Hey guys,
Just letting you know what I found with this pump that I had put new seals in and then couldn't get to work. It turned out that the fork to engage and disengage the drive was slightly bent and when I put the suction/lever control plate on it would hold the pump out of gear. Drove me nuts because I would just unbolt that plate with the suction line and leave it with the tractor and when I would turn the pump on the bench it would pump fine. So I'm thinking it wasn't sucking oil when on the tractor. I straightened the fork and now she pumps fine. Thanks guys for your insight.
