G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder, from wherever in the world you are.
Well, it's got to be something 'common' for that/those symptoms to occur. There must be a screen or valve within the hydraulic system that is gummed-up or sticking until you engage the steering, 'handraulically'. It's an older tractor and I don't know when the hydraulic fluid was replaced and the filter/screen cleaned.

Welcome to TBN
Since you have a newly purchased used tractor 1st/simplest thing to do is change hyd filter(JD part # AR75603) & check/clean hyd oil suction screen. One needs to drain hyd oil or block hyd filler hole with a plastic bag in order to create a vacuum to slow oil from draining. I suggest to perform my suggested maintenance then report back.

Thanks for your reply I changed oil and filter,cleaned the screen. I also opened the flush valve,, on the front hydraulic pump,with no results still got the same problem. Coming to you from Hallettsville,Texas.
I changed the oil and filter and cleaned the oil screan and flushed the front hydraulic pump. I also installed a control valve for the front end loader,closed system.
