So the 5000 I have been working on is
coming along. I got all the controls
cleaned up and traveling freely. All new
hydraulic lines. Next in line was new
fluids, when draining the fluid from the
Simms pump it was not oil and not diesel
fuel, I think it was mineral spirits. Why
would someone do that and how much damage
is done?

It was likely rank diesel fuel due to leakage past the barrels and plungers. Pretty typical. Regardless of what it actually is, put fresh engine oil in it and go.
 
Bern thanks. I pulled the fill, drain and level plugs out to let it dry out. Will fill with 15w40 and change it out every few hours to see what's going on.
