MF175 with Aux Hydraulic control adding Loader Spool

I have a MF175 with the Aux hydraulic control pictured below seat, between your legs when seated on tractor. I need to add hooks ups for a Farm Hand loader with center open spool on it. This will be connected by quick couplers. My question is where do I tap into the existing system to get pressure to feed the loader circuit? The current spool has 2 levers. The one on the left (bottom of picture) allows for normal 3pt hitch operation when placed in the full forward detent position. With this lever in the middle detent position and tractor hydraulics in constant pumping mode the left lever (bottom in picture) controls the 3pt hitch and the right one controls the Rear Aux Hydraulic hookups. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On my MF 65 the loader is connected to the aux valve which runs to a separate loader control valve set. For a while I had the loader connected to the forward connection on the left side lever which allowed me to keep the aux valve available. But that quit working, and I had to use the aux valve. When using the three-point and the loader to move bales you are kept pretty busy switching back and forth. I usually carry a bale on the three-point for a counterbalance and every so often I have to switch to the three-point to keep it fully raised.
