I was looking at the engine mounted gear pump with the external screw-on filter used on the x600 and newer models, and the parts page for that pump claims that it fits the 1964-1975 thousand series tractors as well. I know that the pump will bolt on to the engine because the engine itself didn't change in that area, but it is misleading, at least from my viewpoint, in that people might think that they can simply buy that newer style pump and replace the old piston style pump on their 2000 or 3000 tractor and it will be a direct replacement, but I am pretty sure that you would need to replace, or at least modify, the lines between the pump and the rear axle.
