What remote system do I have here?

[mhaserodt]

This is a new to me 1978 Ford 3600. I picked it up at auction so there wasn't a whole lot I was able to ask about it. I've never had a tractor with remote hydraulics so I'm trying to figure out what I have here and what I'd need to use it.

Near as I can tell I don't have quick disconnects, is there an adapter to switch it to QDs, should I just change the hoses to ones with QDs, or leave it as is?

Kinda sorta seems like something called a Ford Double Breakaway Connector...

Maybe...

Regular 1/2 inch ISO male tips will plug right into those female couplers.

Further to RickB, the male couplers are intended to be yanked out without doing any damage such as when you forget to disconnect an implement's hoses and drive off.
