593 Fuel filter replacement

[likembikem]

Going to replace fuel filter soon. It has a couple of times ran rough then died at start up. I drained fuel from the filter/ separator and it started and ran fine. Figure water in fuel. Before replacing I have looked for a hand/ primer pump and can't find one. The AGCO parts diagram shows filter and looks like where it mounts to is called a pump (?) Still not seeing a manual pump. I would like to know about this before I start this job. It is a 2006 593. Maybe it primes itself?

Just FILL THE FILTER before installing & once it starts, hold the rpm's to almost full speed until u hear the rpms stumbling & pick back up.. DONE..
thats just air making its way out of the system..

Thanks, that's good news. I'll be doing just that. Had some strong storms here last night and I got some clean up to do first. By Sunday I should be able to change the filter. Thanks again.
