The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

:shock: Hi Guys, Follow this link for an amazing trip in ingenuity, http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,213971.0/topicseen.html I guess tracks were cheaper to produce than this piece of brillance, I'm really surprised it never caught on. by the way I'm stll chasing service sheets or owners ...

Hi frank, Nice original looking beastie, for what its worth my 1950 P6 has a yellow (definetly yellow, not faded orange) undercoat under the red, everyone I've spoken to in the old machinery club I'm a member of (TADOMS) agree's blue with red, apparently a few did make it out with orange wheels so I...

Hi Barry, Thanks for the reply, The last filter I obtained was from Cummins and it was the closest they could match for the direction of the oil flow. it was a Fleetgaurd LF598. I cut the botton two inch's or so off and it fitted nicely in the cage, the original felt end seals were used and it worke...

Hi guy's, Time to give Milton (E27N P6)an oil change, bit of a problem as oil appears to be heavilly contaminated very grey in colour not shore but it may be part of the old oil filter which I had to cut to fit the brass cage of and I've noticed metal filings on the sump oil cage, bugger! :cry: don'...

:P Hi Frank, Thanks for the tips, since my last post I've wrangled a copy of a parts list and with a bit of perserverance should be able to pester my way into an owners manual from one of my fellow TADOMS club members. It's a shame you don't have time for a visit, I would enjoy catching up again. Re...

Hi Barry,
Thanks very much for the info. I think the most problems with a new project is acquiring info, the E27N wasn't a problem so much for written info but I'm finding the modle N a bit more challanging.

Stevo

Hi All,
Any ideas of the colors for a 1930 N? and does anyone have any parts lists or manuals for said tractor? appreciate any guidence.

Stevo

Hi Mike,

Stevo

Hi all,
Am hoping someone can help with info for my cork Modle N, I'm after, owners manual, workshop manual and any service sheets that may be out there for this modle.
Regards,
Stevo

Hi Brian, Yes, quite a project but will look a treat when finished, best part is that apart from a few small items virtually everythings there, thats 90% of the battle as far as I'm concerned. Hi frank, don't think there will be much reproduction going on Milton is sulking and has turned blue, I'm s...

:D hi Guy's, Just a short bragging note, I've just collected my new baby, a 1930 "I think, cork Modle N. I picked it up from a farm out in the scrub today, needs a bit of work as you can see, haven't not run for at least 10 years that the previous owner is aware of. He told me he didn't even know it...

"IT'S THE GREATEST MIX UP THAT YOU HAVE EVER SEEN, MY FATHER HE WAS ORANGE AND MY MOTHER SHE WAS GREEN" (can't remeber the name of the song or singer but seems pretty apt)

Hi dave,
Thanks for clearing that up, N's it is. The F had (I beleave) a buzz coil located I think on the LHS and I wasn't aware of the radiator difference. I hope to restore one, one day once I finish my E27N.

Stevo

Hi RW, Thanks, The starter is the real McCoy, its a cav, I've had two P6's one with an after market perkins to replace the Petrol/Kero and the other factory fitted, 1949 and 1950 models respectively, both with Cav starters, I know the starter motors well as I had a hell of a time rebuilding one. :wi...

8) Last of the rally photo's, these are the machines which really interest me, particularly E27N's When I walked through the gate I was greated with a nice original F model, at least I think its an F, always have trouble with F and N models, this first one obviously hasn't run for a long time and wa...

Couple of photos of a super major from the Rally, still in its working clothes, the owner said it is in regular hard work on his farm.

Hi Barry,
You know I didn't see a single one at the rally but it doesn't surprise me that Fordson would produce said adaptation. Come to think of it for such a great little tractor I only very occasionally see one.

There was quite a number of david Browns on show very loving restored but not one that I saw entered the tractor pull. http://www.4freeimagehost.com/uploads/PUSH6e284bccc7f4.jpg I have to admit that I do have a soft spot for the red's as I learnt to drive a cropmaster very similar to this :) http://...

:oops: Come to think of it your right Dave and Henk, it was an allis chamers, I was a bit excited during the rally and neglected to write down the breeds of tractors there. I never thought to get some background shots for members that haven't been to Oz, I've got other pictures to post so Hopefully ...

Hi Kev,
I did leave very early. it was about 6 1/2 hrs each way, Photo's are fine at my end I wonder if anyone else can see them?

Hi Again, Went to a rally at a town called Biloela on the weekend drove up on Friday and came back saterday arvo. its about 600 Kms away so a bit of a drive but well worth it, I've taken a few snaps and hope to post them over the next few weeks hopefully in the correct forums. I met a fellow who sho...

Hi Brian,
I guess the fellow on Utube had a good reason for not mentioning the bit about heads breaking, perhaps he's just biased towards IH (poor deranged fellow) not like us Fordson chaps at all

Stevo

Hi Mark, I know what you mean about work horse, the one on U tube has obviously had a hard life, but apparently still going strong still think its quite ingenious though using an additional valve to increase the combustion chamber space and lower the compression for the gas running. Appears the main...

:shock: Saw this on utube thought it might end the petrol/diesal debate, you really can have the best of both worlds. this IH dozer starts and runs on petrol and then can be switched to diesal for hard working, I think its a brilliant concept particularly for all you Northern Hemisphere types who ex...

Hi Barry, Thanks for the reply, thought as much, what a bummer :( something else to keep an eye out for. I think Aussie Frank was having some faces screen printed up quite some time ago, wonder if his are accurate. They regassed the tube but I have no idea as to how, I remember them saying it took s...
