You might be able to find a manual at one of the places that sells the reproductions of old manuals. I did a lot of plowing with one of those disk plows around 50 years ago. Should be pretty easy to figure out how to attach if you have all the parts which could be a problem. There was a bracket that attached under the belly of the tractor to the clutch housing, about under the lift all. the bracket had a heavy cross bar, probably about 1 1/2 inches in diameter that was crosswise under the tractor. The plow attached to that bar with a clevis and that is where it pulled from. The lifting mechanism which used the hydraulic lift all attached to the drawbar brackets that are bolted to the axles. As I recall, the hydraulic cylinders were in front of the rear axles. Don't remember the details. Then there was a bracket that mounted to the front of the front pedestal, to the two bolt holes just under the front bolster. This thing turns with the front wheels. That bracket had a hole for a rod that went under the left rear axle and back to the plow and then through other linkages to the back wheel of the plow. This was to steer the back wheel of the plow. When you turned(steered)the front wheels, the back wheel of the plow turned. This was good for developing your back muscles, because it made steering quite an effort. I saw an M at an auction a while back that had both the bracket under the tractor and the bracket on the front pedestal for the disk plow, but not plow. Those things were usually left on the tractor all the time, so if you just bought the plow, it's likely you did not get them. And also, it took a good two hours and lots of prying with a crowbar and lots of choice words to get the plow mounted.
