Ok, I've never worked on this type of tractor but maybe I have some advice to offer here that may help. On our 1999 Dodge diesel pickup what we have to do is there is a port that you open in the filter housing to allow fuel in. Now I'm uncertain how fuel is fed to the injection pump on this tractor IE mechanical pump, electric pump, or gravity feed. In any event if you don't have a port in the filter housing you will have to crack the filter loose enough to allow fuel to get in there while you have the pump going eithor by cranking it or manually pumping it ect ect. The system is airtight right now so the system isn't going to bleed any faster than what the injectors will let it, (not very fast particularly if it is a gravity feed system). Once you get fuel coming out of it you should be good to go there. Now if the engine still doesn't want to fire it's most likely that the injection pump has air in it and you have to loosen the banjo bolts going from the filter housing (if that is how that tractor is setup) or the fuel lines on the injection pump. Once you get fuel there you will have to loosen the lines going to the injectors to let air out and do this one line at a time on the injectors. Once the engine starts to run just tighten the injector line and go to the next one until it starts to straighten out. Getting it going the first time after it has been put into a (dry situation) can be a real PITA depending on the engine.
