Where does the lift circuit block plug go? Does it go in the first valve next to the steering tower or in the steering tower?

DON"T DO IT!!!!! If you take a behlen powersteering unit and put it on a tractor that did not have power steering you won"t be able to do it. There is a flow divider valve that is not present on your tractor. If it was there you don"t want to do it anyway. We have taken several 400-450 Farmall tractors with factory Behlen units on them and fixed them with a seperate powersteering pump. Why? The factory flow divider valve was one of the weaknesses of these tractors. You have to split off some of the flow form the hydraulics for you power steering to work. Here is a better solution. What you do if your mechanically not all that good is take an eaton pump from a char lynn system and mount it up front to power your behlen unit. If your mechanically capable and want to really do it right this is what you do. Take a Ford power steering pump circa 1969 or so and mount it up under the hood on the left side. Then if you alreay have not done so mount an alternator on the right side. Run your belt from the fan pulley up to the alternator and then across right below the top radiator hose and to the power steering pump and than back down to the fan pulley. Mount the power steering pump solid and use the alternator for your tension adjust. If you do this you will have a system that works better than Char Lynn. You will be much happier if you do it that way. Trust me. With it idling and staionary you will be able to take your pinky and turn the wheel. If anyone says it can"t be done then I say don"t interput me cause I"ve alreayd done it. I plan to do it on a Farmall M this summer however I will using an eaton pupm similar to the Char Lynn eaton pump but mounting up on top on the left side and belting it like above. The late 50s and early 60s ford power steering pumps were an eaton pump. Most Semi-Tractors form this era were a similar eaton pump. They are a dime a dozen if your capable of build a mounting system. The late 60s Ford pumps are great because of the built in reservoir. DO NOT USE A GM PUMP form the same era. They do not have enough power at the low RPMs. The ford pump will produce 1600 lbs of pressure even when it is barely turning.

The plug is internal. Installing power steering on a tractor that did not have power steering.

I went out and looked at mine one line hooks in the bottom left hand side of tower and the other hooks on the bottom of the valve block on left side. I suppose the one on tower is return line to resivour. I will look again in the morning it was dark out there.
