Running shredder and tractor acted like it ran out of fuel. I pulled filter and it was Dirty. Changed it, primed system and no start. I bled the lower bleeder on IP and got fuel, no air coming out. I opened the upper bleeder on IP, nothing. Opened lower again and it fired up, ran about 15 minutes, then acted like it ran out of fuel. Opened lower bleeder and got fuel, upper bleeder nothing. Cracked first 3 injector lines at injector and got fuel but no start. Double check the kill/fuel shutoff and it appears to be in correct orientation/normal movement. Pulled line off lift pump to the filter and fuel squirts out a good 2' in alternating squirts, not aa solid stream which I assume is correct. In pic you see the wrench on the lower bleed port, fuel comes out. The port right above it, nothing but have fuel at injectors coming out. I have not completely disconnected the injector lines yet. Going to pull the new filter and see what comes out.
This is a new to me tractor, just got it. Ran great for about a week.
Am I missing something?

Got it figured out, pulled tank and full of rust . Is there a good place to get a new one besides Amazon?
Full of flaking rust. I guess bouncing around pasture yesterday and this AM knocked a bunch loose.
Is there a way to flush the IP while I wait for tank? Gonna flush all the fuel lines

Deal with the tank. Don't worry about the pump. Messing around there will only do more harm than good.
