YOU will see a plate on the fill side of the reservoir with four screws, this is the suction screen that allows fluid to the pump. They are good about getting clogged as it is a fine brass wire mesh. I would purchase the gasket from IH, drain the reservoir as indicated above, remove & clean the screen with kerosene or diesel fuel, be very gentle, I use a very soft bristled paint brush, and dry with regulated compressed air cut down to 30 psi.
Once removed a bit of light inside the reservoir can also indicate if any sludge build up has occurred. Hydraulic oil needs to be as clean as possible. Refill & flush all lines with hy-trans fluid or equivalent.
There are several threads here as to what fluid works for hy-trans & what doesn't.
Once this has been accomplished hopefully your pump will be fine, replacements are pricey, and a knowlegeable machinist is necessary to bring one back into original specs, but as with anything IH, nothing is impossible.
Welcome to an excellent forum, and congrats on your "new" tractor.
