To back up my advice, I have been a heavy equipment tech for 20 years, with vast hydraulic experience. I know that pump well, and I'm certain you are still well under its limit.

As far as advantages to a seperate pump.... Maybe more flow if you get one with a larger GPM, but then you will only be able to push "X" amount of fluid through the hoses and valve.... so you may not gain enough to justify the cost. I had the GPM of the rear pump figured, and posted it here before, but can't recall the GPM. Sticks in my mind it's around 5 GPM at WOT.
Awesome, thanks again for all the help. As far as I can tell. You have come up with a 39 cent (washers) solutions for my issue and I have learned things along the way.
