In MHO the BEST way (also expensive way) is to go with the live pump between the distributor and the timing gear. There was a change made in 1950 to improve the timing gear on the camshaft, some of the older ones with these live pumps had gear problems. However, I’ve had one on my 1950 M, and the gear broke in 1969 but no problems since. It seems to me there was a change in the front cover too.

If you have a loader on the tractor with a supply tank, plumb it directly into the pump and keep the belly pump as a back up. If you don’t have a loader on it, take the belly pump out, get a tank made (or build it yourself) and put it where the belly pump was. On this tank you can use ¾ inch fittings for the input line to the pump. You can plumb the return as you see fit. This setup gives you maximum reservoir capacity and maximum supply to the pump. (You can gut the belly pump and use it for a reservoir but you will be limited to the suction side by the size of the drain hole in the belly pump.)

Mount your self a spool valve somewhere and you are ready to go.

I wish I could give you a cost amount, but all I can say is it won't be cheap.
