How to put power steering on MF50?

My father has asked me about trying to figure out how to put power steering on his Massey Feruson 50. He is getting up in years and it is getting hard for him to steer.

I have looked all over the net and so far haven't come across a conversion kit for the MF50.

Does anyone happen to have the parts or know where to get them to do this?
 
Your best bet is to find a used mf50 or compatable tractor and get the parts off them. I changed a mf65 from
manual to power steering by finding old tractor parts & advice from yesterday tractor forum.
 
That is one of my problems I think I am going to run into. I haven't found any MF50 parts tractors that had the power steering.
I see all the time MF35 & 65 stuff but not 50.
 
I was hoping that someone would be able to tell me if that was true. I keep finding all kinds of stuff for the 65.

I called my cousin this afternoon and he swares that there is "a can" as he calls it in front of the distributor cap, that makes me think that maybe (if I'm lucky) this thing might have PS but it just does not work at the moment.
 
I just completed the swap on my 50 using 65 components. Find a salvage 65 and get the entire system to include the
lower control arm. The diesel pump won't fit on the gas because of the distributor being in the way so you will have to
find a pump off of a 35 or another 50 and the pump gear which mates to the timing gear will have a spiral cut and will
be much smaller than the 65.Finding that little gear is the secret.The early 65's that have the power steering
reservior mounted to the top of the fan shrould has the Barnes pump which will fit on the gas once you change the gear.
 
Looking at mine I think all parts will fit except the pump. The 65 uses a different engine than the 50 so the pump won't fit. At least the reservoir is different anyway. I have one of each that i can take pictures of if necessary.
