JD 324 Loader 3rd & 4th Function

I have a 2019 John Deere 324 Loader that is primarily used for snow removal. It works with a metal pless plow for the majority of its hours. I am trying to get the joystick control (3rd & 4th function) to both work to control the blade. I currently have the 3rd function as the hydraulic control for the three functions on the blade. There is a three way switch that toggles between each of the two wings, and the angle control of the blade. I would like to know if it is possible to get the 4th function to operate the blade angle and the 3rd function to operate the two wings. To do this I'm thinking that I need to know how the 3rd and 4th functions are wired. The problem as I can see it is that there is only one hydraulic input to the blade so the 4th function would have to work through the same hydraulic feed but would have to control the electric switching function also. Is this possible? If anyone has some input or thought that would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone has access to the wiring diagram for these functions, I would really like to see them.. Thanks!!

Thanks mg2361! Really enjoy the forum! Sorry it's been so long for me to get back, ended up being away from the loader and wasn't able to get to it to retrieve the serial number! Here is the number I was able to get, 1LU324LXCZB058773.
Thanks for any input with this!

Unfortunately, Deere does not offer anything to do that. Your machine is built with a 3 spool valve, and to get a second set of lines out to the plow, you would need the 4 spool valve, or some aftermarket setup.

Check your PM's.
