You're lucky, if you truly have a 1953 H. Some time in 1950, IH started using the improved cam gears and "live hydraulic" front covers on the M. I believe the same is true for the H. Your H should have the proper front cover and improved cam gears of the Super H, so adding a factory live hydraulic pump will be simple.
The H's belly pump system is driven off the transmission, not the engine. That's why it stops working when you push the clutch pedal.
Your C's hydraulic system is driven off the timing gears on the front of the engine. That's why it works continuously.
A power steering pump will be slow and weak on an H with a 3pt hitch. Plus there's no good place to tuck it in, so it'll stick out. you'll also need to custom machine a pulley for the crankshaft and fabricate a mounting bracket, as no "kit" is available to make it a simple bolt-on.
The factory live pump is expensive, but is a simple bolt-on.
