Ford 841 diesel won't start

Posted by canadianragweed on June 05, 2013 at 14:29:49 from (64.234.78.15):

I am new to tractors and engines for that matter but here is what I have found.

The tractor acts like it is going to start, not the battery or anything plus I had it on a booster. I can spray starter fluid in it and it started for a second then died. I wasn't sure if that was ok to do so I stopped.

I started investigating the fuel lines and it looks like diesel is getting to the fuel pump? Distributor? One side says in and the other says out. If I unscrew the out bolt it trickels diesel, if I crank with the bolt out it shoots a stream (nothing major but more than not cranking). If I unscrew the bolts where it goes to the distribution tubes no diesel ever comes out cranking ot not.

This tractor ran fine yesterday. Any ideas?
