JD 1760 planter help.

I have a no till 1760 12 row vacuum planter with air bags. This year I am adding liquid to it - two 200 gallon tanks. I purchased the manifold ball guages to monitor flow to each row.

Here's the problem: instructions. There was literally a paragraph telling how to mount the tanks. Got that done. There is no recommendation as to where to mount the black box that contains the pump or the manifold let alone instructions. There are random parts but I can't decipher where they are to be mounted. The outside three units fold in on each side making the deal more complicated. It's a pretty tight squeeze with those monstrous markers swinging around above the tanks.

Does anyone have a 1760 with liquid that could share some knowledge or pictures of pump placement and manifold location? I got the kit through Sprayer Specialty and they printed off what they had - it was meager (the mounting instructions). I'm thinking the $100 an hour install option was a deal at this point.
 
I'm sure I wont have it done by then. I have the tank on one side. I will mount the other tomorrow
and work on the cab controller. A pic would be awesome - thank you!
 
I can't recall the brand, but the row units are liquid on the seed firmer. You have your choice of a
splitter or direct on the seed placement - it just depends where you plug in the tubing. The tank
and pump supplier supplies up to the row units and it ends with an intisiphon valve. From there on
it is the row unit.

Variable pressure 12 volt pump. Ive got an implement switch to figure out - no instructions with
that either.
 
It the implement switch just a bump switch? If so it probably mounts to a row unit parallel arm so that when you raise the planter and it hits skin below the box and shuts it off.
