I am working on my 51 M and am wondering about adding power steering. There is slop in the system and I am working on getting it out. My M has live hydraulics on a distributor pump. Can I run Power Steering off this pump? Do I need a priority valve? Where is the best place to get the parts? Would I run from live pump to Torque generator? What are the steps to rig this up and THANKS for any help you can give.

Go with a dedicated P. S. pump and res. from a car or pickup truck! A much better system and you will never regert it!! Armand

Heck yeah,
You've already got the pump. Output of pump to input of priority valve, exhaust of priority valve to the former pressure line.
All you need is the priority valve and the torque motor.

I am afraid adding power steering will only make your steering wobble a bit worse. Usually re-packing the wheel bearings, replacing the bushings, bearing & seals in the front bolster, possibly over size bushings if the shaft is really worn, steering wheel shaft u-joints & bushings, replace the bearing in the steering sector.
Once you get all this accomplished you won't beleive how easy it steers, I can turn my 300 from stop to stop with just the spinner knob. Any front equipment like a loader or cultivators and you will want that power steering.
You can use the piority valve ( hard to find a good one used) & behlen drive set up for a 300, 350 or 400, or 450 and use your live hydraulic pump. Your other option would be to use the auxillary mounted power steering pump & behlen drive from the earlier M set up, but with yours already having the live hydraulic pump, I would go that route.
