Bought a 2011 8540 DT back before Xmas. Literally have only been on it for about 20 minutes from when they dropped it off. I have it at my remote property a couple hours away so really haven't been able to do anything with it or do any trouble shooting yet. I bought it knowing the 3 pt was not lifting, and the power steering not working. Im figuring its going to need a pump replaced. Looks to be about $1600 online for the pump. Ive bought a full set of filters and those will all be changed before anything else is done.
Anyone else had these symptoms on one?

2nd. How do I tell if this one is a hydro shuttle or? It has the fwd/rev shifter on left side of column.

DT indicates it has sync-shuttle which requires depressing foot clutch pedal when shifting shuttle.
