Nice job on the install, it's a job well done and looks good besides.

Yes, looks pretty nice...

Also used Marvel Mystery Oil religiously (recommended by local dealer)...

The well known Spicer diesel fuel lubricity study pointed out that MM made diesel fuel lubricity WORSE. Maybe your dealer is selling future repairs or just uninformed?

- I am also relocating the electric fuel pump in engine compartment. Too much of a pain to access (nothing to do with current problem tho)..
.

I don't understand this- it is right there very easy to access. I'd be cautious about raising it, may be below tank level for a good reason. Pumps don't suck near as well as they push. :2cents:

few photos I took a while ago.

Is that a galvanized steel elbow I see in the first pic ?

Thanks for the information and the link. Since I'm new to tractors this is good information!

Nope, not this time...

Thanks for the compliments Chilly807 and Deano! I thought about it for a while... before I came up with the solution for all of my considerations.

A side note, when I installed all of this I was able to fill/bleed the Racor filter bowl by gravity, then took off the fuel line at the injector pump and ran the lift pump (by turning the key to the "run" position) until fuel started to come out of the line. I re-connected the fuel line at the injector pump and was able to start the tractor right up.
