Thanks for all your replies guys. The levelling box came apart a little too easily for my liking. On inspection, the thread is very worn and after screwing into the bottom part (B on the picture) for an inch or so it just drops in :( its also bent slightly at the base of the gearbox :cry: The fixed ...

I have just acquired a pair of rusted drop arms and before I start heating and whacking I need to know how the levelling box goes together... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14708387/levellingbox.jpg I have borrowed this image from ebay, its not my own. I do not have a pin in the slot as shown but instead t...

Thanks Paumass, make do and mend is exactly right!

Thats the same seat as I have, its the power Major one isn't it? when I got mine it had a huge rubber block bolted on through the two holes but it made the seat pan tip forward uncomfortably. I'd love bumpers but now my seat is so far to the rear its riding on the hydraulics :( Really needs a new fr...

Part number 6243 is the one you need I think.

LOL

I can see at least one cheesy grin! Nice one!

Definitely going to be a working tractor Fenhayman. I can't afford it any other way

Thanks Salvador.

I know some purists will argue about the colour, but I had the orange in my shed!

Offended at the thought of spending around £55 + postage on a pair of grills for the Power Major.... One cardboard template, one old screen from some washing plant, a slitting disc on the grinder, some Fordson Orange and a couple of hours later.... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14708387/grill2.jpg http://...

Ebay number for this rivetter is 221034727605 very tempted....

Yeah that may be the way for me to go Robert. Thanks.

Looking for one of these to give me more time to fix the seal on the pulley.

Anyone have one lying around who would be willing to post to Ireland?

Thanks

Loonking for E1ADDN-3413-C PIN (Radius Rod)-Rear if anyone has one kicking around and is willing to post to Ireland??

Thanks

Thanks everyone for helping on this.

Does anyone know where I could source an element the same as the one in BearCreekMajors picture, with the flange midway down the element???

This is what remains of the removeable element....... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14708387/element1.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14708387/element2.jpg I guess one of the previous owners had fitted a short pipe to the top tube to at least try to get air through the oil.... at least until the bowl started ...

Thanks for that Tim, I don't suppose a close up photo of the surviving rim would help would it?

Also, is there any noticeable difference between the AC and Burgess units that you know of?

I found the element or rather the ring which used to contain the element. It was jammed into the bowl and I mistook it for part of the body.

Is there a specific type I need to order or is there just the one kind?

This may sound like a silly question, but can the alternator circuit and the starter circuit both run through the same contacts on the ignition switch?

Thanks for that Timee, I'll have another look later today. Can I just ask though, with the bowl off the bottom of the unit, where should the pipe coming down the top section end in relation to the bottom edge of the top section? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14708387/filter.jpg you'd never guess I was a d...

So there I was with a week and a bit to go before Lily the Power Major is trailered away to get the clutch sorted and I decided to do some little jobs around the old girl and decided to have a look in the air cleaner..... Dropped the bowl off the bottom and it was as dry as a bone. just a few bits o...
