Hi I've owned my massey for almost 3yrs now . bought used w/ 117hr on it. fluids/filters were all changed before purchasing. I just started having a fuel issue where I was having some random hesitation power drop off. So I changed the fuel filter and it was pretty dirty. After I cleaned it out ran great for a couple days and then I started having the hesitation power drop off, where I hit the gas and wont even rev up and it dies. So I'm wondering what should I do next ..... Check out the injectors , pump? not really sure where to go from here. all help is appreciated.

Can you see into the tank? I have carefully dropped a small light bulb down in them to illuminate the interior and especially the bottom of the tank.
If the filter was really dirty, I might spring for one more filter change before going to something more expensive.

When you say the filter was "pretty dirty" ... Was it dark slimy gunk?
If so, you need a biocide to kill the buggers in the tank and fuel lines, will probably take a couple more filter changes after that ...
The microbes live in the tiny space between any water in the tank and the diesel fuel floating on top of that, they feed on the diesel ... there waste and dead bodies plug up the filter!
