That makes it easy. With the tractor off disconnect the loader inlet hose and stick it in a clean 5 gallon bucket. Set throttle to minimum and start the tractor. You should get a solid stream of oil from the disconnected hose. Turn the tractor off as soon as you get flow - you can dump a lot of oil real fast if the pump is working.
