[AT] Adding PS to a Farmall H?

[John Wilkens]

Just how difficult and expensive would it be to add full-time power 
steering to an older Farmall H?  Coulld you run a 3rd pulley for hyd. 
pump off a longer fan belt, or would it slip?  What kind of scrounged 
pump might work?  Pretty easy to find small pumps on old combines, 
windrowers, car PS units, etc.  I have an in=line  Behlen PS motor 
(awfully big) off a Farmall M and a smaller Charlin (?) that was on 
an Allis Chalmers WD.   I've driven a couple of H's with added home 
made PS but they did not work smoothly--very jumpy.  From too low of 
a pump volume, or pressure?    Just wondering if it would be a 
feasible project.  My old narrow front H steers pretty good but with 
the loader on it (nearly all the time now) PS would be nice--if it 
worked good.    Just wondering.     John W.
