Your welcome Kerry, The starter with the bolt was just the first one I picked up, the spring goes the same way in both. Makes me curious now why some used a bolt and others a pin :?: I have seen about equal amounts of both. I think your rite about the cranking issue, could be as simple as the ground...

Yes the cover on the side of the injection pump, but it sounds like what you described is a typical case of condensation in the pump if you have what looks like fine coffee granules in there. It should be nice and clean. You may have little bits jamming up the shaft. None the less all that mess shou...

Henk, you are absolutely 100% correct. Sorry I forgot to mention that as well. You don't want any debris in the pump ! I like to give them a rite good soaking in parts cleaner then a scrub, more parts cleaner then a good blast of compressed air before removing the pump cover.

Hello Again Kerry, Just happens I have a few starters laying about the workshop so I snapped a photo for you, much easier to show you than trying to describe it. The picture did not turn out the best so if you don't get any help from it I will try to get you a different one. -Matt http://i40.photobu...

I have to agree with the rack sticking, makes perfect sense and fits both your symptoms. Remove the cover off the injection pump and give her a good shot of lubricant working the rack back and forth and see if that does it.

Greetings Chris,

How long has it been since it was last run ?

Yes it did add a little more to the overall cost but when they got here it was worth it. I have always wanted a Muir Hill to add to the collection and Im sure I could find some uses around the farm for it as well. :wink: Though I would also add a photo of the injector pump drive shaft as well, the e...

I wish they could have come into Green Bay, they came in through the Port of New Jersey and there was no way this country bumpkin was going after them ! :shock: For everyone's best interest we just had a trucker bring them right here to the farm, I could not fit them both on my 25' goose-neck anyway...

No its not that one, I didn't know there was one for sale in Lena ? Was it an auction or listed for sale locally ? Mine came out of the UK along with a Super Dexta Roadles I bought a few years ago, both tractors were bought from the same gentleman so I got a fairly good deal. Transport was a bit of ...

PAt, We have a County 4, Super 4 and a 1184 TW we had brought over a few years back. The 1184 works a treat for hauling muck out in the winter through the deep snow, sadly it is down at the moment due to a gearbox issue that came up this fall while doing a bit of corn stalk disking. I plan on moving...

Are you needing some tin work ? -Matt

Yes it has a DAR valve as well, I can remember my Mother cursing that thing like it was yesterday ! It would leak oil all over our overalls LOL !

Hello Dave, Dads Power Majors as we like to refer to it has a few options, rear PTO disengagement box, belt pulley, front wheel weights and live drive of course. We sometime ago did remove the front wheel weights to make it a bit easier for ole dad to steer but set them off to side for later. I want...

Here is the plow light on one of our Power Majors, as you can see there is a rocker switch on the rear of the lamp, all the way to the left turns on the red light for travel, center position is off and all the way to the right turns on the work lamp. I did talk with dad who has owned the tractor sin...

Kerry,

Im sorry there is a bracket that bolts to the block half moon boss, I just happened to have a photo of it on the engine for one of my Super's. Well here it is the little gem your looking for. -Matt

Greetings Kerry,

Here is a photo of the pump on my NPSM. I think this is what your looking for. If I can be of any further help just let me know, Cheers -Matt

GOT IT NOW !

Sorry It wont let me post any photo's. Am I doing something wrong ?

Just thought all of you might want to take a look at the 1960 Power Major while its in bits. The old girl is pulled down at the moment to replace the injection pump drive shaft. First time the engines has ever been apart since new I might add, aside from a water pump. It has been used on our farm on...
