How do I re-prime a Kubota B7100 4wd tractor that ran out of fuel?

I ran my little diesel tractor out of fuel clearing snow from a steeo driveway. I refilled the tank and now it won't start. What do I do now?
Thanks
Jim

Look for the Bleed Screw on the injection pump open this and let fuel run till no air can be seen then tighten screw, if it will not start after that you can remove pipe (s) from injector (s) and turn engine over a few times to make sure you have fuel there.

get one of those in-line rubber squeeze pumps that they use on boats, place it inline and it pumps the fuel. Of course you have to get all the air bubbles out.
