Early T2 6400 big chassis tractors [85 and up] had two hydraulic pump options. Both fed Bosch spools and both seemed to have load sensing external hydraulics and were plumbed for power-beyond, but none actually had the couplers for this, only stop-ends.
The two types were the high end option of CCLS with a variable displacement pump.
The other was a Twin Flow system with two fixed displacement gear pumps automatically combining flow [as opposed to later 5400 which have a blue switch that the driver decides to combine flow or not. The plumbing of the Twin Flow system is unknown to me and I've only ever seen two 6485 models fitted with it.
All gear pumps are prone to wear and seldom last more than 6000 hours in any tractor.
