That system has a long suction run from the bevel gear compartment up to the front mounted pump. May have to prime the pump to get it working. I don't see any mention of a bleed screw???
Thanks for the reply, do you know how would i go about priming the pump? Is the pump mounted on the engine on the left side towards the fromt with the 2 half inch lines running into it? Mine has a bleeder screw located directly under the seat where the line runs into the rear end... maybe someone added it there later.

Problem solved! I opened up the filter and Poured a bit of oil in there and started it up and it works fine now. Thanks
