If you don't want to source parts, take the hoses off and into a place that makes hydraulic hoses, tell them what fluid you are using (diesel fuel). They have all the correct fittings to clamp on and can clone them.
Congratulations and welcome. I say add 1/4 tank of diesel fuel, check the oil, spray a 3 second blast of starting fluid in the intake, hold the pedal 1/2 way down, and crank it. Need pics!
