Need help with Telecaster wiring

I'm in the process of putting a Stratocaster pickup in the mid position of my Telecaster. I need someone to draw me up a wiring diagram. Here's what I want;
position 1: bridge
position 2: bridge/middle
position 3: bridge/neck
position 4: middle/neck
position 5: neck

I know that I can find that diagram on the Fender website, but I want to install a push/pull tone pot to use the middle pickup by itself.

Can anyone help?
 
Deleting that tone pot was a badly worded suggestion. Since you're starting off with a Telecaster, ignore the tone pots on the topmost wiring on that site, just wire the switch and the push/pull. Wire the output of the switch to the volume, then the volume to the tone and output jack as they are already connected on a Tele.
 
Not quite, though, that wiring doesn't give a solo mid pickup.

He asked for:

position 1: bridge
position 2: bridge/middle
position 3: bridge/neck
position 4: middle/neck
position 5: neck

That's on that switch.

Then the middle pickup can be done with the push pull, with that switch I posted.

But the middle pickup alone is about the most boring setting on a Strat. That's why that switch has the neck and bridge instead.
