Re: 60 farm fordson major diesel
Hi guys, It's been really wet here for the last month but finally put a bit of paint on some of the 60 model Fordson parts. I ended up taking the rops of the 54 model and am planning of taking the post hole digger off the 54 also and putting on the 60 model. Also scored a cheap jib that I will be pu...

Re: Billy's LH mudguard - Repairing corroded tinwork
Wow. The rust you had in your guards looks a lot worse than my guards. Happy you got it finished. I prefer to cut out and plate on to stronger metal. I have made the patches for the strengthening beams today. So hopefully i will have the guards repaired by the end of the week. There is only minor pl...

Re: 60 farm fordson major diesel
Outside of bits done today. I wasn't going to do too much on it but am taking the opportunity to show my lad how to do some rust repairs on it. Guards and nose cone next.

Re: 60 farm fordson major diesel
I'll try and hunt down the rigid pipes. I'm just trying to use bits I can get or have. I tried to fix a couple of dents in tank but it has been painted over surface rust. I'm a spray painted by trade so for me stripping is better. I repaired a few items and etched them up today. Slowly but surely. h...

Re: 60 farm fordson major diesel
I started the 60 model up today and it ran for about 30 secs than cut out. I’m thinking the filters are sucking air and probably why it had the bodgy plastic filter between lift pump and Simms pump. I did buy filters for them and the pump on the motor seems to still leak with the o ring they supplie...

Re: 60 farm fordson major diesel
Hi, Tried to prime diesel again today, I got diesel up to 1 & 4 pots but nothing in 2 & 3. ( tracto almost ran on 2 pots ) I pulled lines off and cleaned out but still nothing. I took plate off injector pump to find no movement in 2 & 3. A bit of gentle persuasion just tapping the springs freed them...

Re: 60 farm fordson major diesel
Hi, Nice tractor Sandy. I’m trying to prime diesel filters and pump, but pump with glass bowl doesn’t seem to be pumping. still waiting on 1 pipe. Have you guys put kits in them or just replace with new? And just want to confirm bits on the injector pump. I think the oil fill is to the brass nut hal...

Re: 60 farm fordson major diesel
Thanks, I have put a heap of WD40 around the elbow of exhaust but it isn’t budging. If I can’t get something made to go over the piece stuck in the elbow, I’m thinking of cutting down the pipe where the gap is to split it. Unfortunately if I go straight up from elbow it hits the bonnet ( the bonnet ...

Re: 60 farm fordson major diesel
Thanks John and Sandy, I made some progress this week end. I cleaned the diesel filters and replaced filters. Radiator is put back in place with new hoses, cap and thermostat. I still need to hook up lines to diesel filters to pump. Air filter top is sorted. I need to find a oil bath for bottom of i...

I’m thinking lever is a decompression lever. Hope to hook diesel filter up this week end and maybe radiator and hoses.
Thanks again

Re: 60 farm fordson major diesel
Trying again for photos. Photo of ignition switch. Where should the ignition wire from generator go? Should I also put a wire to battery from switch? Is the button under gauges just a horn? The lever bottom beside choke, what is it used for? Thanks again. Hopefully fixed photos Sandy. Dave https://i...

Re: 60 farm fordson major diesel
It is a photo of back of ignition switch. And wiring diagram you sent me. I put photos up in all revelent boxes. So you don’t have to use link. Sandy let me know if the photos appear thanks. Also does the oil sender have a tube that goes to gauge or is it just electric wire.
