The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Hello Oscar and Brian, I would like to thank you both very much for your incredible effort to have this website and forum up and running for so many years! Next to the fact it has been a big source knowledge to me for years, I have made true friends via this forum. Many many thanks for that! :clap: ...

Hi Brian, Do you happen to talk/write about this Kuiken beet harvester? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE3WkSMOGwY (from about 4 minutes) http://www.fassaertmachines.nl/oogsten/112/kuiken-br750-bietenrooier-onderdelen.html#.V_FaSSiLSM8 or this one? http://www.borga-appingedam.nl/?page_id=203 https:...

Great flick, Henk!

Thank you very much for sharing. Seems you had a great day!

Hi, You could jack up the tractor, put some markings on the front wheels, turn on the back wheels and count the number of turnings in the left and right front wheel. The should be exactly the same. A friend of mine had the same issue with a Super4 (SuperMajor). In his County one fronthub was replace...

Good evening, On page 3 of the Conversion board on the topic "VonZu '78 4600-four" , I have posted a leaflet of a 4600-four with all the tyre options. The 4000-four is basically the same as the 4600-four. Please send me a PM if you would like to have the 4000-four leaflets. Do you happen to have som...

Great pictures, Brian!
Thank you for sharing.

What a beast!!

Hi, The 4wd conversion was not a factory option, so it was done by the dealer. Schindler was a Swiss company. Many German Fords have a Schindler front axle, some Dutch too. Parts are pretty difficult to obtain. I have some drawings of some types of Schindler front axles. There's a topic on this boar...

Hi Brian, Wow, you had quite an exciting trip back to the UK! :shock: Any idea what caused the flat tyre? I guess Customs was right,when they mentioned Dotty is your sports car...she pulls like crazy! :clap: http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu24/fordson1961/Diverseafbeeldingen/IMAG8709.jpg http://...

Hi Brian, Today I met the owner of this 8401 http://www.tractorfan.nl/picture/840207/ He is an incredible nice guy and a true Ford enthousiastic. He even gave me the chance to sit in the cab and enjoy the view on the hood. I now totally understand your love for these tractors, Brian. He has the trac...

Hi Brian, That sounds like a great plan! :beer: Of course I will escort you from the boat to Meddo! 8) There are two 8401's over here indeed. One is owned by a famous Dutch tractor exporter Van Dijk in Deurne. I have heard the tractor is in the shed for years now. This is an old (2002) picture: http...

Wow!
What an extremely great series of pictures!! Thank you for sharing!
Quite some County's over there. I really like the 4000-4 in the second series!
Is the County "longnose" an 1474 or an 1884?

The FW is a league of its own...what an beast!

Hi Peter,

Sorry about that. I have replaced the links; I hope they work correct now?

Hi guys, Thank you very much for your replys! Much appreciated. Yesterday I was at my friends and shot three flick: In this flick the engine runs at low rpm and runs pretty good I guess, exept for the "tick" (which culd be the problem? :eyes: )? http://youtu.be/Z62LbMVr3HQ With these, it rattles and...

Hi Dave,

Thank you very much for your reply! Much appreciated!

No, the flywheel wasn't taken off.

Do you know if the crankshaft bearings and so are equal to a Fordson F or N engine?

Thank you in advance!

Hi guys, A friend of mine bought a 4 cylinder E27N with the Ford petrol engine (so not the Perkins one). He is currently working on a complete restoration. As both he and I know very little about these machines, hereby some questions: - After the restoration the engine starts right away and runs gre...

Hi Brian,

Great that you will visit Holland again! Always welcome for a visit to Diemen, of course!

Wow, what a beauty!!

Merry Christmas and a happy and blue New Year in good health

Thank you very much for sharing these pictures and the flick, Brian!

Really interesting to take a closer look at this technic!

Hi Brian,

Great to read Ann and you have such a great time in Oz!
Looking forward to read toy stories and see the pictures....especially with the famous 8401.

Hi Frans,

Is the oil level OK? And the colour of the oil?

I am afraid you will have to take off either the head or the sump to investigate?

Great pictures, Brian! Thank you for the update....I guess your customers will love the big potatoes?

What about the square in the back, on which the potaties didn't grow? Did you found out the cause?
