And beware of fill level plugs on the side of the transmission/hydraulic case. I had an IH 504 utility and the loader wasn't working right- wouldn't lift to full height, sometimes skipped when being raised. It had no dipstick, just a fill cap on top, and an obvious fill level plug on the side- a 1/2 inch pipe plug with a drilled and tapped hole drilled in the top with a bolt and rubber washer screwed in. I had always kept it filled to the indicated level, but loader had never worked right. Decided to try a new(er) pump. Asked on here, and Nebraska Cowman said he had a pump, but didn't know if it was good. He made me a proposition- I send him $50, and he'd send the pump. If it wasn't good, scrap it, let him know, and he'd refund the 50; if it was good, I was to send him another 100. We did the deal, and I installed the pump.
In the process, I got to looking, and it appeared the so-called "level plug" was too low- so when full, the oil was barely above the hole in the center of the case that allowed oil to go from side to side. When I refilled, I filled it to the level plug depth, then measured down the fill hole and added another inch of oil. Worked flawlessly from then on. So Howard, your pump was good, but it turned out I didn't need it. But we made our deal, and I'm fine with it.
