Sorry about the slow response. I've been checking every manual I can find for a pump priming procedure, but no luck.
The reservoir vent is under the seat. Starting at the center of the reservior lid, the vent is a couple of inches toward the front of the tractor and a couple of inches toward its right side. There are two different styles. One looks like a small metal cube with a horizontal cylinder sticking out of it about the size of your thumb. The other reminds me of a mushroom maybe 3 inches in diameter. Both styles just unscrew. If you decide to blow some air into that hole, be sure to cover it with a rag so you don't get an oil shower.
Parking the tractor facing downhill? That just might work.
According to the parts manual there is a screw in the very top of the hydraulic pump housing, right where the pump gears are. This screw serves as a plug to hold a spring and a check ball in place. That would seem to imply that it wouldn't hurt to remove those parts and put some fluid in that hole -- but don't do it on my say-so. Get someone else to confirm it first.
Finally, try not to run the engine too long if you think you may have an unprimed pump. The pumps don't like to run dry, and they're a little on the expensive side.

Once started it putted along pretty good. It
