I think this tractor has a saddle tank the same as a 574. Yes, if you have not changed the filters you need to do this. However, I do not think that is your problem. The problem is twofold. The tractor has a cross line that lets the saddle tank feed from on side to the other once the fuel drops below the common connector near the top 1/3 of the tank. This line is clogged. The fill cap on the fueltank is on one side and the fuel gauge is on the other. If the fill cap is removed and you look in the tank you may think that you have plenty of fuel but the other side of the sadle tank will be empty as that is the side that it normally feeds from. Add fuel to the tank until the fuel level is higher than the cross over common portion of the tank. Now, the problem most likely still exists. The major problem is that fuel is not getting to the injector pump because the valve of the bottom on the saddle tank on the right side is clogged inside the tank. Remove the fuel line feeding the fuel filter at the filter inlet and observe the flow of fuel. It must be a steady stream about 3/16 inch in diameter. If you only have a dribble then certainly this is your problem. Slip a small piece of flexible tubing or hose onto the disconnected fuel line and blow back through the line until you hear the fuel bubble in the tank. The fuel should now run freely. Reconnect the line to the filter and put the fuel cut off lever in the crank position and attempt to crank the tractor. If it does not start you will need to loosen the lines going to the injector and crank the engine over until these line start weeping fuel. Once you get fuel back to the injectors tighten the feed lines and start the engine. It should run, though maybe rough, but in a few minutes it should level off. If you have problems repost. I will watch for your response
