How can I fix my diesel engine problem?

I have a satoe stallin 750d tractor,the engine just started to loose power and die. I was just wanting to know if the injecters are possibly clooged.

I would put a 5 litre contaner on the bonnet and gravity feed the diesel straight into the injector pump inlet with a hose ,then bleed the pump, then turn over engine and bleed injector lines it should start.
this will tell you if you have a problem with the fuel pump or lines and filters.

It seems unlikley that it's the injectors,fuel starvation further back down line is my best guess. do the filters and check that the fuel pump(not the injector pump) works properly. On the other hand it could be air getting into the fuel line, lightly pressurise the tank with air and squirt soapy water along the line like trying to find a punture. I use an air line and a load of rags jammed in the fuel filler, just do'nt blow the whole lot to pieces, bon chance mon amie.

it could be the injector's but i would say its more likley to be the fuel filter
