O.T. No brakes on John Deere 2550

My dad has a JD 2550. I helped him replace the hydraulic fluid and filter. We were having trouble installing the filter canister on right, (it kept bl owing off when starting the tractor). There was a hose attached to the cani ster that I removed, thinking it was causing the canister to go on cocked. Well, we got the canister on with no leaks but had no brakes. I assume some how air got into the system when that hose was removed. He attempted to ble ed the brakes using the bleeder screws on top of the drive housing. (I was not there). He said it did not do any good.

My dad is 70 and I would like to be able to get this running for him. Is th ere anything I can do to pinpoint the problem? I was thinking of building a vacuum bleeder to bleed the brakes, using a pump sprayer for the canister and connecting my refrigeration vacuum pump. (I will have to fix this by my self as my dad will probably be at work).

This tractor also has a front bucket on it if that makes a difference.

Any help is appreciated!
