The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

I have started overhauling our old two furrow Newlands plough and wondered if anyone knew what colour it would be originally painted . It is in quite good condition and was quite easy to free everything off and should be a good match for my Dexta

thanks for the comments folks. Mjg 1705 the only part i need is the rocker part and one of the other majors has super major leveling box . Scoobyjim i see the parts listed on ebay and it seems the seller is a "character" However I think i am getting ahead of myself . Before i even get to the major I...

Nothing a bit of blood,sweat and tears won't sort. Oh and a bulging wallet of course. I just hope the inlet and exhaust manifolds haven't been open to the elements too long or an engine rebuild might be your first job.

Thanks scoobyjim for those pointers. I went and had another look and I am quite sure it is a NP super major. I managed to do a deal and buy this major along with two other major diesel's and A ford 4600 .The NP major has no linkage arms or top link bracket :cry: (i have been told i have more chance ...

Thanks Brian for that. The cylinder head does say FL on it and it does have an alloy tap under the seat the only thing is I think it only has a single stage clutch would the new performance major still be sold with a single clutch .Also what other clues would I be looking for to tell if she is a bit...

Been offered a super major and think it might be a new performance major.The engine no is o8d 947926 would that tie in with the last majors manufactured? The tractor is pretty much all there just in rough condition the only thing that is not on the tractor is the flow control and selector valve . Th...

wondered if anyone would have the small lever below the seat that changes the hydraulics from draft to position control for a ford 3000

LANG MAY YER LUM REEK

Happy new year all and thanks for all the info given on this forum

I also had been trying some ploughing with my dexta however in draft the the plough was rising up and down in the furrow as if the hydraulics were to sensitive is there anything I can do to improve it I remember reading somewhere about drilling between oilways in top cover anybody have any ideas

i came home from our local ploughing match dissapointed that there was no ford or fordsons ploughing so i have decided to try and change that next year.I have a two furrow fergy plough that i have cleaned up and was going to use to practice with are these ploughs any use?I think it is a deep digger ...
