230 hydralic pump?

I'm new here - been lurking at the AC board or a couple of years, though. Trying to help out a neighbor - his old IH 230 blew it's hydraulic pump a couple of days ago. That's per the real tractor mechanic who checked it out. I used to be a turbine mechanic. First question is where's the best place to start hunting IH parts? Second question - is it worth it? This tractor has been run long and hard, 2 years ago it spent 3 days with nothing but the exhaust rain flap out of the flood water. It was cleaned up and fluids changed but it seems like everytime he fixes one problem within a couple of weeks a new problem comes up. Are these tractors worth the effort or will repairs just cause something else to go bad? The neighbor is 78 years old and I've told him he can use my D17 any time he wants it or I'll be glad to do any tractor work he wants for him. Thanks for any info!
