Default Can Danco loaders pump be shared for power steering?

Hi All,
I have a 147 with a danco loader. I'm considering adding power steering to my little tractor.

The loader is powered by a belt driven Cessna 2.5 GPM pump.
My question is can the pump also be used for power steering?
I've seen cubs that have had pumps added for power steering and also some powered by ported sunstrand hydros.

Power steering appeals to me as the steering quite heavy with the FEL. I've already rebuilt the Ross steering unit with both the upgrade kit and a 4 turn worm gear. Dispite these upgrades the heavy steering takes a lot of the joy out of operating my 147.

Thanks!
Rick
