Hi: We wanted to post a follow up to describe how we got our tractor running. Following the instruction from Roger (MI)and not getting any fuel to the second filter we decided to replace the first filter. The assumption was that if fuel would not enter the second filter after loosening the pressure release spring then the problem was in the first filter. However after replacing the first filter the same symptoms were present. Now this required some serious thinking. There is fuel at the first filter but it will not go to the second filer. We actually removed the second filter canister and applied pressure as per the bleed instructions with no fuel spilling out. Not knowing the path the fuel took to go from filter one to filter two we decided to remove the pressure relief valve. Now the fuel flows. So the solution was to remove the pressure relief valve and then to bleed as described. This allowed us to bleed all three filters after which we replaced the pressure relief valve and the tractor starts and runs. We do not understand why turning the pressure relief valve plug loose does not allow the fuel to flow but with the plug in place and the relief valve removed the bleed was successful. We just wanted to share this follow up. Thanks for all the help. MB and PC
