The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Ok people, sorry for the delay but have only just returned to the tractor and successfully repaired the hydraulic issue. I ordered a working pump because I suspected that it may have been the issue and only wanted to do the top off once and fix it while off. After the pump arrived I started by drain...

Thank you for that clarification Brian and Timee. I assume the mixed messages I was receiving was in reference to the driven gear.

Hi Tractor people, Can anyone please verify for me that a hydraulic Pump from a Super Major would be the same as from a New performance Super major. I am slowly working me way back towards the pump being the issue with my Hydraulic Fault finding and have sourced a replacement but it is for a Super m...

Thanks Brian, missed that crucial detail.

Have even tried to change password and submit that one?

Brian I am unsure why but when I try several links from the site it asks for username and password. When I submit it, it says it is wrong and access is denied?. "Any wonder I cant fix a Tractor" any clues

The only casting I can find with a 3 or a 4 followed by a letter and then some numbers is in the picture I took of the I.D Plate above which is labled Serial Prefix and has 3R, 4 64 on it along with Serial Number 11031 and model Number 94142..... There was a number on the right rear arm but I could ...

Just got back from tractor to look for serial / casting numbers. Was able to find the following numbers, RHS of Engine, EIADDN6015 located below injector pump T4 just below above casting number S or 8 D50J with J3167 just below it on the head FoMoCo stamped in a oval on the head Large FL on head jus...

Brian, no it is not Leon. I won't share the gents name on Forum as I have not spoken with him as yet and would not do so without his permission. Will try to get serial numbers today and see what I have. Hopefully will find out about replacement ASC also.

Tanks for the information. That is why I am desperate to I.d my tractor model etc. When people say number stamped near injector 1 on motor is that the flat surface close to radiator. If so I have no number stamped on this area. Will check other areas next time near tractor

Brian, I have made many phone calls today and think I have identified someone who is reportedly a bit of a guru with Fordson Tractors and actually owned and still owns a dealership that used to sell them. Since my Tractor is originally from down that way he may even know the history of it and may ha...

The original Workshop Manual I was using on showed hydraulic setup for older style Majors. I have since found another Ford Shop Manual and going by the picture above I thought I ...

Ok I just got back from spending a few hours fault finding the hydraulics on the Tractor above. What I found was as follows, Rear Arms : Selector Switch in, and Qualitrol Off (lever down) they would function although not at any great speed : Qualitrol selected no function Front End Loader : Selector...

Anyhow I recently purchased what I suspect from Grill badge is a Fordson Super Major. I was told it...

Hi all, I have just bought my first Tractor and believe it is a Fordson Super Major. I live in South Australia and recently purchased some acres. I bought the Tractor to mainly perform slashing tasks, but the fact it has a Front end loader was a bonus. I have never owned a Tractor before and this ca...
