I bought a 300 industrial with a loader. I am told this is the same tractor as the 1020. It has been sitting for years. I drug it home. I got it running. I could not figure out why the power steering didn't work. After some digging. I see that i'm missing a pump on the front of the motor. Someone fabricated a plate and blocked it off. I checked at dealer and a new pump is almost 1800 DOLLARS!!!! So now i'm looking for used. Any ideas?

Tractor salvage yards, or ebay. Determine the part number(s) that will work and start searching. Put a "wanted ad" in this forum's Market Place.

Ive done all these except the want ad.I'll do that today. I have found several. The cheapest being almost 900. I can't spend that . Maybe a tractor project wasn't a good idea.lol
