Pump is usually at the front, driven by a Uj jointed shaft from the front of the crankshaft, oil leaking in the back and no hyd pressure is a burst pipe somewhere before the rear control block

There is a pressure feed pipe which runs from the front loader spool block along the chassis over the back axle and to the back-actor spool block.. My money is that has split and thrown all the oil out

I'm no help to you on the JCB problem but do please put up some photos of the railway setup when you get a bit done. Sounds great.

You need another person to look for source of leak but check oil level first
Avoid JCB dealer to do job as you will
receive an horrendous bill
