I've no idea...but you might check out these sites:

www.westtexasoffroad.com
the IH section of www.pirate4x4.com
the guys who do the AGR steering systems. 

I'm sure one of these sources will be able to help you out.  You might even call the boys at West Texas Offroad.  Despite being located in Texas  , they're great people and I've dealt with them before.  They could probably fax you some sort of diagram...

This thread is pretty good for Saginaw boxes in general: http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/HydroAssistTap/index.html

You might search further for Scout boxes though

Thanks, you have already been a great help. BTW I ordered the parts from Surplus Center and I am waiting for them to show up.

I ported mine on the outside of the rib on the bottom of the housing under the front half of the box.  I tapped the other porton the flat area in front of the pressure/ return hoses.  Ill take pics tomorro if you need them.  I searched the net for awhile and had lilbuddy, skinny pedal and Prismo searching aswell.  between all of us I got the job done. 


WHen you go to put the box back together pack the ball with HEAVY, THICK grease and it'll be cake to put it back together.  Ill post some more tips and links in a bit...
