unlikely that the pump would suddenly quit.  You MAY have a linkage problem where the cam and cam follower are not working correctly.  OR... it MAY have separated and broke the cam  plate, due to a broken trans mission mounting plate.  That would allow the tractor to flex in the middle and break the nylon cam. Also look at the pump pulley...is it splined or use a woodruff key.  If the latter, maybe the key sheared off.

Is the belt still there? How about the engage/disengage lever position?

If the lift cylinder will not work it is not likely to be the cam plate...more likely a belt issue or the input pulley has started slipping on the pump shaft....
