Hope the pump works I've heard finding parts can be a pain. Start looking into an auxilliary transmission cooler and a deeper pan if you plan to use that plow much. A filter and oil change while you have the pan off. Not trying to rain on your parade just a heads up. Nothing destroys a transmission like plowing snow.

You know me Ron

its all about the chase. These parts will probably sit on a shelf for the next ten years. Besides i would have to disconnect the pto winch from the w300 to get the plow on. Maybe ill rebuild a sno commander around this one part. Ahahah

Is it a Monarch system? Monarch was very popular with many vehicle and snowplow manufactures up through the 1970's.

If it is a Monarch, the pump is very easy to rebuild. The gears almost never wear out on the surfaces of the teeth. The wear occurs on the sides of the gears. The gears and pump plates can be surface ground to remove the wear and bring the clearances back into tolerance. Then all you might need are new needle bearings and seals, but not very likely unless moisture has corroded the parts.

The trick to reducing the wear is to remove the drive belt during non-snowplowing months.
