Just installed a new hydraulic pump & before I add any hy-trans, I was just wondering how I bleed the lines. It is on an M & the pump is an IH pump (hoses feed into the bottom of the pump). Never did this before & just want to do it correct the first time. Thanks for all your help.

Granger,

Pour the oil in the reservoir and start 'er up. It will bleed itself.

If you mean to get the air out (as opposed to flushing the lines to get the old oil out), I would unhook the distributor wire and tap the key for a few second each time, then hooker back up and go. Ideally you should have put some oil in the pump and turn it by hand (if thats possible). I'm sure the new pump has some sort of assembly lube. There should be no need for anything else. The lines should bleed themselves basically. Make sure the resevoir is full first and monitor the level. You will need to add some after it runs for a few minutes.

Jay, I am talking about bleeding the air. Not to sound stupid, but I need to know what you mean by "unhook distributor wire & tap the key for a few for a few seconds each time". Are you talking about the spark plug wire? Not quite sure on the key taping?

Jay could be speaking in some sort of code. "Tapping the key" harkens back to the days of the telegraph operator and Western Union.

He means tap the key to turn the engine over with the wire off so it will not start.

Yeppers!! Exactly. Probably not necessary, but like I said, I'm paranoid. I did that to purge the old oil out of the pump, worked good.
