The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

yes, I spent a while on the net looking at engine images, and ended up removing the short adapted extra leak off to the fuel filter bleed screw, used the banjo from the fuel filter on the new bulkhead leak off, fitted a plain bolt on the now missing filter banjo, bought from agriline a new leak off ...

it took me a while to get my head round the setup, fairly new to fordsons and tractors in general
I guess once its loaded its driven as normal, to be backed up to unload.

a lot of head turning I guess

hi yes tempted, think the asking price is 17k sek. been down there a few times, once to look at a boat and Ikea sadly :? tbh the forsdon I have requires a lot of work, so happy to keep improving the one I have. Renewed faith in it too, no more carrying the compressor down the field to blow out the f...

hi all,
knowing the forum likes pics, I thought I would share this fordson, it came up for sale on the web here in Sweden about half an hour ago,
its about and hour and a half south of me in jonkoping

leak off pipe question....the outlet has 2 connectons.... a banjo connection/pipe to the fuel filter casing, also a very worn adapter running through it to the normal fuel leak off pipe, now routed into the tank is it fine to remove the short fuel filter pipe, letting it run into the tank only. that...

I had another look this morning and will use the single tap assembly I ordered direct the return pipe to the existing old petrol supply connection high up on the tank, open the petrol cap and drill 1 small hole on the internal petrol tank to allow the diesel to return to the main tank. will keep aho...

hi oehrick

there is a previous cut connection, it appears to be high up on the petrol side of the split tank, so maybe direct a newly ordered return pipe in there

trivial when I read through some of true blue challenges, fully expect my next thread will have a proper crisis in it

thanks oehrick, this was still going round in my head I suspected that would be the case with original diesel powered majors. The split tank here has a second connection that has been blocked off with the return from the bulkhead into the 2nd tap on the fuel bulb assembly. both taps need to have the...

thanks Henk,

will try to look after the major and keep it as original as possible, allowing for the condition it was at time of purchase

hi Oehrick,

some great suggestions on the tank cleaning and repairs. the pipe length too.

will need a new return feed from the rear of the block back to the fuel tap assembly, the connecting nut at the fuel tap is goosed.... the coat hanger measurement method sounds perfect

great forum

hi thanks Oehrick, I just ordered the complete single tap assembly at New Holland this morning so I could get my hands on the tank filter, will hopefully move it over to the original assembly- I had about 15 litres in it which successfully filtered through a succession of 4 coffee filters funnelled ...

Hi fenhayman, many thanks for the reply, yes I have disconnected the metal reservoir on the tap assembly before and its affected running from the tank I did this job once before, obviously not thoroughly enough. I don't remember seeing a gauze fitted that say can be seen on the agriline single tap n...

Hi all Today and has happened earlier, the fuel system became blocked noted by the absence of diesel in the inline fuel filter whilst emptying hay from the upper levels of the barn . its a 52 Fordson Major with a 67 I think replacement industrial Diesel engine, it has the double tank (petrol/vaporis...

looks like it as good as i my rear mounted swedish arkiv slätterbalk (sickle mower)
fine restoration, great to see it in action

Thanks Dave,
With the support of the forum, I will do my best

Hi Mervin,
Thanks for the reply. Fun for sure experience using it will come.
It’s had about 4 hrs continuous use in the field and 1 oil leak hopefully fixed.
Will find out next time I cut the field

hi Henk

thanks for the welcome.
have a lot to learn but sure glad i have the fordson

Hi all, great to be part of the forum, having visited plenty times as a guest over in sweden i bought a small farm with most of the land kept by a previous previous owner, and seperately negotiated a veteran tractor from the previous owners clutches, he had 3. Have to say l absolutely love the machi...
