Okay, 460/560 experts: I have no detectable hydraulic pressure on my "new" 460, even though it appeared to be full of fluid and I cleaned the filter and screen. So, I take the plate off the other side where the pump is. Pump looks outwardly okay, driven gear on pump looks good, drive gear on tractor looks good too, EXCEPT it doesn't seem to fit too tightly on its shaft-it has an eighth of an inch or more of wobble, fore and aft. My question is, is it normal for the drive gear not to be tightly fastened onto its shaft, or is this slack between the shaft splines and the drive gear a sign of serious trouble and the need for a teardown? I know that the question of hydraulic pressure is a separate issue, but I just don't want to tear anything up. Thanks, Hugh
