Thank you! Yes that seems logic now. I only have one filter, it's the long type! One more thing that I didn't mention, was that when I cleaned and resealed the high pressure diesel pump, I discovered something strange. After soaking many of the parts in fresh diesel to clean them I noticed a hole straight through on the end-plate(where the diesel line comes in to the pump) there are two positions for a small pin there, and I suspect the previous owner have perhaps gotten that endplate from another pump and changed the position of that pin, maybe knocking it in with two much force? Maybe it had weakened the metall or maybe he had fixed the hole with JB weld or something?Anyways it was not leaking there before. I just saw that hole first time after cleaning it.
So I soldered that hole as a temporarily fix. After remounting everything the tractor started up and ran nicely. However after about 20 minutes I saw that my solder had cracked and fine diesel mist was spraying out from there.
That's why the tractor sat for maybe two months before I got the new endplate from china and mounted that on. I now wonder if that leak could have caused pressure imbalance in the pump? Maybe breaking some of the spirngs in there, or pushing the plunger so far up that it would get stuck or something.
