Do exactly what Mike says. I did a not to smart thing last summer. I noticed before hooking up my haybine the night before I was going to mow hay that the fuel sediment bowl on my JD 70 diesel that was seeping diesel. Didn't have a new gasket handy so I shut it off to fix later. The next morning checked everything out and fired her up and down the road I went. They can go a long ways on just a little fuel. I got at least two miles down road when I heard a miss. Thought that is strange when it dawned on me. To late I ran her dry. I had enough tools to bleed the filters but didn't know about the plug on the side of the motor. It wouldn't start. I pulled it off the road with the pony motor. Thank goodness for the pony motor. I had a nice walk home to get the truck and owners manual. It shows you real well how to do it. Fired right up once I bled the one on the side of the engine. Lesson learned. It died it the right place. I had just crossed a busy railroad and highway. That would have been a bit stressfull. Good Luck. John
