Update:
Well they got a pump in (took a week) installed it, checked filters, changed trans oil and calibrated trans. He's put on 40+ hrs the last 2 weeks on it and it's different tractor he says.  Doesn't make that trans noise/vibration anymore hydraulica work better too.   He says very happy with it now and says if it runs like this it's gonna be a real handy/useful  tractor addition on his farm.  Just frustrated with all the hassel he had to go through as the tractor wasn't right the day they delivered it to the farm.
