In most cases, the system will "self-bleed" as you use the tractor, and steer it. However, if the oil leaked out, and the pump was run dry for any length of time, it may be ruined.

You may want to jack up the front wheels and turn the steering wheel to each side, left - right to each extreme to get the air out of the system.
I"ve never had to do this when working on my 350 with the CharLynn unit, but don"t know about your case for sure.

BE CAREFUL AND BLOCK THE TRACTOR UP _ DON"T LEAVE IT ON THE JACKS WITHOUT SOMETHING BLOCKING UP THE FRONT END _ EMERGENCY BRAKE ON _ REAR WHEELS CHOCKED!!!

Check for any leaks that may be robbing you of hyd pressure. Don"t know if you have filter, but that or the lines may be clogged with junk as well.
If that doen"t remedy the problem, check the pump pressure with a gauge - your pump may be shot from running the tractor with the resevoir dry and you"ll need a new steering pump.
