The hose at the top left side of the steering
pump ("RT" port) goes to the base end of the
steering cylinder.
The hose at the top right side of the steering
pump ("LT" port) goes to the shaft end of the
steering cylinder.
The hose beneath the "RT" port of the steering
pump ("IN" port) goes to the top fitting on the
hydraulic pump.
The hose beneath the "LT" port of the steering
pump ("OUT" port) goes to the forward-facing
elbow on the return manifold.
The hose beneath all of the others ("AUX" port)
goes to the bottom port on the hydraulic control
