That hand and foot throttle work separately if you put the hand throttle in the low idle position the foot peddle work without moving the hand lever.
I'm not familiar with the all hydraulic steering. My Farmall 706 has no mechanical linkage either.
My 203 has mechanical and power steering. Yours is newer.
Your rear axle is what my 203 has. It also has planetary gears out by the wheels. Those have their own oil. They aren't lubricated by the oil in the differential. Check the oil in both sides.
The front axle sounds the same as my 203 with 1 1/2 inch spindles accept mine has hydraulic cylinders and also mechanical links going from the spindle back to the steering box.
Some pto levers also have a ground speed position also. I have not looked at that on mine. The engine and transmission have kept me busy..
I'm not at all familiar with the shuttle tranny. I have six speeds 3 high and 3 low. Its looking like you have a newer 203 than I have with the all hydraulic steering.
Most of these models had a front mounted pump. I'm betting your front pump failed at some time and the other owner used a pto pump. A front mounted pump is better in my opinion. You may need the pto for a different attachment. I don't think the pto pump is factory. Someone could have mounted the loader and backhoe from another tractor and mounted the rear pump.
Does your paint on the backhoe/loader match the tractor. Layers of paint can tell if something was addedl
Below are what is needed for a front pump.
The round plate bolts to the flywheel pully and shaft goes through the axle pivot.. It mounts with flexing rubber bushings for minor misalignment.
The shaft goes though your hollow front axle pivot and the pump bolts to a flange on the axle.
Look and see if your front axle may have had a pump mounted.
