I do not beleive it is the pump but i am not there , I am leaning more toward the MCV as to a sticking valve , or a weak spring . Now if i am wrong then the problem is inside the T/A . Now it is like this Allen Other then a couple other guys on here that spent as much or longer working on I H tractors as i have and have always done the simple things first before dropen money just to say well i replaced this and i replaced that taken a couple hours and testing is a whole lot cheaper then droppen 400 bucks for a pump only to find out that it only took a 60 dollar spring kit and a gskt kit to fix the problem . Now if ya don't have means to do the test yourself then here again spending a 100-200 bucks to have someone else do that for ya and then ya know just whatya need and not every 40 year old tractor needs this or that . As this or that my have been alreay replaced so a simple pressure test and a flow rate will tell you this or that and the best money that i ever spent was the day i took and went to a sale just knowen that i was wasten my time going and end up buying 90% of all the service dept equipment of and old I H dealer ship and got my flowrater as it saved me a ton of man hours and the customer a ton of money while i played the game of let rplce this and that and it would nail down the problems . So here we are and you are the one that has to run off to the dealer for parts and when this does not work then run back and buy something else and try that and back and forth . And yes there are a bunch of dealers out there that have mechanics that just know how to unbolt a part and replace it and bolt something else on till they get it wright . Also remember that not everybody has a bottmless check book . Also just why did you send your 966 in to the dealer to have them do the work on the 966? Heck that job is not that hard and if ya go a Elcheapo cherry picker and some blocking or homemade stands it would have been a nice learning experance. Oh well the bill will be a learning experance .
