Not sure why they would leave them out other than to confuse us

Again, thanks for all the advice. Here are the pictures. The TLB is branded as a Lodi 815 which I understand is either a clone of a Terramite or a rebadged version of the same. One cylinder had a broken cylinder eye and a ripped out mount on the same cylinder. I rewelded both. I recently switched from Mig to flux core and until now had not quite gotten the knack for it. Well with some strong light and actually wearing glasses so I could see, I think I did better than expected.
As far as the original purpose of this thread, I found the NPT swivels at a local tractor dealer at $3 per fitting. Turns out that I did not need them as both sides of all hoses (so far) had swivel fittings and none broke (so far). Though my friend gave me a slew of new hoses to replace the old ones, only a few worked out. I bought some from Discount Hydraulic Hoses custom made and hope to get them before the weekend. I'll let you know how it turns out.
