I got the engine running with no problem, and i got the hydraulic that operates my dump bed working with no problems at all.I also got the brakes working to, but the Hydrovac Brake Booster is not coming on to assist the brakes.Can anybody point me in the right direction as what i need to do. Any suggetion would be appreciated

Make shure the breather is clean. It,s usually in the cab behind the seat.

I drove my 54 for almost 5yrs without the unit working. Let it set over winter, and next spring it started to work by itself again.
Rebuilds are expensive, and if a Midland, you have to send out, they won't sell you parts. Yes, you can drive w/out boost, just brakes harder, and have to start slowing earlier, than if you had working unit.
