead fittings to use the old style couplers which were a lot cheaper and alot tuffer to break
