Oh Josh, that just blows! You have been through so much drama with this poor tractor. It is nice to hear the seller will take the pump back. Wife will be much happier.

Dusty Just checked Coleman(thanks Handy) they show the pump. Very pricey and a long shot at that.It wouldn't be the first time a supplier showed a part they couldn't get. Anyway here is the linkhttps://www.colemanequip.com/ModelParts.asp?modelID=743&pc=42714#partdiagramsY'know it all makes sense in my head, I forget that I'm the only one in there.
I was wondering if Kubota changed the drive for the drive gear which would explain why the aftermarket pump claimed to be a replacement. Alas, my local dealer said....I dunno I'd hafta call Kubota. $500 is alot to spend on something that ain't gonna work.
The next page down on that Coleman site shows the pump broken down in to parts (many of which are no longer available. For models prior to 10302 or 10243 depending on 4wd it used pn 38240-36100. Later models used pn 38240-76100. To make it more of a question when Messicks lists them the 36100 is around $320 and unavailable, the 76100 is about $480. Makes me think that it Messick's listed both with prices (and such a price difference) there should be a reason for the price disparity.
Y'all would've got a good chuckle today watching us try to fix a pole light. I am a member of the Red Men's lodge in Oxford, PA an electrician by trade and a little bit of a redneck by chance (well, maybe more than a little). That should set the stage a little. A few years ago my father bought a 1978 bucket truck bucket assembly that was designed to be mounted in the back of a pickup. It runs off two 12v batteries to power the hydraulic pumps. Dad said it worked so we loaded it on a trailer only to find that the wiring was screwed up and 2 hoses busted. But......if you push on the ends of the hydraulic control valve thingamabob (dig that fancy term) you can make the thing work. So I fixed the hoses and we took it to lodge to fix the light today, strapped down to the trailer with a few ratchet straps. All went well for a little bit, I would shimmy up and down the boom while it was 1/2 up to where we needed it to save battery life. Then one of the batteries died so after we got a beer we decided to pull another truck over, jumper cables between it and the dying battery and back to work. Of course we didn't have a tag line for pulling up supplies so an extension cord did the trick. At least the light is fixed and my wife didn't see the shenanigans.
DustyI tried that but the new pump is actually about 1/2" longer so the splined shaft, although it fits nicely next to the driven gear, is too short and slides back onto the housing rather than going into the gear drive. As for changing the gear drive at the injection pump, that was kinda what I had hoped Kubota may have done when they changed parts numbers 1/2 way through the run. I had hoped they went the a different drive and injection pump gear but ...
So the dealer took it back and refunded my money. I broke down and bought an OEM pump from Messick's because it would be drop shipped to my door quickly and my local Kubota dealer couldn't give a price on shipping. It arrived today and I installed it and the pressure was still only @ 1000psi max while activating the 3pt then drops to 500 psi. NOW WHAT? I'm guessing I will try to drain and the fluid again but it seems unlikely to me that it would cause roughly 1/2 the pressure that I should have as I have drained it once fairly recently. I also plan on following Vic's suggestions on one of Jack's previous post as he seem to be in about the same boat.
Dusty, that pic and the description just ended a small nightmare I was having with my B8200. The manual calls that the "reverse valve". Made no sense to me and mine is frozen anyway. Now I know why my 3PH stopped working with the loader disconnected. I'll get it freed up so I can use the 3PH without the loader on and not overwork the pump.This is a picture of the block on a B8200 the bolt sticking up at an angle with the little tit sticking out below it is the selector valve.
. Now if we could just solve Joshua's problem. Dusty

I think I found it and SockPuppet was right. I bought a couple cans of the generic engine degreasing foam at the local distributorship for China (Walmart)
and have been spraying down the Kubota and Case figuring if I have to jump into the problem once I find it, it would be much nicer if the are was clean. For about 6 mos. I have had a 55gallon drum filled with dirt riding on the back for weight. I took this off and cleaned that are and the problem seems to be staring me in the face. I had noticed along time ago a funny looking gold looking repair in the back of what I now know as the hydraulic cylinder case. Perpendicular to and around this repaired spot are cracks in the cylinder case. I'm thinking it's hard to build pressure if pressure's escaping. So when the kids wake up I'm gonna start her up cycle the hydraulics and see if anything comes out the crack. Also thinking that when I change the fluid again it should show water since I sprayed that are down pretty good. May not be the answer, but can't be good.
