Ben,
Apparently the pump seal has blown into the gearbox, thus filling the gearbox and blowing that seal also. Seems that there should be a vent hole on top of the gearbox and the oil would have come out of there first. Hmm.
You can probably get a new gearbox shaft seal at NAPA or a commercial shop. Don't know offhand who carries those parts domestically. In any event, you need a pump seal kit, maybe the gearbox seal will be OK once you take care of the pump.
Streetrod,
It sounds like your pressure relief valve has debris in it, holding it open. Disassemble and clean it. Make sure to count the turns on the adjusting screw so you get it back close to the same pressure.

Well it shouldn't. Depends if there are any restrictions that woud cause deadheading. If the pump is mounted on a Chinese tractor's splined shaft, with a gearbox, the suction side will be on the right, as viewed from the rear. The same as if it was directly mounted with the four bolts for the tang drive.

Ben,
The gearbox should only be about 1/2 full, not to the top.
The hydraulic system will take about 2 to 3 gallons to fill all of the cylinders, hoses, and valves.
It now sounds like a blown pump shaft seal, a casualty from initially running the pump dry. Not a big job to replace. Tommy has pump kits. Can you tell if the oil thats leaking is hydraulic or gear oil?
In looking at your pics again I see that there is quite an offset. Probably should have gusseted those offsets.

Streetrod,
Be sure to check your shaft rotation. The pump will have arrows on it.

Yep, two 10' x 10' and a 3'. More pics tonight.

Just a note on changing those pumps out:
Drain the oil from the fuel injection pump first, then remove the large hex nut on the side of the pump – be careful because it has a pretty hefty spring behind it that applies pressure against the cam follower. Now the three nuts can be removed without any surprises. Re-install in reverse order.

Personally, I prefer ANFO for stump removal. Much quicker!
Is that something like Cordite?
