Help: my 245 Dt won´t run after clean the fuel filter

[pdrmadeira]

After removing and cleaning the fuel filter, I restarted the tractor and it worked fine for a while; then it stop without fuel...

I rechecked and found I forgot to open the fuel cock after mounting the filter back!!!
then I open it and it didn´t start , so I remove the filter again, just to check, reinstalled it and open the cock before tightening the filter cap completely to let the air out of the filter and make sure it was completely filled with fuel, no air, but unfortunetly it still doesn´t work

can any one help me on how to fix it ?
( the tractor was working fine so far...)
thank you all
Pedro

You need to bleed all the air out of the system. There should be a bleeder by the fuel injection pump. Open the bleeder till you get solid fuel out of it. Then close the bleeder.

Then loosen the injector lines at the fuel injectors. Pull out the decompression knob and crank the engine over till the injectors start spurting out fuel. Then tighten lines, and try to start. You may have to do this a couple times to get all the air out.
