John Deere 6125e
Hello there. This is my first post here and unfortunately i'm starting out asking for help. I'd be really thankful if someone could give me a few insights on what to do. My brother and I own a John Deere (a new 6125e, to be more precise) that was working perfectly up until yesterday when i decided to bleed the fuel filter, as the maintenance people had told me to do so periodically. After that the engine didn't start anymore. We're all assuming some air got into the fuel feed system or into the pump, but a mecanic that came to take a look a the tractor and tried to bleed the air out through the pump couldn't get it to run again (for what it's worth, the mecanic, a kind elderly person, said himself "I just got back to this line of work and I don't really know much about these newer injection models" and decided "not to poke around"). Now, I've looked up some information and read that some JD tractors have an "auto-bleed" function for the fuel lines, but i don't know how to do it on my own JD, or if it does have that feature, and i can't find technical information in english(as the 6e series is not marketed in the US and english speaking Europe, it's an equivalent of other 100-140 hp "6" series) or portuguese (my native language) for my model. Could anyone shed some light on this for me? I've looked for the fuel shut off valve on the fuel tank but I think the 6125e doesn't have one of those. Is an "auto-bleed" possible on this model? And if it is, what's the right way to do it? P.S: sorry for the long post, any comments/help will be apreciated.

Also, this might be relevant: another person tried to work it with the filter bleed valve open. Anyone have any ideas about what might have happened?
P.S: i've found some info on Tractor Data. Have you ever had a similar model, maybe? I've tried looking for the fuel shut off valve but got nothing. I don't know if it's right, but people told me that if i can set it to the O position i could bleed out the air using the hand pump to send fuel through the feeding system. Thanks!
