There is round plate on the bottom of the tractor with four bolts in it, this one takes the oil pump apart proper. Wait to do that one after the pump is out. Six nuts around that plate hold the pump to the bottom of the crankcase, but you'll need to undo the crankcase cover on top in order to reach down inside and undo the oil lines connecting the oil pump to the engine.
Now it's time to use a putty knife from above and just scrape the crud out the oil pump hole without wasting a drop of diesel fuel or any other expensive fluids.

It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
