The tank should have a male fitting comingout of it. New sediment bowl should be female. No fittings needed.

Check the hydro release valves too....

The tires are the same size that you listed. They don't make a 16.5x6.50-8. Someone typed wrong.
The ply rating doesn’t affect height. Not a noticeable amount anyway. 4ply is the usual ply rating.

Mesh. No tractor had a solid cover. That's an aftermarket replacement.
