It will help to have a full tank of fuel. Make sure you have the main supply on under the tank. Proceed to vent out each fuel filter until fuel is running without air bubbles. You should start the engine on gas & let run until the pressure gauge on the injection pump shows pressure build-up. At this point, you should be able to switch over to Diesel.
You may have to loosen [bleed] the bleeder screws at each injector to check for fuel being delivered.
Good luck.

On my MD I bleed the Aux filter with the tractor off and the Fin filter with it running. I would assume that tractor is the same. (same engine, but newer)
You usually have to give them a little throttle while running on gas to bleed the injectors.
