Let痴 see if this works

My hoses on the vale have ends like side 2 in the attached picture. So, I need some kind of female adapter to connect to the gauge.

When I bought my Ford 420 industrial backhoe I was having similar problems, It turned out to be the suckshun hose collapsing It was long so I replaced it with exhaust pipe that I had a muffler shop bend and a couple short pieces of the correct hose. also , for your fitting problem , can you drill and tap for a small fitting in the flat on that fitting? I don't know how big it is, so that might not be possible. Good luck .

Ok, so I finally got a pressure gauge and some fittings to put the gauge in the curl circuit. When the tractor is cold, I get about 1800psi max. I used the loader quite a bit on Saturday, when hot the pressure was about 1200psi. It was all it could do to pick up a 1000lb hay bale. I feel like the pump is wore out. What do y誕ll think?

Just wanted to provide an update to this. I purchased a used pump for the tractor and now I知 good to go! It makes 2000 psi all the time. The machine is much easier to use and I don稚 have to run as many RPM to use.
