We have enjoyed our 2002 TC35D hydrostatic front wheel drive tractor and “built” our 20 acres with it. My husband uses the front end loader nonstop, pushes pulls and hauls. We have had the front axle worked on before. The very gifted Mechanic Has been able to actually weld in order to re-create...
Neighbor came over army mechanic. Shot in ether. Fired up. Leak in steel line near bleeder screw area. Ran until we backed off throttle. At least now we know the real problem. Not sure how running out of diesel compounded into this. Thank you for help and caring.

Yes, since reading that recommendation. We are thinking the air is trapped in the fuel transfer pump that operates mechanically when the engine turns. It has two fuel lines attached. I know fuel is flowing in the input line(prior to reattaching it). We have strong gravity flow since the tractor...
Good news is we have bypassed (hardwired) all safeties years ago. Best thing we ever did. We have the new solenoid in. Tank is full. Good gravity fuel flow. I think we have an air lock. Have cracked open all 3 injector manifold “nuts” to bleed. Imperceptible fuel flow—bubbles? Nothing out of...

Got bubbles from #1 injector —nearest to driver. Need to charge battery. We have some hope. Going to go in for a break. #2 and #3 are loose. Ready for us when it cools off. I’m ordering solenoid.
Solenoid is out. It appears to be messed up because the casing on it turns and the threads are stationary if I hold them between my fingers. I’ll be ordering a new solenoid.
Meanwhile, the fuel is flowing to the bowl, the solenoid is out. The transfer pump is merely mechanical and the engine is...
Thank you for that. We may end up taking the solenoid back out to further illuminate it from the situation. Now, I’m back out at the tractor. I think we have everything ideal, except the solenoid is still in it. It will not bleed anywhere. I guess the next step is taking the solenoid back out.
At this point, we now have several factors going on and we don’t know which are most important. The fuel gauge never goes below a quarter tank. So he has once again run out of fuel. It happens every two years or so. we know how to bleed the system. I have changed the fuel cut off solenoid three...
