MF35 4cyl Diesel - Died! Aagghh need help.

I need some help diagnosing this - she's stuck in the middle of the back paddock at the moment with a hopper full of fertiliser

Was running fine, just spread fertiliser on 7 acres and was about to run over for a second pass when it hesitated for a second, then a couple of seconds later just cut out, as if I'd pulled the shut-off. It cranks over fine, I tried bleeding the fuel, I can get fuel coming out of the top bleed screw on the injector pump but get nothing from the injector lines? Could it be something with the injector pump?

Sorry - false alarm guys. I decided to look up how to actually bleed the system and found out I need to crank the engine to bleed the injector lines. Did this and it fired up fine - must have just got some air in the lines somehow? Got my spreading finished before dark - time for a beer.

Wow, you must have been desperate, broke out the instructions. Glad you got it running, even if you did have to cheat.
