Will do thanks for replying was told when engine stalled could have rotated backwards causing a relief valve problem had wheels up before removing cylinder cycled only couple times raining now will post later thanks again
It's more likely that it has trapped air in the pump and caused it to cavitate.
A lot of times, just burping it the way @GrizBota said will do the trick.

Dang. Too bad it’s more serious than that. Good luck with it.

Check the large suction hose going to the hydraulic pump. It's on the RH side of your tractor's engine.
See if it is wet or has any cracks in it.

I've had pump off that hose looks good all original and dry opened pump to look inside nothing obvious stood out will probably go back in to look for relief valve stuck spring or something

I am old fashioned when it comes to diagnosing problems

If PS is not working I would disconnect the PS supply line at the steering valve and check the pressure and flow.
