Compact 4110 Lost Prime.......HELP PLEASE

[OakHaven]

Worker ran my 4110 JD out of fuel. Tractor won't start so I am guessing it lost prime. Can anyone please walk me through how to prime this model? Manual has no instruction. Layman's terms please....this girl is no tractor expert. Thanks!

:welcome:
Your tractor is set up to be self-priming, so should be no need to bleed it.

I'd suggest following the procedure in the manual for checking and cleaning the fuel filter and see if the tractor will then start. There will be some cranking time, but limit it to 20 seconds or so at a time. Should start unless there is some problem with bad fuel or slime in the fuel tank.

PS We are all laymen here so no need to worry. And just fire back with any questions.

I for one would like to hear the outcome of this so please take the time to reply with the solution. Knowledge is always useful. Good luck.

Well it turns out the run down fuel was not the problem after all. A gentleman made it out to look at it this evening and he found a loose wire. I am so glad I found my way to this site. Lots of great information and very helpful people. Thanks!
