On start up the pump makes a loud humming noise then quiets down a little.
On day 3 the same happens again the hydraulic temperature goes to high and i shut the tractor down allowing it to cool down. After cool down i restart it but this time it goes forward and backwards but does not turn left nor right, neither does the ripper or the dozer pan goes up.
Can this be a pump failure? If yes. Which pump should i be looking at?Thanking you in advance

The symptoms you are experiencing as expected could very well be a pump failure occurring. To troubleshoot this, first look inside your hydraulic filter and suction screen for any signs of fine metal or debris that will look like glitter in the oil or filter. If found, you most definitely have a pump or component failure in need of replacement after cleaning out the complete system of contamination since you do not want to contaminate any new pumps or components by leaving any of this contamination or metal in your system which will only create further damage. If clean however, you will want to have your pressures tested and confirmed whether or not they are within factory specifications for your service book on your model and serial number. It's a pleasure to help anyway I can.
