Well, I did not lift the hydraulic lift cover. I did however drain the oil completely and refilled with the oil suggested by the Massey dealer (per the advise here). The lift pump came right back into service.
I ended up taking quite a bit of oil back out. 8 gallons as shown in the manual end up being a bit too much. The book said 8 gallons, I had 7.6 so I didn't bother checking, I just dumped it in.... anyway, rookie mistake... I learned.
I had tried the hydraulics in the garage and then I wanted to test to see if the multipower came back as well (although it has never worked since I've had the tractor).

Coincidence???? It has to be right????
I checked a few things.....
Engine oil level is fine. It feels fine as well.

I'm heading out to take the thermostat out as soon as it cools down completely..... hopefully thats the problem, after that I guess it is the water pump.... and the start of another thread.

This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
