Does anyone recognize this power steering???

I bought my Ford Jubilee back in 2003 and has been a good little tractor to mow & move snow. Hard to find time to tear too deep into it because of full time work & not wanting it to be out of commission for too long. Finally broke down & fixing a few items that need attention. The power steering has me stumped and hope one of you guys could help me out. It has power steering that was added to it somewhere in its past life. It seems to work fine, but leaks I'm assuming around the top shaft seal. Oil comes out around the top of the steering valve. Previous owner welded around steering column (I'm assuming to stop leak, but still leaking). Oil is coming out around the weld, but only way oil would be in this area would be from a bad seal I think. So I had to grind it off and found the knuckles between the steering valve & steering shaft had some welding done to them. I need to get the knuckles off to fix the seal, but was not having luck driving them out from either direction. I also tried driving the pin out on the bottom knuckle that goes into the steering box with no luck there either. I am struggling finding anything online or calling a few places. I feel if I get the pins out successfully, I can get the seals out & find replacements (I hope). Would like to get new knuckles if possible, but feeling like that may be like finding a needle in a haystack. Have a few pics to help show what I'm trying to figure out. Anyone have any good suggestions or know anything about this set up?? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Not a ford guy . I'll bet it will be easier to find a used unit or parts tractor than those parts for it. Can you drill the pins out or off enough to get it apart?
 
Thats pretty tough looking. But dont look like ur trying too hard. Get that valve supported in a vise and a bunch the same size as that pin and a 2 lb ball peen hammer and go to it. That pin is probably worn with notches in that home made set up. Like hit it dont tickle it as I say. Plus u should be able to buy that coupler or just get the whole thing used.
 
Looks like a great place to utilize a shop press or arbor press and if you dont have either a good excuse to buy one!
 
I don't have a press, that would be preferable. Before I posted this, I did have it supported in a vise & used a 2 lb hammer with punch & was hitting it pretty hard. Thought I'd stop before I did not have an option to. I could certainly grind off those knuckles & try to find different ones or make them myself. Not sure if I can get them drilled out, good idea.
 
So there is absolutely no cast numbers or identification on it? I really do not know how these folks are about unusual requests but they were good for me when I got seals for my Charlynn PS on my M. Their name is Midwest Steering they are in MO, send them a picture in an email, see link.

I have one like that still on the steering box. It did not leak. It was on a Ford 641 that was used in a salvage yard. I did not like the pump and and the separate reservoir for the oil so I just removed everything and put on a different steering box on the tractor. If you don't have FEL on the tractor, the manual steering isn't that bad. I was just going to put the regular top part of the steering box back on it. If you are interested, I would sell the whole steering box. Located in Central Wi. E-mail is open.
 
what i do is set it on a solid steel with a hole in it to set the pin over. Take a good air chisel and let it rip. That or a big hammer. I just find the air chisel works real good.
