Welcome to TBN!

Do you have the owner's manual and/or service manual for the tractor? Each machine is a bit different, and some have a process for priming the pump after a fluid and filter change. Some don't require a priming process, but will require you to remove any air from the system (which is likely causing your problem), and some it doesn't seem to matter.

The big thing is to check the manuals, or call a dealer before you try running the machine any longer. It's possible to ruin the pump by turning it without enough fluid in it...usually a problem with larger machines, but not worth messing with just in case.

I have the owners & shop manuals .it says to check linkage, did looks fine. I did bread the air also.

Update : The case problem was that the oil pump could mut suck up the Hyd fluid from the tank .fix put about 14 psi pressure on/ in the tank to help push the oil up to the pump .prob fixed .
Thank everyone for the help.

That makes sense....glad it worked out. Next time you can avoid needing to pressurize the tank with air by raising the FEL fully before changing the fluid. Obviously, you need to be careful with a raised FEL (probably block it), but after the fluid change, lowering the FEL will force fluid into the tank under pressure and reprime the pump.

Will remember to do that next time. Thanks
