Hey all - I finally got a loader for my JD3255 and rather than use the old crusty and half broken two handle controls I went ahead and got a new valve and joystick setup.[This one.](https://www.hydraulic-master.com/hydraulic-valve-kit-with-joystick-3-function-double-acting-for-john-deere-40lmin-11gpm-12v.html?search_query=3255&results=4) I have the loader mounted. The valves all plumbed. I the loader raises and lowers. What I can't figure out is how I need to wire the joystick to power and the solenoid for the 3rd function diverter valve. This is all new and Greek to me. Anyhow have any suggestions or a wiring diagram? This is what they shared but I am missing something somewhere. ​ https://preview.redd.it/grr0e79ca90b1.png?width=1960&format=png&auto=webp&s=1cd9781f798661895bcad5dff9ab93f1f40af883
