OK here goes.

My M has Behlen power steering on it. My dad put the kit on the tractor in the ‘60’s ‘cause he had a JD picker mounted on it when the loader wasn’t. He made a tank to fit where the belly pump was. I’ 95% sure the pump came as part of the kit.

The kit consisted of the pump ahead of the distributor, a priority valve, and hoses. The pump number that you mentioned sounds familiar, but the tractor is now 14 miles away from me at home so I won’t be able to check it for a couple of hours. The pump has two hoses on it one for suction (3/4” I think”) and one outlet (1/2” I think) which goes to the priority valve. From there hoses go to the power steering unit and a double acting valve mounted on a bracket attached to the belt pulley housing. Return lines are tee back into the suction line at the bottom of the tank.

If you would like detailed pictures and don’t mind looking at a tractor truly in its working clothes, I can post some later this evening. Either post here or Allen has my e-mail.

As far as functionality of the pump, mine works great, and have never regretted the conversion. I have a DuAll loader on it, move round bales weighing up to 1400# and can steer it with one finger if I want. Schwartz wide front with 235 X 16” pickup tires on the front and 15.5 38 tires on 14” 560 wheels on the back and 2 sets of wheel weights (no fluid). The loader is slower than a snail when it’s below 0 F till it warms up, but above that it works fairly fast, but not as fast as a PTO driven pump.

Let me know if you want more info or have more questions.
