[Farmall] International 460 Utility

[cvill]

Could we ask what oil was used for the refill.  Incorrect oil such as 
90W gear oil could cause this same problem.  Case in point:  I have an 
8N ford with 90W in the gear cases.   The 3 pt. hitch will do just as 
you describe.  The oil just gets too thick to pump.
