The remote worked off the same unit and reservoir. If you follow the piping back from your pump to the right side of the reservoir, you'll see where it joins up to the side of the TC unit. That's where the valve for the remote was tapped in, and was operatied from a lever up (I think) on the light bar. The hoses ran back and through a gap in the bottom the toolbox under the seat to the rear of the tractor.
You can sometimes find the original setup as salvage, but they're scarce. I wasn't able to find one quickly, but if you search the archives here, you'll find threads where someone describes how to adapt new fittings into your system to give you a remote. Maybe somebody else can find it bettr than I could, or will chime in and describe the adaptation in full. I have in the back of my find fitting one up to my SuperC, but there's a lot of other projects ahead of that.
As for how much weight it will lift, that really depends on how it's mounted and leveraged. THe equipment specifically made for it would have been designed to make maximum use of leverage. It does have a surprising amount of gumption. Just lifting a 6' bar on a rear-mounted sickle bar is pretty impressive. I have an aftermarket three-point on mine that raises and lowers using chains run back from the crank arms on the TC unit, and it easily handles a $500+ pound back blade (though I did have to make arrangement for more weight on the front end of the tractor to balance that blade).
