Does anyone know if they make a Power Steering Kit that fits a 1979 L2601DT? Can even be other than Kubota. Just need power steering so the wife can drive it with something in the front loader... Thanks

Your options are very limited, I don't know of a non grey model that you could use the parts off of to get it set up with power steering, and most of the aftermarket units are long gone.

Do you have a rear ballast weight? On the 3 pt hitch.

A heavy weight on the rear will take a lot of the loader weight off the front wheels and also greatly improve stability

While not exactly “power steering” it might be possible to adapt a marine-hydraulic steering system. Google “Sea Star steering kit”.
