got the bearings and seals for the hydraulic pump for the dump bed yesterday so I installed them and put the pump back together and hooked the PTO shaft up to it. The bed goes up and down again like it did before I pulled it apart, but now there are no leaks! Checked this morning and the pump and PTO are still dry! Also put new plugs, wire, and points in it, it sure runs better on all 8 than it did on 5 1/2 cylinders! Looking forward to going for a test drive once I get the seat done!
