Front 3pt hitch on 55 series tractor?

I am going to be putting a European front hitch back on a 4455 that I suspect had one on it when it was brought back home. The front frame rails show signs of something being bolted to it other than a loader. I only have 2 SCVS on the tractor, which won't be enough to do all than I am planning to do with it. I have been looking at this port on the rear lift valve housing in the picture below. I haven't put a gauge on it, but it looks to be in a place that could actually provide a oil, for power beyond. Our 8440 had a tap in that part of the rear housing to provide oil to another set of valves. I was hoping someone on this site has had enough experience with European deeres to know what this capped fitting is for. It would be foolish to buy a power beyond block, if this port will provide flow. I was going to run standby pressure to the nose of the tractor and use a solenoid valve bank to work the lift and provide two more remotes on the front. I've got pushing snow and packing silage on my mind, with quick detachment. I mounted on old Deere blade on the front last winter, but it was a pain to mount and dismount, not to mention the fact those old blades and mfwd doesn't work well together. Hope someone can identify this port in the picture
