I can't figure out the pump.The machine was complete, but not working when I got it. The motor was shot and I was assured the tandem pump was absolutely working fine which is why I bought it. Obviously I was lied to so I ended up tearing the pump down and found several issues which I fixed (bearings, seals and wear on rotating assembly). I sanded the rotating assembly parts smooth on a flat plate and replaced bearings and seals. I now have suction on the vane pump hose that goes to the top of the control valve assembly, is that correct? I can't get the filter or cooler to fill up. The engine rotates clockwise from the rear of the machine looking forward. I think the hose routing is correct according to the manual. I can't find a fluid flow chart for the 743 so I don't know if I should have suction or pressure from the front vane pump output. If it's suction then fluid would flow back to vane pump from top of control valve.</blockquote>
