I have a 1951 Farmall M with a belly pump. I don't have any hydraulic implements but am considering adding a 3-point hitch. Is there an easy/inexpensive way to check if the pump is working properly before spending the money? I have little experience with hydraulics but was wondering if a gauge would tell me what I need to know or do I need to connect a cylinder?
As a side note, there is a short length of hydraulic hose connected to the left side pressure port and when I engage the hydraulic lever, the hose moves and appears to stiffen.
Also, the left side delayed pressure port is fitted with a plugged elbow that I noticed will swivel 360 degrees. I didn't know if this is normal or if there is a problem with the threads? Don't see any leaks. If this needs to be repaired, is it necessary to remove all hydraulic connections in order to drop the belly pump and if so, how would I best remove this connection assuming it's damaged?
