I'd agree. If at all possible NEVER run oil that has gone through a
pooched pump through a new one. And if you absolutely have to, drain
and flush the system immediately after


I pressed button magnets into the pipe-plug drains on my tractor's
homemade hydraulic system. It also has a Northern Tool strainer screen
before the pump inlet and the sintered bronze filter from a Bobcat in
the return line,
