Got the pump changed finally. I only ran it while sitting a very short time, I'll try it out more tomorrow, I'm letting the remaining little air bubbles float out before I do much, oil was cold so it will take a while, not too many in there though. Hopefully it will work. I ran it long enough to know that it is at least not getting the oil hot like the old pump, the other one did in no time, but we'll see what happens tomorrow, might blow up with my luck. So far, just while sitting, seems like everything "works". Steering is good, 3 point raises noticeably faster (cat 3). Steering and 3 point work at the same time at idle. I have a stackmover on the back, raised and lowered it, it seemed slow, was before I changed the pump. Wondered about the restrictor screw on the valves, but I took off the pressure from the lines and could not turn the screws on either valve, at least not with the big screwdriver I had. Both are the detent/automatic kick out valves, not float. Does the other restrictor screw that is next to the valves, closer to the tractor, control the 3 point?Also another question, I had to jury rig the little return line on the top of the pump, it would not bend or anything to line up with the newer pump, had no adapters or anything and didn't want to run 30 miles to town to get any. Should hold just to try it, but I was wondering just out of curiosity if the oil in that line just goes up into the reservoir where it screws into the tractor, or if it would happen to lube something else (in case it doesn't work I could fix it temporarily another way until I get something right). Also wondering if it should have much pressure in the line while running, doesn't seem to yet, just wondering. Thanks.
