About a week ago Dad started up our IH 484 and drove it a short distance before the engine slowed right down to an idle and stopped. It had plenty of fuel in the tank, but the primary fuel filter was full of black gunk that looked like grease or something. We figgure the fuel filters were way past due for changing now. Anyways, in my father's messing around with it, he exchanged sides with the gunk filled fuel filter and put it on the secondary side.
I have gone out and bought new fuel filters now and they have both been replaced, the lines we have tried to get bled out, and there seems to be fuel going through the injection pump ok, however, the tractor will not start.
My father did a lot of messing around with the fuel system, taking all the lines apart and blowing compressed air through them. I think he even tried taking out the injectors themselves and cleaning those the best he could too, but there wasn't too much he could do with those he said. Anyways, she will not run, won't even try to run.
I have suspicions that in my fathers messing around and putting that gunk filled filter on the secondary side, that some of that gunk got sucked up and possibly plugged those injectors.
Looking for a lowest cost diagnosis and solution since we don't have the small fortune the local Case IH dealer is going to charge to get it running again. My local dealer is the type that tells people everything is junk and needs replacing, even when it doesn't.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
