I recently changed the engine oil/filter and the fuel filter on my 2810. No problem with the oil/filter change - pretty easy.

Had to lightly tap the notched ring (above the plastic fuel bowl) with a screw driver to get it to loosen. Changed the filter, and thought all was well - until I tried restarting engine. Engine would not start. My resident 'tractor advisor' friend suggested that air had gotten into the system. He showed me how to bleed air out of the fuel delivery system by loosening one nut while cranking the engine. Sure enough, that did the trick and engine came to life. I had purchased a hydraulic filter too expecting to change the fluid, but I'll have to save this project for another day.
