Allan,
I hadn't been following this whole conversation and was guessing just control of a 3pnt hitch. But Brian's response rung a bell and if you're the guy with a loader and wide front on his H then I agree with his comment that you will be much happier with the live pump on everything. You will need a priority flow diverter that feeds the PS motor and the aux valves for the loader and whatever else you want.

To answer the question directly, I don't think you want a low pressure relief on your steering circuit in this case. What little I understand about the steering motors is that they seem to try to maintain a constant volume, and pressure varies as required by load. With a wide front and a loader you are going to need to build some higher pressures (a full bucket trying to turn the wheels at a dead stop). Where the magic point is I don't know without trying it, but with a pressure relief valve you would just loose the power assist when you needed it the most.

If it were me, and I had the time, I would replace the gears and install the whole system at once. If I didn't have the time, I would install the pump for the PS motor temporarily and listen for a load on the motor as the sign that I was on thin ice and should back off (ie: don't try to turn without the wheels moving). You've heard the old mechanic's line, "You can pay me now or pay me later.". With that much hydraulic load you will want it done right as soon as possible.
