We used to get rope packing from the hydraulic shop for those old pumps. Came in a couple sizes; black kinda stuff woven with metal. Spiraled it into the packing box and snugged the gland down, then adjusted it further to stop leaking when running. Be sure to keep well away from the spinning PTO shaft.
