Sounds like she lost prime on the MCV pump. But to be dure here make sure that the three point goes up and down . IF that works then run the engine at around 2000 RPM and if the steerwheel is free floating then turn the steering wheel to the left as this will help bleed the air out of the system and help it pick up prime . Got to remember she is getting old and i'll bet you don't pick up prime to fast anymore either.

I have two 706s that do that after they set.On one I had to take the bleeder plug out on the MCV to get the air out it is right below the two cooler lines.
