Are these hoses hooked up correctly?

My fast hitch hydraulic hoses are hooked up like these in the picture that I found online. Is this correctly connected?

Hydraulic hoses
 
The cylinder is mounted differently than mine, mine is vertical. As to the hoses, I can't tell,if they are reversed it just changes the direction you move the lever -- that could mess up the tel-a-depth, if you have that, but I'm not sure.
 
That tractor has a double action check valve and hoses are hooked correctly. If the hoses were reversed with a teledepth it would not raise and lower. The first 460's had single action check valve and then the lower hose would be hooked in to the left lower port which is just a block brazed to end of hyd pipes. If you don't have teledepth, and do have double check valve you could hook hoses either way and it would work but the hitch is supposed to raise when you pull the lever back, opposite of the 400 tractors.
 
Thank you for the picture matt1983. Shows just how they should be.Knew what I wanted to say on your previous post just got my ports mixed up. Must be getting old.
Back to your problem, in the early 60's worked of a 560 with the same probled. Went through the teledepth valve regulator and follow up linkage. Had it so fine tuned you could just barley move the teledepth lever and the hitch would respond & go off pressure. Just go out and put it to work & would go on high pressure & heat up the system. Found the check block had enough wear in the piston bore the oring could not seal. Replaced the check block & no more problem.
