Power Steering SWDR9

Can someone explain what parts are needed and how the plumbing works? The tractor does have the factory pump(on the distributor)and the round tank with the two lines running to the back. I"d like to keep it as factory looking as possible if I can. thanks
 
The main part is the steering link coming off of the steering arm and going to the left front wheel. It has the valving and bracket that bolts to believe rear axle area. Will look at my WR9 tomorrow for hoses, etc.
 
I removed the power steering from my Super WD-9 many years ago. The control valve on the cylinder was continually leaking and the internal parts were very worn. Parts were non-existant back then. It had a separate pump that was mounted on the left side of the engine and it was belt driven. The "distributor" pump was not used to run the power steering. The hoses for the system connected to the tractor's normal round hydraulic reservoir situated in front of the clutch pedal. It used a special aluminum fitting with two separate ports to connect the supply/return hose to the reservoir. It all looked to be parts supplied by IH but I am thinking Char-Lyn made it for them. Definitely was not a bunch of plumbing parts cobbled together by a previous owner. A parts manual might have a diagram that shows the complete system. I will take a look and see if I have a diagram.
 
The finding of a good factory setup might be possible. I would look for a linkage type system from medium sized trucks from the mid 60s to mid 90s. there were many trucks using the linkage method of power assist I have scavenged one from a truck bone yard. Itr was from a chassis and i never knew the model or brand of truck. Jim
 

How about a later 600/650, wouldn't the steering be the same? Parts from a later model might be easier to find.
 
you need the bracket that bolts onto the disc brake,and the steering arm with hyd cyl. one hose goes to valve block and other one return to tank.i have taken pic's of mine just need to get them posted.
