Welcome Jeep Stew! I can help out a bit but there will be a few more that will chim in. First, go to the TM section of this website and get a copy of the TM for the MKT. It will help you quite a bit. I will answer your questions below:
If anyone can tell me-
1. What model MKT this is?
So, the...
There is also always the chance that this was a perfectly good truck that was not in service but was scavenged for parts to fix the ones they had to keep moving. Maybe pull of an oil pan and throw the one from the really broken unit back on to cover their tracks?? Hopefully you will get it...

I might suggest you have a moderator move this thread over to the HMMWV thread versus this restoration thread. You would have probably had a bunch of replies by now. Just not getting seen by the right people here. @Guyfang
Your pump and the hand pump need to be rebuilt. There are several write ups in here on both. 20 + year old seals have gone bad. I know Colt did a video on rebuilding the pump, and I am sure there are also probably videos of rebuilding (or replacing) the hand pump. Have you checked the fluid...
