New Holland TC29 stopped running

Your description of the engine trying to start is extremely confusing. Does the engine turn over, or not with the starter? 'Churning' is kinda confusing, then you say it doesn't turn over, but you say it is not getting fuel..... If it truely is not turning over, then you have other problems as well. Huh????? :)

I have a 1720 Ford which would probably be similar, assumming this is a diesel.

When I empty the plastic fuel bowl and replace the filter I don't tighten the ring and bowl into position until I have turned the fuel back on and allowed the air to escape while it fills. Once full I tighten the retainer ring to the proper tightness.

On the diesel pump there is a small hand pump, usually with any diesel you must loosen it by turning the knob of it backward or by some other means, and then lift it.

There will be a bleeder screw or bolt which you must loosen so that when you pump the lines back full of fuel the air can escape.

With the bleeder in the open position a few pumps should bring fuel to the bleeder. Tighten the bleeder, place the hand pump back as original, and the tractor should attempt to start when you engage the starter.

If this is a gasoline tractor then the above will not apply. If a gas tractor stops dead it is usually the result of an electrical failure rather than fuel.

Howsomevers: Iff'n you bought your TC29 NEW, then you should have owners manual. Have you read about "bleeding" your diesel? Thats the ONLY way to gitt that air-bubble outta yer fuelfilter.

Theres alotta reasons diesels quit and they's ain't all stricktly fuel. You should have an electrically opperated fuel cut-off solenoid, check that wire.

Your starting description is somewhat confusing. Watch yer fanbelt while you're crankin' yer engine, it gotta turn to run yer waterpump and alternator. That'll clue yer engine turn-over vs starter drive engagement question..... ....respectfully, Dell, the clue-less
