Best Aftermarket Power Steering for MF135 with loader?

I am considering putting a full blown power steering setup on my MF135. It has a Davis 102 loader on it with swept axle. I want to get a good quality setup that may be easier to install than others. I'm willing to pay (within reason) what it takes to do this. I'm not looking to save money to cause more trouble with install or not be a good setup.

What systems would I be looking at and where can I find them?
 
A&I has a kit part number A-MF100
Yesterdays Tractor sell a kit (looks like its from Sparex) http://www.yesterdaystractors.com/Massey-Ferguson-135_Power-Steering-Conversion-Kit_S60421.html

The problem is they may not fit with a front end loader, and or a swept back axle. I've never used one of these kits so I don't know how good they are.

Here is a diy hydrostatic steering setup on a MF 202 work bull (tractor is based off a MF 35, 135).

Yes it is, although I think I need to rebuild the control valve, occasionally I turn the wheel and nothing happens. It was a used one I put on. Good thing it doesn't go very fast!
 
Check under my name in the archives for
MF135 power steering. I posted all pics
and a write up on what power steering I
added to my MF135 with a loader.
 
Would you guys say the reason they do not recommend these setups with loaders is because of lack of room to mount everything? Based on what most has been posted here looks like I may not have enough room.

robilmichael......your loader looks like it gives you a lot more room than what my Davis 102 does. I'm not sure I can cram all that in. Is that the MF100 setup that is sold on this website? Does the rod with one end connected to the steering arm and the other end connected to the top of the cylinder tell the cylinder how to direct oil flow?

Inno......Just curious why you would go with this DIY setup rather than original?

As far as Jackson Power Steering, they don't have anything listed on the site for my tractor but I will contact them anyways and see if they have anything.
 
That loader is a Schwartz 1200, the same
as a Ford loader. It was a tight fit.
The setup was purchased from eBay for
around $500. It required lots of work
to make it work properly, but once
installed it works great. Yes, the arm
connected to the ram directs the flow.

Good looking tractor. I'd like some info on what you bought to convert it. I'd like to do something similar on my TO35.

This is my winter time project for my 1967 135, full on hydrostatic steering. I took the heavy duty non-adjustable front axle assembly from my 1965 2135 industrial gasser, and put it on to my 1967 135 diesel.
