Here goes my 1st post. My Dad ran my MX5200 with 18 hours into a tree top and busted the fuel line from the fuel pump to the fuel filter. I replaced the fuel line and bled the system using the bleeder on top of the filter housing. The tractor started right up and I moved it to my shed. Went back out an hour later and it won't crank. Bled the system several more times opening different fuel lines to verify fuel was present with no luck. Any ideas on how to bleed the fuel system? Thanks in advance.
Won't crank? (spin up) or won't start (fire)?

Your really worrying me! :eek:
That tractor does not have an fuel injection pump, it's a high pressure common rail system and is 100% electronically controlled.

Do you have Kubota Insurance on it?
If you do make a call to them and have a dealer fix it.

If you really want to do it yourself get the WSM (aka service manual) and follow it as you can so some seriously expensive damage to that tractor if you just randomly do things to the fuel system.

There is a bleeder in the top of the fuel filter housing.

Or...

turn key on, let it sit there with the key on for about 10 minutes, then attempt to start.
