GarWood Hoist Questions

Went to an auction Sunday and bought a 1963 Chevy C60 with a grain box that "wouldn't lift" for $375. Found it is a GarWood pump and had a input shaft seal popped out of the pump housing. I took it off, and after inspecting and unsuccessfully searching the web for a replacement, I put it back together and hoped for the best. Well I had it working tonight but after topping off the oil I lowered the bad and the seal came out again. My main question is how do I make sure the oil level is correct in this system? It has no reservoir and the only way to fill it is by removing a plug in the top of the cylinder. I assumed you raised the bed and just filled the cylinder until it wouldn't hold anymore. Now I'm wondering if I put too much in and caused the seal to come out. I haven't had much luck finding info on this type of system and any info would be appreciated!
