"Dad said it smoked when he tried to start it this morning. I don't know why any of those other things would've been off. I don't think it has glow plugs. The tractor hasn't given us any other trouble so I'd be surprised if compression was the issue. Seems to have good flow up to the filter for fuel. I dont know about after the filter."
That sounds like glow plugs
But, you stated ran for an hour limped back restarted after an hour after it cooled down
Not a glow plug related issue although have to agree they start much better using the glow plugs.
Now As Steve Questioned
"Are you getting fuel to the injectors?"
If this a fuel problem crack one of the fittings,(while cranking) I can't remember if mine had a bled screw? but if you have good flow with out air. It should run, If it doesn't then there is something else going on.
Like Steve@Advance posted, follow his line of diagnosis, try to answer his questions.
My personal experience is that I had B7500 for 17 years and wish I still had it, but sold it to get a bigger tractor.
I had aftermarket fuel filter issues returned to kubota brand solved it.
Fuel cap vent plugged clean the vent solved.
They really don't like dirty air cleaners dramatic smoke and power loss. Make sure you check or change both.
Never had a glow plug fail but originally used to think I would use them up if I used them all the time. Got over that much easier on engine to use regularly.
Had a wire connection corrode for the fuel solenoid cleaned replaced connector -solved. Also used several other pieces of equipment that had Kubota engines the largest issue of all was failure of the fuel solenoid but mostly because of wiring problems.
Only real complaint was that I would have to blow the radiator out couple times when mowing alot. just had to learn to keep it clean.

I'm assuming you've bled it properly following service?

The more information you can give the better the answers will be.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
