help teach the newbie

Inherited the disc w/ the farm this past fall. Started by cutting the trees that were growing through the disc (14' tandem) - used the skidloader to roll it back far enough to set the axle down - put the 656 on and pulled it out of the grove. I found a hydraulic cylinder on a plow that the previous owner said he had used the year before w/ the 656 (can't find the hose). The cylinder has 2 ports (one has a plug in it - single acting?) the other has the same male end as the hose on my barge wagon. I need to get a hose - maybe 6-10 feet long to use on this guy - what are the 'terms or specs' for the ends - what should I expect to pay? Are IH ends all the same - I remember as a kid, my dad always needed an hydraulic adapter to use our manure pump w/ the neighbor's Case tractor.

Also - what else should I do to the disk as it was put away 5-6 years ago in working condition? (found out the wheel bearings were out last night)

Still learning, Thanks guys - Eric
