There are little "check balls" inside of the valves with the nipples inside of them, just because the pins themselves are up, doesn't necessarily mean the valves themselves are good or working. If you can find someone close by that has working check valves you could borrow, I would change them out first and see what happens. These are way easier to change out than changing out the hydro pump itself. If it still doesn't work with known to be good valves, then I would start looking for a parts tractors, you don't want to pay to rebuild the bad pump, everything I have seen on getting them rebuild is very expensive. As far as I know, all the valves interchangeable, manual release or auto dump valves, as for parts tractors for a replacement pump, I believe any wide frame, quiet line, and 7 series should work. A wide frame and QL with hydro lift would be a great parts tractor, then you could add the hydro lift option as well.
