Mark - I can see why you might not want hoses running everywhere but the factory steel lines from a salvage yard may not be the best solution either. If for no other reason than they might have been sitting there rusting for who knows how long.
If you want steel lines a local hydraulic shop should be able to bend them for you. If you don't care about keeping things looking stock you might be able to fabricate what you need and get things working with a lot less hardware.
I did that on my 404. I'm sure the purists would whine if they saw it, but my tractor now has two rear remotes, one with the factory double piloted check valve and two sets of rear couplers. All of that is mounted to a simple bracket in the rear that I fabricated. 4 short hoses connect it to the control valves.
It's a lot simpler and cleaner than the stock setup and I don't have hoses hanging everywhere. For my use it's a lot better than the stock parts even if I had been able to find them in decent condition.
