I guess I would need to cut open an old fuel filter to see how it works, but I would think one would NOT want to try and drain it while the tractor is running as that opens up the system. It does not surprise me that it died. Others please correct me if you think I am wrong.
Before you go cracking injectors, watch this video this tractor has the same fuel filter set-up as the tractor you are working on. Then fill the tank, change the fuel filter and fill it before you put it on. See if it will start up. If not try bleeding again.

I have attached the page from the manual for bleeding. What you are talking about locking down applies if there is a hand primer, which based on your pictures is NOT what you have.
Here is the manual.
