Wanted to let you know what happened. We overfilled the transmission and disconnected the pressure line from the hydraulic pump. Bumped the engine and that didn't work. Next up, I unbolted the filter housing from the pump, rigged up a funnel to get the filter full and backfill the suction line. That did take a little bit of time, but not bad. I re-mounted the filter housing, Oiled the top of the pump outlet. Started the tractor at a low idle, got a couple of slugs of air and the oil cleared. Reconnected the pressure line, re-started the engine, and in a matter of a seconds the system refilled and the 3 pt. works again.
I did pull the cover and watched the return flow while operating the selector valve and saw no noticeable change in the flow rate. I figure it probably needs some tweaking, maybe pulled and cleaned up. But since it has been stuck for quite some time, I'm not too worried about it.
Dad and I wanted to make sure that we thanked you for your advice. It kind of blew his mind that someone in Australia had the answer we needed. Thank you again.
