JIC or NPT?

Thanks everyone. I was away for a few days but am back now and have decided that I will take one of the hoses with me when I go to town, just to make sure I get the right fittings.

Being Massey Ferguson is it possible these are metric? There are metric 30 degree flare fittings that look very similar to the JIC 37 degree flare fittings.

I'm in a metric country but have never seen a flared metric fitting. Some blocks use metric threads but they are not very common. Most common here is BSP, then JIC. BSP has 30 deg flares but they are negative (inverted to JIC ) so are easy to identify. There seems to be a JIS fitting with 30 deg positive flare and BSP threads, maybe thats what you mean? I have never found one IRL.

Komatsu uses a variation of JIS 30 that uses the same 30 degree cone, but metric thread sizes. Usually, this fitting is referred to as "Komatsu" but I have also heard people call it "Metric JIS."
