Loosen the injector pipe at No 1 injector. turn engine over until you see diesel fluid spurting.
Retighten and it should go.

I worked for a MF tractor dealership doing road service cals. These Perkins engines can be really difficult to prime. My advice would be to keep priming, and check for any leaks. A cracked glass bowl on the bottom of the fuel filter can cause the engine to lose prime, as can a leaking o-ring. Make sure that the entire fuel system has been re-assembled properly, maybe invest in a repair manual, always a good choice. And remember, a tractor is just a piece of iron, not very smart, and incredibly stubborn. Take a deep breath, and you"ll get it. Hope this helps.
