I am certain that there are other ways than what I am going to suggest. However, here is what I would do. Charge the battery and have a good charger on hand. Have a can of starter fluid available. Turn off fuel and remove the old filter(s) and fill the replacement new ones with clean fuel and install them with the fuel turned on and spilling. Clean up all spilled fuel. Loosen only the fuel line connections to the injectors at the injectors. Move(pull) the fuel lines to verify that they are loose ( a small movement is O K) from the injectors. Pull down on the throttle control. Remove the inlet air filter. Crank the engine over with the starter and observe for fuel spewing from the loose connections at the injectors. Caution, Do not crank excessively to overheat the starter. Once you see fuel leaking at the injectors stop cranking and promptly tighten the loosened fittings. Set the throttle for a little more than idle, put the charger on the battery, get the starter fluid in hand, start cranking the engine and then and only then spray a little starting fluid into the breather canister. When the engine hits if it does not want to run on its own spray a little starter fluid again and continue this until it is running on its own. It may be running rough but will clean itself up after a few minutes. Happy tractoring!
