No thanks, I wouldn't build anything like that. Something that will 'blend in' and look almost like it should have been like that from new is the look I want. I do think that 4D is the best, and cheapest option . Anything Perkins seems to bring decent money, and I think going too modern with the 6.w...

Just as a reply to your post Sandy, I was at my neighbours place today, we were talking about my N. I was on about engine choices as my engine is goosed. He told me that last Monday, a trawler got scrapped locally. Along with the main boat engine, two Fordson 4D engines went to the scrappy, and even...

All sorted now.

Hello, it's me again! This time it should be an easy one, I think! What is the proper name for the blind oil seal or plug that goes in the bottom of an N steering box please? There are two machined diameters, the smaller is 30mm or so, and the larger is 1.25" or there abouts. So the seal will push i...

Yeah, tie rod, link rod, that'll do! If they fit, all good thanks

Hi guys, I am in need of the pins that fit the steering link rod of a model N.
Are they the same as Major ones, as these are available on ebay ?
Thanks, Dave

There's no hurry, I'll sit back and wait for something I like, at a price I like.

The engine that will go in will be the cheapest runner that comes my way. E27N is always going to be expensive. I've no mag, carb or manifold, so would need a runner to start with. Major engines can be reasonable, I've considered air cooled too, just to be different . To put this into prospective, b...

At this moment in time, my N is only good for yard art. I would put photos up, but it's much too complicated for me, I'm more analogue than digital. If you're interested, I'm also into hotrods, and one of my threads on the Rods and Sods site is about my N. It's in the 'garage' section, and is called...

Sandy, I have the answer.
I put up pictures on the farming forum, and, in amongst a idiot who clearly just liked spouting off, a guy put up a picture of his stub axle which is 1 1/2" longer than mine. So case closed, I'm looking for stub axles. Many thanks for you efforts.

Yes, they will be imperial, its about 90.2mm I think on one of them.
I'll measure the wheels tomorrow.
I was thinking the whole stub axle could be Ford Pilot or the likes of. Or even Ford truck. Not just the spindles

Thanks Sandy , that will be a big help. My front wheels that I bought are iron 5 spoke. They look the same as every other iron wheeled Fordson wheel I've found on the net. The distance between the bearings is much greater than what would fit on my stubs. I measured the bearing outer sizes that would...

Without trying to make my brain hurt, I can tell you that the length of my stub axle from the back of the inner bearing to the end of the thread is about 4 1/2 inches. What is the measurement supposed to be? What could my stub axles be off if that's wrong? My iron wheels are 5 spoke and look like al...

Dear Lord, that seems complicated

Hi guys, how do I put photos up on here?
I want to show my stub axle and wheels, as I don't know which bit is wrong! I think the stubs may be off something else, but just don't know
