Tractor Repair: 801 ford, fuel flow, diesel

Question
I have recently rebuilt the engine on my 801 ford. I am not getting fuel through the lines. I have already replaced the filter. Do you have any other ideas?

Answer
Hello,

  You didn't specify gas or diesel, but from your description, it sounds like this might be a diesel.
  If this is a diesel, make sure you have good fuel flow from the tank.  Bleed the filter first and make sure there is good fuel flow to the injection pump.  Loosen the injection line fittings at the injectors and turn the engine over until fuel squirts out, then tighten the fittings again.  If you still can't get fuel to the injectors, then the injection pump will need repairs.
