First of all, B-275 has hard steering. You can add a power-steering system fairly easily by using the tie-rod sensor type found in many large trucks and some farm tractors. You just make a bracket and add it to your existing tie-rod. You can tap into the main hydraulics with a flow-divider and don't need to add a separate pump since the B-275 has live hydraulics anyway.
Some people have used the power-steering off the IHC 915 combine on the B-275.
Also, keep in mind the B-275 is still being made new - with power steering so you can probably buy new parts and add on. Mahindra in India used to have a joint venture with IH but now sells the tractors under their own name. They are still using the B-275 and B-414 platform in some of their new tractors - they just added some modern sheetmetal. Here is some tech. info on new Mahindra tractors built on old platforms:
The E40-DI has a three cylinder 115 cu in diesel. Everything else is almost identical to a
B-275-414 including manual steering and a 8.3 gpm hydraulic pump, except it has a
single clutch. It is rated 39 engine HP @ 2450 rpm and 31 pto hp.
The C4005-DI has the 144 cu in four cylinder diesel that was introduced in the B-275 and
hydrostatic power steering that was first offered in the 424 and the dual clutch to give
live pto. It also has the 8.3 gpm hydraulic pump. It is rated 39.5 engine HP @ 2300 rpm
and 31.5 pto hp.
The C4505-DI has the 154 cu in diesel that was introduced in the B-414 and also has
hydrostatic power steering and dual clutch. It has 8.3 gpm hydraulic pump. It is rated 43
engine HP @ 2300 rpm and 34.5 pto hp.
All of the gearing on these three models, pto, etc, is of the same design as the 275, 414,
424, 444 line of tractors.
The C5005-DI also has the 154 cu in diesel but has partial mesh gears in the transmission
which was introduced in some of the later successor models of the same design by IHC.
It also has dual clutch live pto and a 9.4 gpm hydraulic
pump. It is rated 51 engine HP @ 2600 rpm and 42 pto hp.
