1. Locate the fuel pump on the tractor. The fuel pump is typically located on the side of the engine. It is a small, cylindrical device with a fuel inlet and outlet.
2. Disconnect the fuel line from the fuel pump inlet. Use a wrench to loosen the fuel line fitting and remove the line.
3. Place a clear plastic hose on the fuel pump inlet. The hose should fit snugly over the inlet.
4. Open the fuel supply valve. The fuel supply valve is usually located near the fuel tank. Open the valve to allow fuel to flow to the fuel pump.
5. Squeeze the fuel line until it is full of fuel. Pinch the fuel line with your fingers and squeeze until the line is full of fuel and there are no air bubbles.
6. Reconnect the fuel line to the fuel pump inlet. Tighten the fuel line fitting securely with a wrench.
7. Start the engine. The engine should start and run smoothly without any hesitation.
Note: If the engine does not start or runs rough, there may still be air trapped in the fuel system. You may need to repeat steps 2-6 until all the air is removed.
Bleeding the fuel pump on a tractor is a relatively simple task that can be done in just a few minutes. By following these steps, you can ensure that your tractor's fuel system is properly bled and that the engine runs smoothly.
