Hi yes the extra pulley is slightly smalller, the axle is a whitlok item that is also why the front casting has a larger diameter hole in it to take the drive from the crankshaft to the hydraulic pump mounted to the front casting. After checking the casting codes it would appear that the front casti...

Hi Rok25, yes it has a genuine power steering set up and is driven off the crankshaft where an extra pulley is bolted to the front of the original one and the pump is fitted to a bracket bolted to the front of the cylinder head that has slotted vertical holes for belt adjustment. Unfortunately I hav...

Hi all, just wondering how rare/hard to find are the original wings fitted to the pre force 4000 and 5000? I see Agriline can supply a pattern item for £210.00.

Hi does anyone happen to know the last serial number of the 1961 Super Major prior to the "OBA" type numbers looking on the net it would appear that the first number in Oct 1961 was 1619437 but what did they go up to?

Love the old super 6, here are a couple of pics of one I saw at the Newark Show last weekend this one also imported from America, very straight original tractor I could be happy owning it.

Hi all, here are some more sales brochures I have relating to the E27N Major.
Regards Len.

Hi all, thought I would post some pics of an original E27N sales brochure might be interesting to some of you. Regards Len. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h253/rscapriman/f4.jpg http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h253/rscapriman/f5.jpg http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h253/rscapriman/f6.jpg

Hi Gerald, sorry for the delay I totally agree with you it probably would cost in the region of £200 to rebuild, I will try it the next time I go to my parents and let you know the outcome, with regard to the impulse drive I have no idea I'm sure you know more about these mags than I do.
Cheers Len.

Hi JC, started the restoration late Jan 2008 had it finished by first weekend in May when we showed it at a local steam rally. Still have a couple of small jobs to do have not got the hydraulic arms fitted yet still need the drop arm with levelling box (R/H side) and check chains.
Regards Len.

Hi all, heres another old photo I've come across dont think the tractors could have been very old when this was taken.
Regards Len.

Hi Miles, will do I'm going down to the tractor today will take a couple of photos for you, the easiest way way to tell the 954 from both the 1004 and the 1124 is that the 954 does not have the huge brackets and the diagonal braces to the side of the engine. Would love to see some pics of your tract...

Hi Len, Glad to hear that we have another County owner on the board. I have a County 1164 that I will start fixing, as soon as the wife deceides that I'm through working on the house. A friend at work just told me about a Super Six that's for sale. I just emailed the owner, but I haven't heard from...

Hi Kev, not sure but I think at one point it had some sort of crane, it also was fitted with compessor & air tank so that air brakes could be used on the lies of heavy trailors it was pulling. I have since done away with this and made it agri spec with hydraulics. Regards Len. http://i66.photobucket...
