...Don't mean to interrupt the flow here but I came here for answers that I couldn't find anywhere else. ...Here is an answer for one of our past members. ...I doubt anyone here ever had one of these but they are a strong front loader. ...This was posted 2 years ago here. I found the answer yesterda...

...Hey Tim, after a couple of months I found the tag. Painted over but numbers and style are still visible because they were stamped Inside right vertical support .

...Thanks Brian. You guys are so good. I guess I'll just have to live with the fact that my Power Major is a rare breed. It sure is here in the states. Nobody I know has ever seen one except Tim (the guy I bought it from). ...I sure wish there was some way to see my load in the bucket. ...Two things...

...Looked for a half hour and cannot find "WIKI" but thanks anyway Brian.
...I feel like a pest now so I'll just find out on my own later when it cools off.
...Thanks again guys!

...Thanks Henk. As confusing as it is I believe I have the live PTO so I am in low.
...Man I have never seen any of this in my book or on these forums.
...It's 106° out here now but I will check it all when it gets cooler. Thanks again.

Low is up and high is down on a standard tractor. High is up and low is down on a live PTO tractor. Which one do you have? ...JC!!!!! now I'm confused. I have the 1959 Fordson Power Major with PTO. ...I need to know what position it is in (hi or low) and if I can change it with the engine off or do...

...Thank you Henk, I do need more practice and with your help I have some confidence. It's hard getting used to a new ride.
...My uncle Clyde would have been proud (anybody know what kind of tractor he is on?)'

...Thanks Nick for taking your time. ...Will it shift with the engine off? ...I have been working in high all this time and thinking it should go slower HEE! HEE! Silly me. I thought that was it but was afraid to change it for fear of messing something up. ...I wish the low and reverse were opposite...

...I looked all over this NET early on and could not find a pattern for the gear shifting. ...I still haven't figured how to get from low to hi but remember, I'm a novice. ...Still playing with this thing and I'll soon have it down. ...Everyone says I'll get used to the front loader but now I have t...

That one sounds interesting. I wish they had posted some pictures of it. Have you seen it? ...No, I haven't even called. I bet it would be a good one however. ...BTW, Tim brought this one over to me on a trailer and my heart sank when he couldn't even get it started long enough to get it off and in...

...Well I'll explain some things. First of all yes, I did buy it from a fellow from Oroville but probably not the one you are thinking of (there were two). I bought it from one of the members here who posted it on Facebook (one of my friends). 20 miles from Chico is where I live and have since 73. ....
