If the 5030 is a 5k derivative then you may be right in terms of what you think but I do have some parts data here somewhere so will see what I can find (it's a heap of randomly-named PDF's though, so could take a while!).

FP.
it definitely has 2 pumps, plus the steering pump. I assume the older or smaller fords, 4000 etc just have one and a divertor handle for sending the oil to either the hitch or the aux spools.

It it just seems weird to me that the pump for the spools would go from working 100% to nothing, I would have thought it would degrade pressure slowly. I pulled the filter ofj and there’s oil in the filter, I’m thinking a relief valve is stuck open.
