After replacing fuel filters and cleaning bowl. I cannot get the diesel to fire, appears not to have fuel out the injectors. however only guessing. Is this a bleeding of air problem ? Thanks

I had the same problem when I replaced the fuel filter on my electric start 830 last year. Got mine to go by belting it to another tractor and turning it with the bleed plugs removed. Once fuel came out the bleed plugs, tightened them up and it started right up. If you have a pony start, just turn it with the pony with compresion released until fuel flows. Others told me they put a few lbs of pressure on the fuel tank to get the fuel to flow out of the bleed plugs. Others said a full tank of fuel helps. Hope this helps. Al

Your operator's manual shows where and how many bled plugs to remove.
