Ok Thanks I guess that messes up that idea then I will have to search further away from Canada down in the U.S.A. I thought thats where you may of been from.
Regards Robert

Hi I was wondering where are you located if you dont mind me asking as i would like a couple of those old style units. Here in Canada most of the good units and tin work that where around here got shipped back to the U.K by a well known U.K tractor and parts dealer. He paid nothing for the original ...

Here we go again good luck finding that :) . They are so rare that anybody on here is not going to want to sell it if they have one and know what it is :wink: . Most wrecking yards are begining to realise they are worth more than $400 that any of them used to sell for by the amount of guys wanting t...

tell ya what theres a guy in Manitoba would shoot ya if you bought that and wrecked it. He would like that in his own collection. Regards Robert

Well done Brian , My Mum is the same and stopped taking certain meds as they made her so tired she was half dead most of the time. she asked the Doc and he said go steady and see what happens. His last comment was it was not his job to kill her pumping her full of stuff that was making her worse. Ma...

Hi the top link bracket that is missing from your tractor is also different. I still have to get out to my parts super its been so wet here in Manitoba. The guy who's land its on said you cant even walk to it at the moment.
Regards Robert

Thats a nice working tractor. The way its raining here in Canada at the moment I could do with that winch as theres going to be work for it pulling combines :) . I think those fenders are from a late 5ooo series ford they do not look wide enough to be county mud gaurds as I have seen fitted before. ...

Thanks Henk Now i know what you have it makes it a lot easyer to understand :) . I guess you have to make an adapter plate for the 4 bolts down to the 2 bolts or hope you can drill 2 holes without drilling into the hydraulic oil areas in the top cover. Then hope your legs are long enough to reach th...

I think the extra gearbox section may be a "Howard Reduction Box" - fitted originally on majors for rotavating, powered rotavator at right angles to direction of travel. Made by Howard Rotary Hoes in the UK in the 50's and 60's Gave "creep speed" - ideal for hedgecutters and any implement when norm...

Hi Nick Ive never seen new replacements unless somebody has new old stock laying around. I think its only good used if you can find them. I was wondering if its the washers pushing the arm up against the end of the steering box that makes it tight. if it is that could you grind some off the back of ...

Hi Henk I just looked in my power major parts book it shows seats as delux with and without h.p.l it looks as if there is an adapter plate that fit on the 4 bolt mount to convert over to the 2 bolt centre holes and maybe it altres the seat height as with no hydraulic top the seat would sit lower. Is...

all my Majors with hyds on have 4 bolts for the seat apart from the supers that have 2 in the centre and a completley different top. all the majors with the flat top had 2 bolts in the centre as I belive the seat and spring was very close on these tractors and the E27n. The hyd top style seat tipped...

Ok Thats good news on the oil leaks. I guess you will have to take her apart and see exactly what is worn and how much. You can change the bushes in the pedals. If they are the right ones agriline have them. The shaft however may have extensive wear , where the bushings sit as they are not greased o...

The Brake pedal that is free on the shaft has a bushing in it as does the clutch pedal that is on the other end of the shaft so they will be worn and probably the shaft is too The pedal that is tight is fixed to the shaft to transmit the left pedal of the tractor over to the left side brake mechanis...

Thats a cool machine a lot of time goes into stuff like that. Its just a shame its the wrong shade of blue :lol: If you guys think this is red necks at play search V8 chainsaw on youtube. :wink: Maybe If one of you great computer guys finds it you could post it for us on here. :) im technically chal...

Hi Originaly I believe it had two 6v batterys connected in series to give 12v that filled the tray then there was a frame that fitted over the top with long bolts to clamp it to the battery tray. I guess you have a modern 12v single Battery and will need to make up something of a similar idea to fit...

i didnt realise it would run like a motor, good tip that is. I tested mine with a multimeter and found it worked when i had 19.2volts coming back Hi Nick yes good isnt it. I guess my friends used to laugh at me being the young guy talking to 70 year old, old farts as they called them :lol: . but it...

Would the regulator on a Major behind gauges also work on a Power Major? Hope to work on my electricals once it cools off and believe I may need a new one. Thanks.[/quote] Hi Gman In theory yes you could make it work. but in practice Im not sure if that regulator will work with the dynamo. as there ...

Hi Guys I Am not sure how you are testing the dynamo but you can do it by joining the two terminals together on the back and put 12volt battery power there with ground to the casing if the dynamo runs like a motor it is probably fine. You do have to remove the fan belt from the engine though. If the...

Where is the seal ? Hi The seal is right behind the handbrake lever if you dont know its there its not obviouse . There may be a flat washer in front of it. When you look at the shaft from the end the outer casting hole is a lot bigger than the shaft diameter that is the seal that reduces the hole ...

no handbrake how did u keep it stoped when parked? Hi the Canadian Majors I have dont have the park brake either. They have a handle on the foot plate and you pull it up twist the top 1/2 turn then push the brake pedal down and there is a ratchet on the pedal to keep it down. I changed the seal on ...

Hi Mark Nice to see you've been out on the major she looks good . just one thing though if you stopped messing with that other stuff that is not suposed to be in pictures on the fordson forum she'd be done by know .
Regards Robert

Hi the Tractor you are working on is a super major . The ordinary major Nick is working on had the regalator in a tin box with the gauges/ switches down by the high low lever. Your tractor has the gauges under the steering wheel on top of the fuel tank like you say. and a 3 sided flat plate where th...

Didn't know Majors were made in spain ??. Still not sure what the big cylinder is at the front though, I'm sure the power steering kits i've seen on Agriline etc don't have them. I have never seen a picture of the ebro one with power steering on from factory They may use a different style pump on t...

Yeah I can shed some light on it Im guessing that as its in spain and it says Ebro on the hood its a knock off copy of the best of british supermajor that was built over there :lol: . That company bought all the molds when ford finnished with them in the U.K. I think those molds are where some of th...
