In 1959 Ford made several model tractors and several configurations of each model. 501 offset; 601 utility; 701 row crop; 801 utility; 901 row crop; and 1801 industrial. The 501; 601; and 701 gas engine has 33 to 35 hp and the diesel has about 32 hp.
The 801; 901; and 1801 gas has about 48 hp and the diesel has 39 to 42 hp. All except the 1801 came with power steering as a option add on from the factory; but you may or may not be able to get aftermarket power steering for the 1801. Not real sure. To get live PTO you need to select the correct trans. Only the 5 speed double clutch and the SOS trans offers live PTO. While the 1801 industrial would be best for a loader the others will work under normal home use. The row crops would be the worse with a loader. So if we follow you search wants and give you the tractor that meets all of them we can narrow it down to..... ....
661 5 speed 671 SOS
681 SOS
You may change your wants to meet another tractor but these 3 are the only ones that meet it as you have stated. Now the problem starts. While these tractors were built in 1959 they were also built from late 1957 to 1962. Finding on built in 1959 will be the hard part because you will have to weed out the same model tractors built in other years. AND most sellers barely know what model they have; never alone what year it was built.
