Has anyone a part number for the shrouded thermostat that is required for a super major engine. I can’t lay my hands on one.

Gentlemen Progress……… I changed the the Hydraulic ram cylinder as per fig 30 in the parts manual on page 74 from the donor tractor. This got the hydraulic system going. We are very happy with the results. Arms in place Roll bar in place Wings mounted Next tasks Give the back wheels a brush down with...

Hydraulic update
The hydraulic system is not working.
Pump is perfect.
The arms operate when air is applied to correct point. I borrowed a valve top assembly from the Super 4. There is no movement on the arms. I suspect an issue with the hydraulic top. Am I missing something?
Jim

Thanks for the update Sandy. I actually have a DAR for the super major and I may fit it to check it out but I want to get the existing Valve assembly working as the DAR is pencilled in for another project. I have a 6 cylinder fordson combine engine and am on the lookout for a good quality sm backend...

Evening all. Further update on progress. Donor tractor sourced with the relevant pump and piping removed, cleaned and placed in the Selene. Oil pumps out of the pipe on turnover. The existing Top cover was damaged. Between a newer one and the donor tractor and the existing, we upgraded the hydraulic...

June update Back axle works complete Brake works complete. We lightly sanded the new disks and it’s made nice fit now. New oring in the bull pinion. Brake & clutch pedal cross-shaft seal install completed with pedal looking good. Moving on to the next issue. Hydraulic top install. We had a hydraulic...

Gentlemen The plan is to refurbish the existing calliper’s and use new disks we then have clearance to install the brake box covers. I don’t think machining the covers to take up the difference is worth the hassle. Next point of attack is the hydraulic pump. The tractor didn’t have one and also the ...

Re your question about the Selene parts on the Super Major, All that I have found to date is manual for a Roadless axle on the forum and can pass that on to you if it helps.
