#1 throw that starting fluid back on the shelf, you'll do some serious damage to a Kubota with it.
#2 You can't "try" and bleed the injector, you must do it or it will not start.

Did you verify that the glow plugs are getting hot?

Make sure the compression release on the valve cover isn't stuck and that there aren't any obstructions in the air intake anywhere (like a mouse nest). Make sure that the fuel shutoff on the tank is FULLY open.
Make sure the fuel shutoff on the injector pump is in the run position.
Bleed the pump before trying to start? Sure you did it correctly?
The motor should've fired with ether, but it isn't good for it at all.
Glow plugs might be an issue, but it should at least try to start even without them (he's in Florida).
