John Deere 2305 Diesel Garden Tractor will not start. It cranks and seems to be firing (smoke comes from the exhaust), but it will not start.

I have replaced the fuel filter, the old one was very dirty and there was moisture present. I was certain that with the replacement of filter the problem would be resolved. My next step will be to drain the fuel from the tank and replace it with fresh fuel, unless someone is able to offer a better idea.

Your next step idea is what needs to be done.
throw a little diesel conditioner in the new stuff too.
nothing kills starting a diesel like water in it. If it does get going it will run stop run stop run stop....change the fuel and I'm sure you'll be good to go.

Testimonial: "Thank you for your response and the suggestion of the diesel conditioner."

if the pump is not working it may be the fuel shut off, look in owners manual for location.

SOURCE: How do you drain the fuel tank of a 98 ford f250

I'd be inclined to drop the bowl off the carburetor and make sure the needle and seat aren't stuck and that the float is opening and closing the needle.

Try changing the fuel lines, if they are cloged from debris that could be the cause.

Firing order for my John Deere 3020 gas tractor?

Edited text with a wild guess at the maker. Make model (what it is) in all questions please.
Category moved to John Deere Tractor.

If it was working before, there is no need to worry about the firing order as that never changes. Things to look at;
Clean and correctly gapped spark plugs,
Clean gas,
Fuel filter?
and a clean carburetor, float bowl and jets.

2305 john deere want start replaced fuel pump still want start seems like no fire does diesle have fire

diesel work for compression ignition and have only glo plugs to help with starting in cold weather. You will need to bleed the air out of the pump and pressure lines to the injector. Crack the bleed screw on the pump until you get solid fuel then crack the injector line until it drips fuel. re tighten and it should go.

Hello my name is John. I have a 345 John Deere lawn tractor. The problem is that it starts idles rough won't idle up and does not run strong enough to move the mower. It just chugs and puffs white smoke...

345's have a habit of the choke sticking at the carb.Another problem they have is the fuel pump diaphram will crack and allow your engine to fill up with fuel,to much fuel in crankcase will end up past the rings when not running and smoke pretty bad when fired up.
