The Humane Society has been using this old Kubota 5030 to spread manure and haul fenciing, etc. But has never used the hydraulics. Now they have an old Perfect W rotary mower with a swing arm that can cut under 4-board fences, but it has a hydraulic arm. So now I am trying to make the hydraulics work.

Pictured is the coupling block at the rear of the tractor, with the exit ports unused for decades, and were full of dirt. I cleaned it up, but suspect they are rusted and unrepairable. So, what do I use instead?

Try inserting a male tip into each couple. They may very well be fine.
