took line off of the top filter past fuel pump and had a good healthy stream filter filled up quickly when replacedwhen it cranked the 3rd time....any smoke at all? WAS the cranking speed the same as it always has been?
When you checked fuel pump - what does that mean exactly?
Did you bleed the system after fuel filter replacement?took line off of the top filter past fuel pump and had a good healthy stream filter filled up quickly when replaced
noDid you bleed the system after fuel filter replacement?
on that model......
that is what I am coming to believe as well thanks and ill try that tomarrow b4 going to get new solenoidon that model......
after changing filters...
turn key to "on" for 30 seconds........
you should hear a "buzzing" noise......fuel pump - pumping fuel.....
after 30 seconds - try to start.
Could be the fuel solenoid too.
so thanks to all who had tried to help me I finally got it running after trying to bleed the fuel system and no luck I decided to remove fuel rail after taking it apart and no immediate flaws or defects I put it all back together , called the co op and was about to talk to service man , realized the battery was low so jumped it with truck and guess what started up , don't know if it was a low battery the whole time or what never did get the fuel rail to bleeed out though. so all in all it cost me a half tank of gas, a scolding on orange tractor talk, 2 gas filters that probably didn't need replaced,2 days of total frustration and a jump to get it started like I thought it was something stupid and you would think true mechanics would know to check that, like I said I don't wrench hate it but with the right knowledge even a chore such as this could be easy enough again thanks all I took every ones advice and applied what was reasonableI wouldn't start replacing parts because you "believe" some part is not working. Learn about your machine. Buy a workshop manual for that purpose, and an owner's manual. Then absorb them. You'll learn about glow plugs/function/operation, and changing filter/bleeding air, and other maintenance.
You may not do wrenching, but understanding your tractor can help to not have to pay someone else to do the wrenching!
