[AJD] 60 LP followed me home

Thanks for the info. 

It looks like there is motor oil in the PS now, so that will need to
com e out. What is the best way to flush out the PS system before
putting in that $5 a quart JD PS oil?? I was thinking of draining the
system, then refilling with something cheap like R&O hyd fluid, drain
that then fill with JD lo-vis, run then drain and fill with correct JD
PS fluid. 

On the water pump, it leaks and looks like the bearing is shot, pulley
wobbling around. How hard are these pumps to rebuild????
