Tractor ran. Next morning won't start. There is power to the glow plugs. The fuel shut off solenoid is working. The mechanical lift pump is working. There is fuel to the injector lines. The engine cranks good. A small shot of starting fluid just bogs the engine down.

Kubota's love a glow to get them going,it sounds like you've got compression, I presume there's white fuel vapour comming out of the exhaust, so find a hot air gun (as used for paint stripping) and blow hot air into the inlet manifold, do'nt blow into the air cleaner, as close to the engine as possible is best, it works for my cherokee when all else fails . Variations on this trick get most lazy diesels going.
