Ford 5000 stopped dead as if I had shut off the fuel. Checked the usual stuff and bled everything up to the injectors.Not getting fuel through the lines.Checked oil level in pump and found what seemed to be pure fuel coming out.Drained and put new 30 Pennzoil in.Also treated fuel and top of pump with bio bor to kill algae,if in it.
Anything else I should look for or is the pump in need of overhaul?
 
Is the manual lift pump working? My 5000 manual lift pump quite a few weeks ago, tractor was running great then all the sudden boom it just shut off. Luckily I keep a spare pump on hand because I've had issues before. Did you open the bleed screw on the side of the pump just below where the injector lines are?

As for fuel in the crankcase of the pump you have a leaking seal. Mine fills with fuel fairly quickly but since I'm too cheap to change the pump I just change that couple of ounces of oil fairly often.
