Eric: I don't know as I would shy away from that white metal cast pump base on what he told you. Those early live hydraulic pumps on everything from Cub to M and W4 through W9 were all white cast metal, and they all mounted in the distributor drive. And yes of course when the pump was worn out usually the first notice was hydraulic oil leaking into crank case. But it never stopped us from using them. I'm not trying to tell you they were finest pump ever made or anything of the kind. IH did continue to use them until end of 130, 230, 350, 450 and 650 production in 1958.

I have a Super A and 130 both with original pumps. My Farmall 300 probably went 25,000 hours on 2 pumps. Key to running these pumps is never allow them to get low in oil, and if you feel they are running a bit hot don't be affraid to add additional resovoir. That is what we did with 300 after first pump went at less than 5 years.

One of those new on a W4 at this point will probably last forever. When the time does come that it's going to leak along shaft, just monitor hydraulic oil being added. The leak at the pump is the only one you cant see.
