The same line returns to the pump that was there before. I only intercepted the pressure line from the pump, not the return line. I suppose it is hard to see from the photographs, but I guess I was not trying to show that since it was not changed. Hope this helps.

AFTER READING SOME OF THE DIFFERENT IDEAS, THEY ALL HAD A DRAW BACK. HOW ABOUT POWER STEERINGFOR $250 OR LESS. I TOOK A RACE CAR P/S PUMP AND MOUNTED IT WHERE THE BELT TENSIONER WAS WITH REMOTE RESEVOIR ,USING A SWEET RACE CAR CYLINDER, AND A JOHN DEERE 400 CONTROL VALVE AND DRAG LINK. ALL COURTSEY OF EBAY. NOW THE PUMP DOES PROTRUDE OUT THE SIDE A BIT, BUT IS BALANCED WITH THE AIR FILLTER ON THE OTHER SIDE. THE BENNEFITS ARE NO ROBBING OF THE TRACTORS HYDRAULICS. I HAVE AN ENLOADER AND A GRADER BLADE WITH AN EXTRA 100 LBS. ADDED TO IT,SO CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE HYDRAULIC PRESURE. I READ WHERE SOMEONE USED A DANFOSS SETUP, WHICH IS GREAT FOR A FORKLIFT, BUT NOT HAVING A DRAGLINK IS ASKING FOR TROUBLE. JUST PICTURE ON A HILL AND A LEAK AND NO WAY TO STEER. THAT IS DANGEROUS. THEIR WAS NO DIESECTING THE TRACTOR AND EVERYTHING COULD BE PUT BACK ORGINAL,BUT WHO WOULD WANT TO.THE COST ARE AS FOLLOWS. PUMP$100 CYL. $60 VALVE $60 HOSES $30

Some years ago, I added PS to my B8200, and posted some fotos. For those of you interested, here's the Kubota USA PS kit, installed. The hydraulic lines came off the block, over to the left side, with a check and limiter valve, and down to the servo cylinder attached to the steering pitman (?) arm. That controls the cylinde that replaced the link. works fine, no noticable loss of hydraulic power.

Elsie, would you mind posting the pictures when you get them from Mr. Paul as I'm interested in viewing them as I'm sure many others are also.
Thanks,

I would like to see them too.
I have a steering valve, shaft and steering cylinder from an old New Idea Uni combine that I am going to put on my B7100. I am not sure how to plumb it though. The hydraulic block I have has no holes in it. I could drill and tap it though I think. Just not sure where to run the return line to.
I really think it is going to work great, the whole setup from the combine is pretty compact, it even has tilt wheel. The only issue I may have is the length of the steering shaft, it may have to be shortened.
I will take pics when I start working on it, which I hope to start in a few days. I hate the thought of having my tractor apart though, I use it so much. I have been mostly concerned about where to run the return line if I tap into the hydraulic block for pressure.
My B7100 is a 1977 gear drive with a FEL that runs of its own pump coming off the front of the crankshaft.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

To tap in to the hydraulic block you need a new front half for the block on your tractor. It interrupts the oil flow sending it through your hydraulic implement or whatever then back to the other side of the block. I think that part number for a B7100 is 75536-68110. This may or may not still be a good number. It is the new hydraulic block cover used for a front end loader, snow blower, front blade or whatever to supply hydraulics to them. I hope you system works, but you may need a flow divider to separate the hydraulic flow, part to the power steering and the remainder back through the hydraulic block to run your 3 pt. hitch or other hydraulics on your tractor.
