This diesel tractor appeared to start loosing power yesterday while bushhogging and quickly stopped running down hill. My solution was to put in some fuel as it was real low, crack the injector connections at the head to get the air out, and continue mowing. The stream of fuel at the injectors never did flow well if any at all and it did not start. Are there any other tests or things i should be doing?

Did you check the sediment bowl and fuel filter? Could it be debris in the tank causing the fuel pick-up to clog? ....

Sounds like water in the fuel. I'd carefully remove the sediment bowl and look for water or an organic goop that tends to invade diesel systems and semi-clogs the filter. Draining the tank might be in order. ....
