The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Hi Sorry to say it Sounds like your ford mechanic might just be a fitter and could be so full of poop you need to find another mechanic :eyes: . You do not shim the clutch from the flywheel on a dual clutch from what i know. I think you may find a dead drive bearing won't fit the clutch tube and bea...

Hi Brian Welcome to the board, we was all newbies once :lol: . wouldn't worry to much about the link, there's ebay links on the forum pretty often and we aren't miserable like the yesterdays tractor forum in the states is about some stuff :wink: . I wonder if as more of a general discussion it may b...

That's why we started to use EGR systems -- more power and good for the environment. Seriously, Rick, any idea why it happens? Even had one of Henks posts upside down. Never happened before recent weeks. Pavel Hi Pavel I heard these upside down posts have come about due to there being a load of che...

Correct, but the earlier ones didn't have an oil light, they just had an oil pressure gauge. Ive got a 1954 major and its got a gauge, oil lights were used on the power major and super majors. Are you sure your major is a 1954? Could it have a later engine in it, and they have transferred the dash ...

Hi Was just reading both your posts about this tractor and the pressure switch. somethings wrong here if your tractors a 54. as it should have a mechanical oil gauge that works with a feed pipe not a light and pressure switch :wink: . The oil gauge should be in a tin box with the temp and amp gauge,...

Hi Don't know if it will help or not some of those motors had CAV pumps and injectors, and some had Bosch equipment fitted, I had one once and we put it in my buddys puller when he blew a motor :cry: , his injectors were CAV and we pulled the Bosch ones out and fitted his tuned ones straight in the ...

Not sure where half the message went but just to say there are two different attachments on the axle for the link arms, two sets of holes on the link arms where they join the lift arms and pins in the lift arms to give more adjustment if you havn`t already tried it Dave Hi Dave Looks like your trac...

Hi as far as I know from my 5000 tractor here in Canada, and what I have seen in wrecking yards also here. The last blue grey supers had the pto guard bolted on with 4 bolts( 2 each side). The guard is the same shape as all the other majors. But the mounting is 2 angled brackets bolted to the sides ...

Hi Henk I have known about this for a while and did not want to be the first post about it really and what happened on here, because the family might find the posts talking about it, and it's not really fair to them at this difficult time. if you Google search Donald and Shirley Parkinson , you shou...

Hi Not in Sask But try Bob at used tractor parts (U.T.P) at Grandview, Manitoba, he has a pile of majors there. Will be visiting him in the next week on a parts run, He is my usual go to guy for shop customer and my own parts :wink: . The other is David Good at Goods wrecking Inglis, Manitoba. I hav...

Hi Welcome to the forum :) and to the world of Fordson tractors, and the strong possibility of mixed and matched parts over the last 60 or so years :wink: . At the top of the pages where you posted here is an announcement section, the top posting tells you how to add pictures. It's quite the perform...

Hi I would say if you want a proper hard working tractor, the land rover axle would be the weak link, if the rest of the drive lines ok , after you have gone to all the trouble of designing/ finding or manufacturing parts and getting it to work :cry: . From my experience of pricing out machine shop ...

Nick, The aluminium steering wheel was very common on the E27N but were not fitted to the New Major. If you measure the diameter it will probably be 17 inches, whereas the New Major had an 18 inch diameter steering wheel. Hi Barry It seems There was new majors fitted with Aluminium steering wheels ...

Hi Welcome to the forum the easiest motor to fit is the ford thames trader 6d upright motor from the mid 50's early 60's. none of the truck or industrial 6's are a direct bell housing fit, due to aluminium sumps and the bottom curve being different ( the top of the block is right). frame rails, fron...

I bought an air hose from my local agricultural engineers who are agents for Sparex. Guess what, the hose would not stretch over the inlet manifold end, although it fitted over the air filter outlet. Two phone calls to Sparex, Exeter and another new air hose ordered, as they said they would provide...

Nearly as speedy as this. http://youtu.be/fAfshuIMA9w WD9 with Perkins P6 with rotary pump & turbo =33MPH :shock: :shock: :D Hi nice speed on that "red thing" at least Dave stuck with the blue theme of the forum :lol: . although the purists that visit here will decide his punishment, later for post...

Hi Thanks for posting, thats one of the better videos to come from tube , I've seen in a while :D . Tractor and the guys sound pretty good :) . now with you saying about somebody from Fordson land, i wonder if the Bear creek crew ( Pat and Marc) can play a guitar or Banjo between them , and Get duel...

Don't think it will fit as column hole is not on center like the major. Just going by pictures as I haven't physically seen the power tank. Still waiting for confirmation. Hi The only reason the hole is not centered and is bigger is because you need extra space for the electrical wires, hand thrott...

Hello Robert, my son has a Power Major with an engine number just 10 from my Power Major this will form the bassis of the conversion, with a reworked E 27 N diff housing. There was a "Ace loader" made based on a reverse Fordson. So as you see I was planning to use all the good bits from the E 1 A, ...

hello, my son and I are planning to build a reverse loader, and change the crown wheel, we would have liked it to have a crownwheel steady on the other side, but this is not possible. We are planning to use the E 27N rear housing and low ratio, as it has a higher clutch and brake pedal shaft, we al...

Hi Brain Congratulations on crossing the 4000 postings milestone :clap: . when a guy thinks about all the time spent online answering posts I wish I had a $ for every one here and on that U.S forum we both been known to post on :wink: . I'd have a few bucks spare for fordsons or parts and you'd be r...

Hi Pat Good to see another one running in your collection :D . She looks way to nice to paint and spoil :idea: . not sure how well that original drawbars going to like pulling on the top clevis though :| . I have a few snapped draw bars I have picked up over the years on variose tractors, that came ...

Thanks for taking the time to look into it Robert. From what I have looked up (on http://www.foleyengines.com Tech Tip #92) the dover has a larger head with larger ports but they both use the same crank shaft/cam shaft and connecting rods. Good luck with catching up on your shop work, I am in the s...

Hi Yes it will they won't swap the other way because the hole were the steering box fits through is smaller on the ordinary major tank :wink: . i have seen a few with the power tank on It looks pretty awful with the flat spot and the big hole :cry:. but if that's what you got, and need to use then n...

Robert, The truck manifold and the Fordson Manifold were different. Truck manifold had its outlet at the front with a bend in it, and as you know the tractor came straight out the back. And, I can assure you, that a P6 with a truck pump and injectors really has some get up and go in a tractor pull.[...
