I would not necesarily replace the oil pump as a matter of course. There
are two reasons. First, the stock oil pump is probably okay for 150k
miles. Second, the new oil pumps available are an unknown quantity. The
tractor TR guys are having serious quality problems with oil pumps right
now.
Follow the spec measurement in the Bentley manual. If the pump is okay -
KEPP IT.

what's what.

BZZZZZT. There are issues with the quality of the new gears. Again -
measure and check. Replace when needed.
