Have a b2920 tractor was out mowing was running fine was only out about an hour noticed was very low on fuel but not out and stop mowing. Came back about week later fueled up the tractor. Started it right up ran fine gave a little throttle and sputtered and stalled. Wil crank but is not hitting at all. Was just serviced had all new filters put on. Say there is less then 5 hour on them.

I think I would try the priming procedure for running out of fuel. It’s probably relatively easy, and would rule that out as a potential issue.

Was the fuel added DIESEL fuel? - I don't remember the symptoms of having gasoline in a diesel engine, but have read posts about accidently having gasoline added to the fuel tank.
The reason that I am mentioning this is that you did not indicate any problems prior to adding 'fuel' so I am thinking that something is probably wrong with the added fuel like water or foreign material in the diesel or adding the wrong fuel.

Was it warm and then cold where you are Last week? Empty tanks invite condensation on the inside. Now you might have water in yer fuel.
