Default Auxillary use for power steering pump

Just thinking out loud..........I wonder if it would be possible to tap into the power steering pump (on M818 etc.) for other uses?

With all the problems I've had with 30 year old plus power steering pumps, I wouldn't do anything to tempt more trouble.

Good use for P/S pump , I have had one modified for aux. hydraulics on a snow plow.
I used a piggyback pump on the engine oil pump for the power steering.
I could have saved a lot of trouble and time if I had just left the P/S alone, and used the piggyback for the snowplow hydraulics.
