their are a lot of different quick couplers out their. IH itself went through 3 types that i can remember possibly more. I beliebe the 2 tractors you have use ISO tips that are commonly used today. I believe the popit style was specific to IH. It didn't matter if it had a ball or popit they worked the same. In the 70's IH came out with a new style of quick connects larger then the old and the tractor couplers had a lever. The big advantage was that you could hook and unhook lines under pressure and the lines would self disconnect if a pin fell out. The big problem was they were only for IH, everyone else was using ISO. Eventually IH switched back as the newer CashIH and FiatIH tractors now use ISO tips.

Early tractors, 30+ year old tractors seemed to be more brand specific - JD had their own style of fittings but now use ISO.

So you need to know which tips you have and get new/used ones that match. If your having problems with tips it might be the female part attached to the tractor. Some of the new ISO female coupling allow for connecting and unconnecting under pressure.

My dad's IH 504 was probably the most difficult tractor to hook and unhook. The new style IH couplers 66 and 86 series tractors much easier - no comparison.
