Have you ever heard of the hydraulic system needing bleeding? I don't know how long the hyd. filter has been on tractor but the fluid is clean. I'll change filter just to be sure it's ok. It has a old Fram P1653A. No sump screen or filter correct?

The system will bleed itself but you may need to help the pump establish prime. Put on a clean filter and check/replace suction side hoses and clamps to make sure there are no vacuum leaks. If it still does not self prime take the top pipe off the pump and pour a liberal spoonfull of clean oil in the port.

Give me the serial number of the tractor so I can see about a pump source.
