The problem turned out to be the wrong pressure plate. When I took the old pressure in to be rebuilt, the shop was not able to rebuild my old unit so they ordered a rebuilt from another shop. When it came in a week later of course my old pressure plate was already in a pile somewhere else so no side-by-side comparison was done.
This model tractor uses two different transmissions, a hi-lo-reverse and a constant mesh transmission which is what I have. The constant mesh transmission has an extra shaft which is run off the pressure plate with a set of splines. The pressure plate I got is smooth inside and fit just over the splines on the shaft. That is why I was getting a grinding noise and why the pump wasn't working. Actually it probably was turning just a little which explains a dribble of oil thru the lines.
So now I have the pleasure of breaking the tractor apart again and installing the right part. Thanks to each of you for your replies and interest.
