Either way its just pumping oil in a loop back to the tank at minimal pressure. That did not kill your pump,  not sure what did or if it died of old age. The relief comes in to play when you go to move the loader cylinders and they can because they are over loaded. This is when the pump works the hardest, and even that should not kill it if the relief is adjusted to the proper or lower pressure.Right now I'd be looking for a new pump and inspecting the system for contamination from the failed pump.Ken</blockquote>
