Drain, replace filter, bleed as per manual, should fix it. Might want to add some diesel fuel conditioner to the tank, as cold weather is coming...

If your tractors fuel tank has a drain in the bottom similar to my M7040 I'd suggest to drain the water out. I'd also suggest to add a biocide fuel conditioner as you certainly don't want to have to contend with algae growing in your fuel tank. During Summer I told my employee to check coolant in rad on my JD 4255 which has fuel tank in frt of radiator. He mistakenly added 2 gallons of distilled water to fuel tank. I let tractor sit a couple of hrs then drained 2 gallons of water out of tank added biocide and it's been running fine ever since

Might run some "Diesel 911" from Power Service through it. It takes care of most issues like water, algae, bacteria.
