Default 1541 hydraulic problem

About a week ago, while mowing, the drive coupling sheared on my 1541. I got a new drive shaft assy yesterday, and installed it today. I also changed the hydraulic fluid and filter. After doing the work, I was able to back out of the garage, stop, and now it won't move forward, or reverse. The lift operates very slowly also.
Before changing fluid and filter, I started it up to check the clearance on the fan, and the lift operated normally. (didn't drive the tractor)
Did something get air locked while changing the filter and fluid? If so, how do I go about bleeding the system?
Please help! my lawn desperately needs mowing.
thanks much,
Mike Schweim
