CASE 580E 5.9 diesel loss of power and died wont start HELP

Ok guys here is the situation
I was on the backhoe (case 580E with the 5.9 cummins) upon leaving a job to go down the road to another the motor just acted like it was losing power and kept going, so i put the shuttle shift in Neutral and tred to rev it and NOTHING "dead pedal"..... I got it off to the side and it died. NOW it wont start, Nobody around has ran it outa fuel so were not sure but the gauge says its between Empty and Half tank..... (gauge hasnt failed yet...) Did the pump die? How do the manual pumps commit suicide? I dont think its been rebuilt (the pump) and its go around 7000 hrs on it

Thanks guys!!
Ian
