Front-PTO oil supply

This front PTO (also discussed in another thread) had a banjo fitting with a cut piece of hose on it when I gave the tractor a new home. The image showing the PTO on the ground shows the banjo fitting about half-way up the casing. It has an oil tank that is well above the PTO as seen in another image, so I presume it was a gravity feed of some sort. But the white plastic tank also has a electric pump like a windshield washer. The two were NOT connected when I stripped the tractor.

How is this supposed to work? Why a pump if the reservoir it's higher than the PTO? The casing definitely doesn't seem like one designed for overfilling, much less pressurizing.

Did you clean the heck out of that tank? If not I doubt it
ever had any oil in it or it would look like a dirt ball. Is
this a cab tractor? If so and this is the back of the cab
that is where Massey liked to mount the washer fluid
reservoir. Other wise you had a visit from Rube
Goldberg. I am attaching the 1st post you mentioned,
not sure how valuable it is.

I haven't yet, it's pretty dry but I'll see for any residue. If it's a windshield washer then I have another issue, with the cut oil hose, like where does it connect to? Maybe just an overflow hose?

Addendum 2023-02-23
The reservoir is empty and dry inside, if it had contained oil it would not be dry. Went to see my blacksmith this morning, he said the hose could be just an overflow vent, not unlike the blowby hose of an engine block. I could live with that, though I have other gearboxes that have no vents.

If it's any help, I had a 1995 Mercedes Benz with
a windshield washer pump that looked a lot like that.
Last time I worked on it, I could get parts at reasonable
prices online. The dealer wasn't reasonable about anything.

Yeah, everything points to it being a w-s washer. I might have been[b:343c542cd1][i:343c542cd1] thrown[/i:343c542cd1][/b:343c542cd1] by documentation talking about PTO's with their own oil SUPPLY and then seeing this cut hose attached to a banjo fitting. I did something similar on my snow-blower's gearbox where I put a transparent standpipe outside of it filled to the top with oil. This allows me to see any level-drop as I keep it full all the time. Otherwise I'd have to open a plug every day just to check the level.
