Frode,
Sorry . I think it's the same sort of thing as the Selene kits. How I understand it, Selene came up with the idea, and gave Roadless the rights in the U.K.
Kev, doh

Re: Roadless and county crawler
Frank. Thanks for the info. I did wonder about the Roadless guys, but havent rang them yet. At the moment I'm just putting the feelers out to see whats possible and try and get an idea of cost. After all, my tractor would not be an original Roadless, so although I'd love to build one, I do have to k...

Roadless parts
I know I've not got a cat in hells chance, but never mind here goes. I've recently bought a Roadless 6/4 front drive axle and original bonnet, therefore I'm now considering building my half built 590E Super into a Roadless 6/4. What I now need is a Roadless transfer box and prop shaft in any conditi...

Re: Roadless and county crawler
Aussie Frank. I was just wondering how you were getting on having a new Roadless transfer box cast and machined? I've got a 1963 Super with a similiar aged 590E in it. I've just purchased a genuine Roadless 6/4 bonnet and front axle. Hence I've now had the idea of building a Roadless 6/4. However I ...

I've got a fine selection of final drive parts, more than I need, but enough to make a really good set out of them all.
Cheers folks

Re: 590E engine date and Thames Trader compliance
Mike, Cheers for that information. The engine came out of a Clayson combine. It has a Simms injection pump which did have the pump up/down type of lift pump on the side of the injection pump, as well as the twin Bosch fuel filters. I've now taken this lift pump off and replaced it with a more tracto...

Guys,
Please don't panic. I happen to have a very sarcastic and dry sense of humour, so it would be very hard to offend me,lol.
Plus I know I'm right.

Re: Super Major final drive/diff/pinion&bull gears WANTED
Dave, There is a number of good points you raise. The Fordson Major was a very successful and versatile tractor for it's day, true. Your relavance to what I do for work is????? Did your daddy start telling the Fordson salesman in 1960 how good his Case steam traction engine was??? Please remember th...

Re: 590E engine date and Thames Trader compliance
Just another thing, I've seen in here a picture somewhere of what looks like a standard 4 cylinder rod operated starter motor on a 590E engine. I'd love to keep the rod operated starter but is the starter man enough to throw the six over, and will the ring gear etc all match up if I go out a buy a n...

Dandy Dave,
Sounds like you've got a very nice pair of tractors there. May you just won't admit in here that you don't use the green ones because they are too good and valuable for lowly jobs?lol

Re: 590E engine date and Thames Trader compliance
Mike, I also have what I think is a 590E engine in a Super Major. I bought it with the engine in already, but most of the rest of the tractor simply wasn't there. I was told by the fitter who I bought it off, and who half did the conversion, the engine he took out of a Clayson combine. Since it seem...

Re: Super Major final drive/diff/pinion&bull gears WANTED
Bear Creek Pat, I did see your post when you swapped round the gears from side to side, and wondered if that's what I may end up doing. Glad you said you successfully drilled through the bull? shaft. I do have a couple of lathes and a father-in-law who's rather good at using them, so it wouldn't be ...
