Mike,

Don't feel too bad about running it out of fuel. About 5 yrs ago, my dad was using his tractor to clean out a new pond we dug before it filled up with water. He ran it out of diesel right in the bottom of the pond late one afternoon, then he went home and called me to tell me I needed to fix it. He's never really figured out how to bleed it properly, the injector pump has a port on the back he forgets about.

By the time he called me, it was 5pm and I was at work 70 miles away, with rain in the forecast. By the time I got there, it was starting to sprinkle. I had my wife sit up at the edge of the pond with the headlights of the truck shining on me. I got the lines bled and got it running again standing in the mud in the bottom of the pond. By the next morning, it was about 3 ft deep!

I remind him of that anytime he needs me to work on his tractor for him... ;-)
