is there any information about the size of the special tools anywhere? can easily make something but will need to know dimensions.

I have a new performance super major that i am trying to rebuild the lift top on I have tried to follow the wiki instructions to set it up, but something seems wrong as i cannot get enough adjustment on the turnbuckle. so far: I have ...

Hi,

I am looking for a manifold and carb bits for a 1923. Do you have anything available?

Thanks

Fred

Hi, I am looking for a manifold and carb for a 1923 F we are looking to get running a bit better. It currently has a Holly 295 fitted, but it has the exhaust port badly cracked on one side, and also the mixing chamber where the bolts hold the top on has broken the casting If anybody has something th...

Perfect Thanks,

will hopefully get it stripped this weekend

Hi, Has anybody ever stripped a power steering ram? I am fitting a power steering system of an old wetherill onto my super but I have oil leaking from where pipe couplings fit the cylinder. there are 2 couplings with a flat face and dowty washer seal. the part that these screw into moves from the ou...

Hi, I am looking for some information about some rear wheels fitted to a 1923 F that we have bought. I was wondering if they have been a local conversion or if they were available as a retrofit item in the past. They are 7 spoke rims, but it looks like they have been converted to have adjustable hei...

Thanks Dave, That is our intention. Just want to do some tidying up jobs to make it run better and that will be it. It won't tick over properly at the moment as it always wants to rev up. There seems a lot of play in the throttle mechanism so that will be the first place to look. What plugs should i...

Hi Dave, Thanks for the reply. It has a mixer tap similar to the N we have, but is slightly a different design. You can see it on one of the photos. I have been told it has the wrong tank on as it should have had a separate petrol tank on but I do not know the old tractors well enough to be certain....

Hi, will give photo's another go ;-) http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r502/fred2873/Photo16-11-2013073838_zps61c3b373.jpg http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r502/fred2873/Photo16-11-2013073827_zpsa877970f.jpg http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r502/fred2873/Photo16-11-2013073746_zpsdd209691.jpg...

Hi,

I have tried to add some photo's but can't seem to work it out.

As it is a cork tractor should it have 2 fuel fillers on the tank?
the tank that is fitted is stamped Henry Ford and sons Cork Ireland.

Hi, Have just acquired a F to add to the other blue and orange Fordsons in the collection, but I do not know a lot about them. I have looked above the manifold and can more or less make out the SN 171583. The last digit might not be 100% but will not alter the date I guess. I was told on the sale fi...

Hi, I am looking for a standard Fordson petrol TVO tank. If anybody has one spare please let me know

Thanks

Fred

Hi all, I am looking to date a super major. It has had the engine changed for an industrial unit sometime in the past and the serial number plate has also gone. The casting code near the clutch mechanism is M23H. Does anybody know what date this correspods to. Also what diesel pump would have been o...

Hi, Had the old girl running sweetly today. The problem when we eventually found it was the seat at the bottom of the mixture needle. The seat was set very low in the float chamber that was on. When the chamber was changed for one of the spares I had, she was straight of choke. Thanks for all the help

Hi all,

Latest update is that the manifold has had the inlet ports full of parafin for the last 4 days with no leaks present at all so it seems sound. I am going to have the vaporising plate and manifold resurfaced next to make sure they are sealing correct.

More updates to follow as they happen.

Hi, I have already tried the valves on the bottom of the manifold and blocked them off with bolts. There is also suffiecient fuel to the carb as I have fitted all new fuel lines. I will recheck the inlet gaskets as they may have not seated correct Thanks for the feedback I will keep you posted on th...

Hi This is my first time on a forum so feeling a bit of a virgin!! I have a 1938 Fordson N that I cannot get running off choke. It has the original type manifold and vaporiser on. I have checked the usual things and nothing seems to work. I have fitted a new mixture needle and choke flap. Everything...
