Behlen hydraulic pump

I have a Behlen 201 power steering pump. I’m setting it up to run off the fan belt on my John Deere A. It’s set up to run off the governor, so it’s spins the wrong way. The book says that you can change some parts to switch rotation. My question is, can anyone tell me where to to get the parts to switch the rotation, and how do you do that?
Thanks
 
You could mount the pump the opposite way. I assume you are mounting it with the pump behind the pulley or towards the back of the tractor. If you mount it with the pump forward of the pulley problem solved, may look odd but will steer easy.
 
I already have a John Deere pump under the distributor that runs the live hydraulic (and the power steering right now), but it doesn’t work good to do both for several reasons. So I found a 201 pump with the factory Pully that’s the right size to spin at engine RPMs. It just doesn’t spin the right way.
 
Unless this is a show only tractor, mount the pump outside the frame, then you have room to mount it backwards. Just need a longer belt. Find someone with the correct pump and trade yours for it.
 
That would work, except I run a 45W loader on it, and the sway bar mounts to the frame right there. Do you know where I could find someone with a pump that spins the right way?
 
I have a saganaw pomp ( from a old chevy ) running a bahlen power steering unit on my 1951 A the fan belt runs the alt with a dubble pully that runs over to the pump,
 
Some pumps you just flip the center section that has the directional arrow on. I don't know what pump you have.
