Also...I forgot to mention that I ran the tractor over the weekend...no sputtering during startup...no sputtering after running...My problem must have simply been air in the system due to fuel filter change...

Good news. Might add some di-lectric grease to the fuses to prevent the problem in the future.

Thanks for the tip...already did it! Believe it or not, I cleaned the fuses (elec spray) and used grease prior to this problem. I guess the fuses just needed a good sanding/scuffing as well as grease...I might go ahead and replace all of the fuses with new ones in the near future.

Does anyone have recommendations for new fuel line? I think I have a slow drip between the fuel pump and the filtet next to the motor. I might just go ahead and replace all fuel lines. I assume they are original.

I replaced the 2 fuel lines between the pump and the engine yesterday. This fixed my diesel drip. I could not find any holes in the old lines though. I assume the lines were original and were leaking near the engine fuel filter.

I have been getting the Gates Barricade fuel hose.

Barricade(R) Fuel Injection Hose (MPI) | Gates Corporation

Not cheap but it is supposed to be good.

Thanks for the tip. I already bought several other lines that I will replace later. I have the one that goes between the first fuel filter and the fuel pump and also several return line pieces. The 2 I replaced fixed my problem, so I am happy right now.

If anyone is interested...the fuel supply lines are 5/16"...I finished replacing the last 2 small sections between the tank and fuel pump yesterday. I am going to start replacing the return lines within the next week or so.

Does anyone know the size of the return lines? They are smaller than the 5/16" supply lines. I am guessing that they are 1/4"? I will try to measure within the next few days.

So I bought 6 ft of 4.8mm fuel line to replace my return line. Seemed to work fine. I need to go back and reinstall the loom and zip ties.
