Thanks Pete. No you didn't confuse me. The IH 3000 loader and backhoe work fine. No hitch. Plenty of hydraulics there. I just want to eliminate the flow divider and the pilot valve before buying a pump. The steering valve/hand pump works ok and works manually as well. If that is a relief valve behind the flow divider, then I'll try to pull it out assuming there is room to get to it. There isn't much room to work on it. Might be a spring project to pull it and the pilot valve out and go through them. I suppose there could be a busted spring, oring, or something.
I've pulled the main line from the pump to the top of the flow divider and it definitely puts out the fluid.
I thought I fixed it last fall when I found a piece of metal (maybe a piece of broken spring) under the check ball of the relief valve located in the empty draft control housing. But that just helped a little bit. Put it in a vise to compress the ball and the metal piece fell back into the relief valve.
Thanks and I didn't mean to hijack this thread but some of these hydraulic issues are similar.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
