Help! My tractor (backhoe) won't start...so I changed the fuel filters, then bled the filters and also fuel pump with bleed screw but still not getting fuel to injectors ....any suggestions would be appreciated. I just purchased this tractor so I not too familiar with it. I've only worked on old farm tractors (they had a prime pump to bleed system, I guess this newer stuff doesn't?)Appreciate any help.
Thanks, C Hunter

Use an air hose and pressurize the fuel tank make sure you have fuel flowing from the inj. pump.Not just dribbling out and look for air bubbles.Crack one injector at a time and let the air purge out .Thighten the line while the engine is being cranked over.do the other lines in the same manner,let the inj.bleed for a fair amount of time.DO NOT LET THE STARTER OVERHEAT.GOOD LUCK

It,s probaly dirt in the fueltank that is blocking the hole to the hose that leads to the fuel filter, try to disconnect the hose on the filter side and blow a litle air into the tank with a little bicycle pump.
