I took it to mechanic for oil change and fuel filters. Drove on trailer, good running tractor.

He did his work and drove it out of his shop. Came back later and the glass fuel filter sediment bowl was broken and fuel drained out. ((Like 12 hours later). Went ahead and replaced rubber fuel lines at this time.

He's not getting it to run/start now. I said let's pull it and we were unsuccessful to start. He showed me we are getting fuel out of the mechanical fuel pump, but not out of the fuel filter housing.

We are going to try new filters, but that doesn't seem very likely.

Is there anything that could be going on there?

Seems like fuel should pump out of the filters housing with the same gusto we can pump it through the mechanical fuel pump.
