Not trying to slam you but you need to get up to speed on hoses and fittings to protect yourself. Based on your description and photo it sounds/looks like you got a 59" hose with pipe thread fittings (at least the end shown) for about $100.00. Tractor Supply, and likely others (Surplus Center, Baum Hydraulics, etc.), sell a 60" x 3/8 hose, with pipe thread ends, for about $20.00. You can research hoses and adapter fittings at Surplus Center's website, they have quite a selection. Pipe and JIC are likely the most common types, followed by the O-ring boss fittings. Hopefully the next shop you go to can do better by you.
As for getting male pipe thread swivel hose ends I would not unless it was the only way to fit in a "hole". There is more chance of those fittings weeping from the swivel area over time, and they are usually more expensive. I would ask for an adapter like the photo below, which can be used with another hose in the future if needed. Male pipe thread to screw into the valve or cylinder, with a female swivel to accept the fitting on the hose end. These should seal to the hose fitting in the center, not the threads on the swivel side, and don't need dope or tape. The male pipe thread end of the adapter that threads into the valve or cylinder would get dope or tape applied. JMHO, good luck. Jim

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
