Wobble pump

I changed fuel filters on my Mahindra 6520 today. On the forward filter assy., there is a primer to pump while cracking open the banjo fitting to bleed the air out. On pre WWII aircraft, this was called a wobble pump, but was used to prime the engine to start. It was sweet just kneeling there and pumping the primer while cracking the banjo open and closed. On my old Ford 3055, you had to crack the filter bowl loose and then key the engine over. Do other brands use a primer on the fuel filter, or is this a Indian thing? I don't think the 10 series Mahindra's have a primer.
