I will start by saying it has ran GREAT and i've never had any problems with it until now. it's got approx 1300hrs on it (i bought it used).
So i went out a few weeks ago to do some work and as i turned the key it sound like it sucked up water (gurgling sound) so i immediately stopped. i took off the filter (oil bath) and it looked quite mucky. So i cleaned it out and filled with new oil. I also changed the oil in the tractor and injection pump while i was at it. When i drained oil, it looked great BTW. Added some fresh diesel that had seafoam in it and now i'm not getting anything when i try and crank (not even smoke).
I have fuel to the injection pump (i loosen bleeder screw and fuel flows out). When i crack the lines it sort of "spits" small amounts of fuel (i'm not sure how much i should expect). I have not checked glow plugs or compression yet as i didn't think that could be it as this problem came directly after hearing what i thought was water getting into the engine.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. i NEED this tractor .
One more note, it doesn't look like all the other injection pumps iv'e seen as i've searched this forum as well as google. Mine does NOT have the access panel to see the injection pump springs. I was thinking maybe it was sticking.
