How do I prime hydrosat for cub cadet 3225

[timt505]

I had to replce the aux hydraulic pump on my cub cadet 3225. I had the pump and hydrostat drained. When I put it all back together I still have no oil flow, Do I need to prime or bleed this system and if so, how exactly would I do it?

G'day pull the outlet hose of the pump and crank the eng over without starting it when you get oil flow there you should be able to start up and operate trans through full operation with the drive wheels off the ground. Good luck

Thanks for the input I'll give it a try tomorrow. Do you know which line is the output and which is the return? The input from the filter is on one side and on the other side is it the top or bottom line that I should disconnect?
Thanks again.

G'day sorry can't help you as to which hose is which but if they are different sizes the larger will be the inlet, if it is a screw on filter it is possible that it may be on the suction side but that is not always the case. Good luck hope this makes it as clear as mud
