Howdy, is there a way to determine by visual inspection if a 844K has the optional secondary steering?

Thanks in advance.

Near the left steering cylinder on the forward side of the transmission (at the bottom) should be the secondary steering pump. If the pump is there then there is secondary steering, if not then no.

mg2361 is fully right with the position of mechanically driven pump for emergency steering.
The Deere guys were discussing an electrical solution for the big loader, at least for a while. Not sure whether they ever did.
So possibly check with Deere dealer and serial number.
