AC #3 mower questions

I recently learned from an AC collector I met at a tractor show that I have an AC #3 mower. Unfortunately, my mower has had a few modifications. My questions are:
(1) How did this mower originally attach to the tractor? Mine has been modified to attach to a 3pt. Does anyone have a good description or a picture of the original attachment so I can make the necessary changes?
(2) Does the #3 have two adjustment levers or just one?
(3) Is the #3 supposed to be raised/lowered by hydraulic cylinder? If so, how do you adjust a WD45 to run a cylinder instead of the arms?
(4)Where does the #3 fall in line with the 80 series mowers? Earlier, later? What tractor was it designed to run off of?

Thanks for the help!!

To hook a remote cylinder to the WD45 valve, look forward of the battery box, where the lift cylinder hoses attach to the valve. There is a third port there, has a pipe plug in it. Remove that plug, and attach your hose or pipe there. AC provided a pipe with remote coupler that went b ack to below the operator seat, with a brack to attach it to the differential housing/cover. #3 mower is older than the 80 series. I'm assuming the info I got from another collector is true- that mine is a #3. There is a u-shaped flat steel bracket that goes from one lower rear axle housing to another, crossing the drawbar (and clamped to it) just forward of the drawpin hole. On that long bracket is a shorter one, and the upturned ends of the mower frame attach to that with 5'8 inch bolts. The hydraulic lift cylinder mounts parallel to the pto shaft, and raises the cutterbar a bit off the ground. Transport position of the bar is obtained by manually lifting the bar and attaching a rod to hold it upright, like on other sickle mowers.
