I was going to cut the steering tube and put it in line with the shaft going to the gear box. will the tractor pump Handel this and what pluming will i need to to hook it up. here is the link to the one i was planning to use.

The flow rate for the torque generator will almost be equal to the pump rate on the tractor.

Do a search for power steering and you will find a fellow here who has added one to his B7100.

Here is a link to the thread Egon mentioned. I think it's a pretty slick mod.

Could I run it off the loader pump is there any way to install a bigger pump on the tractor looks like room is limited.

You may be able to rig up a pump off the front engine splined??? It's not in a good location though.

A pump on the dynamo belt may be possible but it would probably require hood modifications.

The rear PTO is always possible but then it becomes dedicated.

Try this link. Your existing pump should be big enough. Mine works fine except I have to have a little throttle to raise the 3 pt.
