If this steering situation really bugs you, mount a rack & pinion steering gear from a small car up front and direct connect the steering column to it. As previously stated, this is not hydraulic assisted steering, but pure hydraulic directed control. In a car or truck, there is a small mechanical connection between the input pinion shaft and the pinion gear. This "T-Bar" [ torsion bar] has a rotary valve on the end of it. In fact, the valve body has mechanical stops on it to prevent relative rotation by more than a few degrees. When the T-bar twists because of steering loads, the valve opens and oil flow is diverted from bypass (open center) mode to the rack assist piston. Same basic principle on heavy cars and trucks which use a recirculating ball type of power gear. You should be able to use the same pump and lines to hook it up. Packaging should not be a problem, just clamp it to the front axle. Tack weld the existing valve in the column or put in a new one. Make sure you get the plumbing right [ right turn torque produces a right tun assist ]. When the steering torque is reduced, the valve closes and you go where you want to head towards. Should not need a new pump unless it is pressure demand. Cars and trucks use approximately constant flow systems and about 100 psi max pressure is available at initial turn in.
