I don't know this tractor specifically but will try to help. Does it have a fuel solenoid? If so, you would shut the tractor off with the key instead of pulling a knob. If you do have a solenoid this is the first place I'd start looking, see if it is being properly energized with ignition on. Then check that fuel will flow through it while energized. If there is no solenoid none of this applies but it's the simplest place to start.

Could be the drive to the injector pump, that's going to be a lot more difficult.
