toolz: I think just about any quick couplers that will plug into and match each other will work. Like you, I forget the details, but remember getting into some quick couplers that wouldn't work with the couplers on my 560 and 656 back in the late 60s. Some had point while others had a ball, some wouldn't plug in and seal, while others would plug in and seal, if you lowered a heavy implement quickly one side of the ball and point would stop flow of oil. Seemed as though ball or point would seat if oil flow was fast. I remember having one set that worked well at idle with no load on cylinder, but soon as added weight of disk or plow plus high rpm, bingo it would lock. I remember another set worked well on pickup or corn head of forage harvester where springs carry most of the weight, yet they wouldn't work on plow or disk with much heavier hydraulic loads. I remember one spring throwing all the mismatches away and going to IH dealer for couplers to match factory originals on 560 and 656.
