that one is easy, fuel out of bleader on filter 9/16 wrench, next fuel out of pump screw on side 5/16 wrench, spin engine with this one barely open, fuel will spray out 2 to 4 feet, close 5/16 screw, next open batery box, loosen each enjector line 1/3 of a turn, 5/8 wrench, full trottle, spin engine till fuel comes out, close each line while spinning engine, when 1 or 2 closed engine will crank.
Make sure fuel tank is 1/2 full, easier to do then, gravity feed to feed pump in injector pump.

Ford tractor
I have a ford that sat for a long time before I got it. After replacing the fuel filter a few times I realized that that was not the problem. The shut-off valve coming out of the fuel tank had an opening that was real small and was getting clogged up. I replaced it with a 1/4 or 3/8 (can't remember which) ball valve and also an extra inline filter. Problem solved.
