WD9 with Perkins P6 with rotary pump & turbo =33MPH

Hot/steam pressure washer, but be careful at the bottom they can get a little thin . .I usually find this works best & if you get the tank red hot it soon dries out.

I would be having a look at the inside of the radiator, the most likely cause is that it will be blocked.

This is a little project we did last year, it has a 5.9ltr Cummins 160hp engine. Worst part was getting the rear engine housing right. We also had to custom machine a flywheel to suit. Overall the tractor is only 8inches longer than original. http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t301/wagger_01/tractor...

Yes just turn the engine over 1 turn, at the moment you are on No4 TDC.With each 2 turns of the crankshaft the inj pump & camshaft will only revolve 1 turn. That is where the 4 stroke cycle comes from, suck,squeeze,bang,blow. Hope that helps

You need to turn the crank 1 complete revolution back onto the mark, you will now find your pump timing mark is in the correct place. Camshaft & fuel pump only run at 1/2 engine speed.

Richard, Very nice job. well done. How did you solve the triangle problem?

Here's a couple of pictures of a little project we have done over the winter months. It is a 160hp cummins 5.9. It has got a custom made adaptor plate & custom made flywheel. these are the only pics i have of it at the moment, this was its 1st outing a few weeks ago on a local road run with a few ot...

To get the bearing track out, run a bead of weld around inside it,allow to cool it will then almost fall out

The side plate bolts are 9/16" unc. On one of mine I drilled them out to M14 & then tapped M16, using modern HT bolts & locktite, seems to have done the trick!! I know I will more than likely get flamed by the Fordson police but she ain't no concourse machine.

Hope that helps

If anyone knows where I can get a pair of rear wheels & tyres for a Major E1A, tyre size 13.6-12-36 please.
Please leave a message here or call me on Many thanks Richard
