I have a 2021 2960E with about 122 hours on it. It ran fine a couple of days ago. I went to start today and it just cranked. The electric pump is working and has plenty of fuel down to the pump. No codes showing. The fuel cutoff doesn't seem to be opening.
Any help would be great.

Are you getting power to the fuel cutoff? If not check the fuse. If you're getting power but it's not opening it may have died and need replaced. Or it may just be stuck. Try tapping it a couple times with a screwdriver handle.

That is what I was looking at originally. It belongs to a neighbor and he said he had a blown 5 amp fuse, but didn't know which one as he took them all out to test at his shop. He replaced the fuse, but no luck. When I arrived, I started to check the fuses, but he said he replaced the bad one.

Just talked with him and he found a blown 5 amp fuse, replaced it and now it runs.

The problem I had was that it is a common rail system. There are four 5 amp fuses that are labeled ECU... I wasn't sure if this was a regular fuel cutoff or not. It has a very, very small fuel passageway.
On top of that, Massey Ferguson calls it a "Suction" and sells it for $621.
I trusted the neighbor and know better. When I am on to something, follow through.
