If I have trouble get hand pump to pump fuel of tractor has no hand pump I CAREFULLY squirt compressed air into the fuel tank filler neck while using a rag to contain the air to force fuel out the loosened bleeder opening.

Here is a URL to the operators manual. After reading the manual, if you can not get it to bleed you might want to watch this video

That note about having the fuel tank full is important. It helps bring the fuel down to the filter and hand pump.
I don't like that on my 5045 the fuel filter is on the right side of the engine and the injector pump on the left. You can't pump the priming pump and observe the bleed screw for bubbles at the same time. PITA if your by yourself.
