Thank you quicksand... what i worry about the most is when i get the new pump and if those important hydraulic lines are not full the pump will not have fluid in it and the last thing i need is to damage a new pump... I really think Im going to put the tractor in a down hill position add fluid in the pump before i install it... I was thinking a few minutes ago if i would own an electric hydraulic pump 16 MPA i would connect the 2 main house on it and run it and see if the hydraulic would kick in
