I have an IH 300 Utility that I use only to cut grass on my property. It has what seems to be a universal problem with this tractor-- The hydraulic pump is leaking into the engine/oil pan.
Have been wondering about blocking the port for this pump and mounting an
electric pump someplace for the hydraulics.
Has anyone done this or attempted it? With the mechanical pump I suppose hydraulic fluid flow changes with the engine speed, but what constant GPM might work if using an electric pump? Or could a two speed pump be used? I'd appreciate any ideas or advice.
Thanks, JohnO.
