so you have a common sump system , if the 3 pt. lift works properly you should be able to eliminate the pump, it could be something with the steering control at the base of the steering column or the cylinder . I guess a pressure gauge connected to the steering output to see if it is sending out fluid to activate the cylinder. Maybe if it is easy do two gauges one on each input.
try bleeding the steering system air can give no action in steering, of course if the steering system has it’s own reservoir make sure there is fluid to the level mark , also running to heavy of fluid in the steering will make it vague until heat makes it thin out.
That was just for the connectors, the valve body I think you will need to go elsewhere. I do not know where you are but try Ranch Hand I think they are in Texas. They should be able to get you started.
I went to tractor supply and got pioneer brand off the shelf. They got the different colored dust caps too. But I do not have a loader on my tractor they were used on the remotes. I believe they are the same.
I am kinda leaning on the over pressure relief with the system disconnected from the loader and you are not activating any controls and you blow a seal what else could it be? The only thing else would be the valve body activating pressure when it should not be and not bypassing. I guess.
I am guessing but I would say the starter was stuck and the electrical system could not deliver the amount of amps the starter relay wanted so it popped the fuse. You bypassed the fuse when you used a screwdriver and give the starter a bunch of amps it wanted and it freed up. IT is a guess. Keep a eye on your fuel bowl for water and other junk since the tractor has sat for so long hopefully with a full tank.
you might want to ask around to see if anyone you know has a diesel engine compression gauge that would give you some info. so you can figure this out. Harbor freight used to have them less than 100.00 if I remember right.
