My newer JD5055d has remotes where one simply presses the male fitting into the coupler from the implement and to remove, pull out. My MF50 and a Ford 3000 have "rigged" remotes that have what look to me like large air hose quick disconnects. There is a hood with a series of balls that when the hood retracts, the balls loosen and the male hose come out. Aside from size/diameter, they look like something on an air compressor.
These newer remotes on my JD are a pain in the buttox to connect and disconnect. I've got the right male fitting on my haybine and last year with a seed drill that had a hydraulic lift. The male fitting is easy enough to attach, but unplugging can be very difficult.
I ain't getting any younger and between older age setting in, my hand grip not being the strength of a 30 year old (I think I've got some carpel tunnel setting in) and hydraulic fluid everywhere making for a slick everything....
I'm wondering if I can make a new to old hydraulic fitting/adapter as a go between using the older style hydraulic with hood and balls type fitting. Something where it's easy enough to push the hood back and release the fittings.

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
