Did you use the lunk on the main page? We moved the wiki to another host.

This is the problem.
When you visit the wiki via the main site all will work.

At least you had good service at the end.

Jerry,

Please point out A to Z or 1 to 3. I din't understand wich story you mean.

Is there a way to stop being logged out when I'm half way through writing a post? This has happened a few times now and I've lost everything I've typed :curse: Mike, As far as I can see there are no limits to the time when writing or editing a post. So I don't understand where and why this problem ...

Great story Billy.

At least the tractor kept his colour over the years.

Mathias, could you check this? (wiki)

Mike, I'll try to look into this soon.

Jerry,

Is this on the forum or Wiki?

Annoying.

We have to search for that.

Just a tip, you could select and copy your text after a short period, and when you are loged out start again and paste the text directly in your post.
You could wright in Word and copy and paste it in your post.

Or just type faster. Just kidding.

Welcome Sandy, what took you so long.

So you have 2,5 Fordson

Maybe this can help.

Having some pictures would make things easyer to talk about.

As you say try to find a bold.
The only thing that can be wrong is that the sqaure bold is not secured by the steel cord an the selector is not in the right place.
If you can, it's best to remove the unit as I did and check everything.

Leeroy,

The nut side is smaler so the oppsite side has to come out.

@emiel,

Luckely we learn from oure folds.

Bin there done that.

There are two ways to mount the pump. If it is on time, the engine will start. If the engine does not start, the pump is turned 180 degrees. Best is to make a mark with a center punch befor removing.

That's right Mathias. Leeroy, It's a common problem. Take it apart and clean it. Look for sharp edges or dents in both the woodruff key and holes and file them away. Check the threads. Put it back together. Feel when the woodruff key falls deepest into the hole by moving the handle up and down and t...

Try this Ed.

I know the vacuum governed pump needs no oil it uses the leak diesel to grease. Don't know if your pump needs oil.

Good news.
Do you have a volt meter?
Load the battery. Put it on the right poles and start. When the Voltage is going under de 10V while starting its moost likely that the battery is bad.

All Majors for the Super had this rattling sound. It was characteristic because of the pertinax coupling. The later Supers had a sort of rubber and was much quieter. An employee of a dealer once told me that he had spent hours looking for the cause of a badly running Major. In the end, the coupling ...

Check the coupling from the dieselpump and the timing. Sometimes its not tight enough and changes the settings.

Taff,

I think your photo's are behind a login account so you can see them I don't.

Do you use the tractor a lot? Maybe it's caused by standing still too long?

Mathias,
I think you nailed it. Thats why I wont a Viton. Seems to last longer.
I don't fancy it doing the job every two or so years.

Nice tool.

I have done the job two times. Last time i put a speedy sleeve on it. Now two years later it's leaking again.
Now I'm trying to find a Viton seal for it, but have not found one yet. Looks like there are none for this size.
Anyone who has a tip?

Welcome Trad68, Nice story and glad you saved two Majors. I know there are many oldtimer tractors in Michigan. The serie Dr Pol is on TV in the Netherlands for a few years now and in between actions the show shots of farms and fields from your State. I spot mainly Allis Chalmers, JD and Internationa...
