READ ME!
There are multiple options for hoses, threads, adapters, etc, but here is a quick list I put together that will get the job done. This list is assuming the ports on your cylinder match what I have listed and used in the video, which is SAE #8 O-Ring Boss, aka ORB (or -8, 1/2 ORB, 3/4-16 thread size). Hopefully this helps!
3/8 hydraulic hose with 3/8 pipe thread on each end, 36" long - Need 2 of these

3/8 pipe to #8 (1/2") O-ring Boss 90° Adapter (goes into cylinder ports and connects to one hose end) - Need 2

3/8 pipe to 1/2 pipe reducer (used to adapt 3/8 hose end to 1/2 pipe tractor couplers) - Comes in a set of 2

1/2" Ag Couplers ISO 5657 - Comes in a set of 2 so just order quantity of 1-

A FEW NOTES -
36" hose will be a little long but will work and probably give a few different routing options. 30-34" works well. 24" was too short for my needs.
You will need thread sealant on pipe thread joints. The O-ring boss connection at the cylinder uses the o-ring for sealing so no thread sealant needed.
