I recently installed a new proofmeter and shaft on my Ford 860. It worked like a champ for 3 (meter)hours, but then quit. At the same time, I started hearing a knocking sound from the hydraulic pump, especially after it gets warm and when lifting my brush hog. Seems too coincidental to be independent issues. It lifts and hold just fine, no visible leaks, just that knocking sound. Any ideas?

Disconnect the drive cable from the hydraulic pump and see if the cable drive mechanism (the part that turns the cable) rotates when the engine is running.
It has been posted here before that the Chinese made proofmeters that are being sold by the tractor parts supply houses are prone to failure shortly after installation.

awhtx,
Thanks for the advice. Shaft turns just fine and appears intact. Based on some other advice, I bled the hydraulic pump to get rid of the cavitation noise. Now all I have to do is pursue a replacement for my (undoubetdly) Chinese meter...
