Here is an update on this.
First I have to thank thepumpguysc for his input on this.
I removed the inspection cover on the injection pump and fuel spilled out. I decided to put on a new lift pump because of this. With the new lift pump on and the air purged, and using the extra fuel start feature the tractor started! I still had some fuel leaks that had to be dealt with and took care of them.
I ran the tractor for an afternoon and noticed it seemed to be steaming near the lower radiator hose. After cooling I put pressure on the system for a 13 psi cap. It wouldn't hold and I noticed water leaking from the block near the starter. I removed fuel filters and starter and found the block had been repaired. I ground off all previous repair material and redid this repair. I also picked up a lower pressure radiator cap in place of the original. Haven't had it put back together yet but I do not anticipate any more issues.
I will say that when I replaced the lift pump the purge lever on it was not working as it should have - I figured the cam was in a location preventing this so I loosened it and used the purge lever with the lift pump loose on its mounting bolts. This worked fine and I tightened the fasteners following the purging.
Again I thank thepumpguysc for his advice on this issue. He provided me with information that definitely helped me with this and prevented me from spending a lot of money on things which it did not need.
