Hello guys,
Dad ran the tractor dry of fuel and we are having trouble getting it to start. We've got fuel through the water separator and the filter, so I figure it's at least to the pump. I know once it's running we can crack the fuel lines at the injectors to bleed the air, but right now we have no fuel up there yet.

Does anyone have a really good description of how to get the old girl started again?

Much appreciated!
Thank you.

You need to crack the line at the injectors before you start cranking. Watch for fuel and then tighter. Once it starts bleed each injector till it runs smoothly.

Loosen bolt on pump housing its right on the front facing you- takes a 1\2 inch wrench- get fuel there then go to your injectors
