Anybody have a new holland 3930?

[AlbertC]

I have a 1999 new holland 3930. My tractor has a one cartridge fuel/ water separator. It does not look like the picture that came with my owners manual that shows two cartridge set up with a fuel filter and sediment separator.

I want to change the filter but am unsure about what to do, specifically whether or not I will have to bleed the system. I know that I need to shut off the fuel, remove old filter, fill new filter with fuel and re-install the new filter and then turn the shut off back on. But do I have to bleed the system anywhere or just try to start it back up.

Thanks for any help.

You'll probably have to bleed the pump. Sometimes you can get lucky and it'll start. There's a bolt on top of the pump you loosen until fuel comes out, and then it's usually good to go.

This, but I have never gotten lucky. Always had to bleed.

Probably an aftermarket filter, but should have a bleed screw on top of the filter head. Do the procedure you described including bleeding the filter, then start the tractor with at least half throttle.
