This is a message for AdrianNPMajor Hello Adrian, I have been reading a post of yours dated August 11th 2011 about Super Major Hydraulics bobbing, and you speak about a semie retired fitter named Brian who worked for a Brench of Ernest Doe. I would like to trace him if I could because I have two sup...

Hello ,
I need to have some front wheel weights on my Super np with the TS82 plough, does anyone have a pair that they would sell me.
regards,
Peter

Hello , You say you have an instruction manual for a Ransom TS82r, is that the plough with the modified headstock where all the turnover mechanism is in the headstock? If so does it have a section for the parts of the headstock. I would be interested to obtain it if it fits the bill 07942 862635 Kin...

Hello I have a TS82A which runs behind a Super Major np and my experience is that it works fine without a depth wheel but if you are on strong land you may find that you need wheel weights on the front wheels because when the hydraulics try to ease the plough upwards and transfer weight to the back ...

Hello , There is much discussion about the correct colour for the Super np isn't there. Before I painted my Sper np I made extensive enquiries on this subject and I discovered that Fords used to buy their paint from a company named Masons. However Masons sold out to Axo Noble some years ago so I got...

Hello Everybody, Can anybody please tell me what colour the exhaust pipe was on Super np's when they left the factory. Were they silver or black?. I am having a go at showing this year and I want to make sure that everything is as it was when it left the factory. I am sure someone will know. Many th...

Hello Timee Mathias1 and Adrian, Thank you all very much for the information on toolbox colour. I am glad that because it is fixed to the side rail it should be blue because that is what my show tractor is, so, as I am going to Stradsett show with it in May I can go knowing everything is right. This...

Hello everybody,
Could some nice person please tell me what colour the toolbox should be on a Super Major np I have two one has a blue toolbox the other has a grey on which is correct

Many thanks,

Peter

Hello Every body The Auxiliary service control button is seized in the in position on my Super np and I have looked in the parts book ( page 41 ) to try and ascertain what might be wrong with it. I see in the diagram that there is a little ball and spring items 8 and 11 which locate into two recesse...

Helloo Henk,

Thank you for replying to my question, so it isn't a problem.

Many thanks,

Peter

Hello When I start one of my Super np's the belt pulley starts turning even though the selecter is in the neutral position, you can stop it by putting pressure on the pulley wheel but as soon as you take away the braking pressure it starts to spin again, What causes that I wonder. Could any body clu...

Hello Henk very pleased that the replacement seal worked for you. I am about to fit the new seal on my tractor and I am sure it will be OK, it is of the 1964 type that was fitted in the factory and the seal itself is made of leather rather than neolite so it won't wear the shaft so badly, so I am ve...

Hello again, Further to my last post where I asked for help to find an oil seal supplier, I have now found one and Philip who I dealt with was very helpful, he is able to supply me from the original part No (N-115080-N). They are situated in Burton-upon -Trent in Staffordshire , their website is www...

Hello lads,
I am really struggling to find the oil seal item no2 on Page 54 of the parts book, part number N-115080-B, could anyone suggest where I might find one of these. The nearest I can get is 88.9mm o/d 63.5mm i/d 12.7mm thick.

Could anyone help me please

Peter

Hello Henk.

When you replaced the original oil seal with a modern spring loaded type od o/d 90mm, i/d 63.5mm and a thickness of 13mm. was it satisfactory ,did it stop oil leaking.

Kind regards,

Peter

Hello Shepp,

Thank you for filling me in on the technical publication, I recon I'll get after one of those
Many thanks once again,
Peter

Hello .
What is an I&T Manual, referred to in the above posts, It seems to be a very interesting thing to have. Where could one of these be got hold of?

Peter

Hello Henk, Adrian np Major and Shepp, Thank you for your reply boys. This tractor does not have a belt pulley on so the problem will be either a faulty bearing or backlash. I tend to think that as the problem manifests itself on relatively low revs and not while the tractor is pulling it will be ba...

Hello Shepp, Many thanks again. In the light of what you say about the last few Supers being sent out with different parts I think I will keep it as it is because the pump on it at present is performing very well, and sometimes the old addage applies" If it aint broken don't fix it All the best Shep...

When I take one of my Super np's on the road and running in top gear on relatively low rev's ( up to about 1400revs ). there is a very pronouced chattering which seems to come from the gear box, so I changed the oil and put 90 gear oil in instead which did seem to improve matters somewhat. However t...

Hello Shepp, Thank you once again for the further information on the fuel pump on my tractor. Although it takes me a long time to complete I try very hard to get my tractor to be as near as possible to how they would have looked and worked when they first left the factory. This being the case the va...

Shepp,
I omitted to mention that after the oval Ford badge there comes in large letters FL.

Peter

Hello again Shepp. I have looked again at the numbers stamped on the block of this tractor and they don't make much sense to me but anyway here they are; firstly just under the injector pipes there is a stamp that looks a bit like the Volkswagon car badge but rather small; then come what looks like ...

Hello Shepp,

Many thanks for the useful information that you have sent me. I am sorry that I have not replied before now but I have been away from my computer for a while, however I will now go and look for the engine number on that tractor and email you again with what I find.

Kind regards,
Peter

Hello Shepp, Thank you for replying to my question about the diesel pump on my Super np. Yes it does have an entry point for the tacho cable on the rear plate of the pump, it also has a diamond shaped cover plate on the side held on with 2 studs. The model number is clearly stamped on the upper part...
