I didn't own it then.. and chances are, they were different threads for the fittings. (There are a few different types of standards for hydraulic hoses, including NPT, JIC, and several others. They're not interchangeable.)

I'm actually going to buy a few bulk loads of reusable (non-crimp) fittings and a bulk spool of hose (I think I can use SAE 100R1 or 100R2, I just don't know what size ID I need.) so that if I blow another line (very likely, given the age/condition of the lines) I can just make up another one then and there in a few minutes, bleed the system, and be done and ready to dig again.
