Kubota L1500 will not start

stupidly run out of fuel

Fellows, this is not true. One runs the tractor out of fuel so the bottom of the tank can be checked for debris.

For the bleeding as per the [ Charlz, KJM ] last two posts. My B7100 acts requires exactly the same procedure.

What a huge relief! I don't feel so stupid anymore! If only I hadn't done it just when the mates arrived on the scene....

charlz: I know the operators manual says to crank to bleed, but the workshop manual doesn't and I didn't when I changed the filters. The pump top is below the tank level, so it does weep fuel nicely. Cranking gets the air out instantly(-ish) however.
