You need to look at later W models that have power steering. Although I can't say for sure, I suspect the hydraulic drag link type power steering off a W-400/450 would work. I am not certain because I don't own a W-6. The same type of power steering is factory installed on my 650 and 660. A sensor in the drag link feels the direction of the pitman arm and opens valves to extend or retract a small bore cylinder tied to the drag link. I think utilities may have the same arrangement, but again, I don't own one. You can learn alot by walking around a salvage yard or tractor show. After you solve the actuator mystery, you will need a source of live hydraulic power. An automotive PS pump will do. One more thing. You might want to look at a power steering box out of a pickup truck. The downside of those is you will have to make mounts, shorten the column, maybe modify the pitman arm, and spend hours getting the whole apparatus to look and work well as a transplant.
