I am not sure what you are asking in your title.
You need hoses that will have correct fittings for your top link connections, and correct couplers for the SVC you connect to.

Look for any numbers stamped on the couplers you want to match to.

Either type will work, best to match what you have on the female end though. Just look down in the female end and see if there is a ball in the center or a nipple. I believe that it is a nipple.

Did you mean ball or "poppet" for the male tip?

I meant ball or poppet. People not familiar may not know what a poppet end is though.
What did you end up with? I have the same tractor and I have a had a hard time finding info on a top and tilt kit for this tractor.

If you want a complete top & tilt set, I can build it for you.
I doubt that you will find any off the shelf sets for your application.
You can probably find an off the shelf top link that will work, but not ideal for your application.
Take a look at this link, get the asked for dimension and find a working length with the asked for dimension close to the extended length half way if you decide to get an off the shelf top link.
