l have a 1959 Big-Mo 400 M I already installed the Apli-Torque (totally different tractor now) lm in the process of installing a tele-flow but dont know any specifics-I have 3 control levers and 2 metal levers(I know not what they're for)also it has 2 openings in the front,one must be fore the pressureside from the pump(but which one ?) and 2 quick disconnects ,but 3 levers is cofusing,1 must be fore the 3 point that leaves 2 for remotes ,which would make sense if I had 4 quick disconnects, can you moline guys shed light this for me
 
Assuming that you have a later style that used external plumbing, the Pressure from the pump goes in the bottom center of the valve housing cover using a special tube with an o-ring on it. The fitting in the upper left of the valve housing (toward the lift cylinder) is the return from the power steering. There should also be a ~1" tube sticking out of the lower left corner of the lift housing where the filter gets the oil that goes to the pump inlet. The pressure for the lift system & power steering will come from the flow divider on the rear of the pump. A picture of the unit would be nice to be sure you have this type. There are 4 ports on the right side of the valve housing, 2 for each of the 2 remote handles. Many times only one set is used to operate one cylinder or it could be setup to operate 2 single acting cylinders, one on each handle. An IT manual is your friend when doing what you are doing as it has pictures & descriptions.
 
Being a military it is hard telling what you have. My best guess is that you will have to remove everything above the diff housing and set a telo-flow 3pt unit on the tractor. Pictures from various angles would be most helpful.

The two small levers under the seat or on top of the unit are the "Rate" and "Cycle" levers. The cycle is for the draft sensitivity of the 3pt and the rate lever is for the rate of drop. The 3 levers on the right hand side of the unit are: Outer lever- 3 point hitch, middle and inside lever are for hydraulic remotes for cylinders, either single or dual acting, just depends on how you connect the hoses.

That is a later style system that uses external plumbing. Pressure goes in the male JIC fitting on front at bottom center. If you don't have power steering, you can plug the hole on the top left corner of the plate on the front of the valve body. The oil should go from the pipe or hole on the left rear bottom of the lift housing to the filter then to the hydraulic pump. If you don't have power steering, you will need to remove the priority valve from the adapter on the back of the pump. The two couplers are on one of the remote circuits. The other remote circuit would use the hole with the hex plug and the open hole beside it.
 
thank you, this is my plow tractor, l wish it had power steering, maybe my next venture, but wouldn't there be a return line ?
 
had it on and off 4 times ,its on now but l gotta take it back off (actually lift up abt an " ,so l can unscrew a stud l put to deep)1st time l put it on and lined it up l found the bolts wouldnt fit due to clearance vs length ,try #2 l didnt make the studs long enough,try #3 the stud l used in back left wouldnt screw in deep enough cuz the belt pulley knockout,abt 1" too long so cut it down#,try # 4 front left now says its to long so l switch it with back right,where I am now is I gotta raise it abt 1" so I make the right back stud a little longer. Wouldnt be nearly so bad if l didnt go 90 mile an hour and forget abt doing things the right way.nope not me ,good thing practice makes perfect
 
all that and I find out that its not the right pump.It sits a quarter " too high ,cause the top link area to rest on it.since I cannot afford the right pump(I will save up to get the right one) I'm putting flat washers under the teleflow to shim it over the pump,im not the sharpest tool in the shed ,but I can do the job
