It would have to be drilled out to an even larger diameter to use a helicoil

You Are right John B, therefor the best way would be to make them yourself and use pa M18 Fine thread.

Lerooy, I would go for the heli coil option, but you must have thread tools and a lathe or know someone who has that. There is a risk if the bigger hole needed for that coil punches trough you will lose oil through it. But with some sealing it can be stopped. The bolt is a UNC 5/8 -11 thread. Drill ...

Leeroy, Do you have a picture from the side you are refering to? I understand the picture above is the once turned side that is now the upside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp31p8jSWaM The video shows how a helicoil works. You can buy a set but thats expensive. You can make one yourself on a lath...

Last year, I have don one hole on the upside. Made a bush with inner and outher treaths. Can't remember now what I used for the outside Metric or UNC or BSW. Have not document it with a drawing.
I notice a rather thin castwork around the hole, so be carefull with Helicoile.

Nice
Next time, one in the front too Thats what a Super six need.

Don't forget the pictures.

Could it be that the pump is 180 degrees wrong?

I realy don't know.

I'll try to sort it out.

The links don't work anymore. Wonder what happend.

That tractor has been in our museum for a vew years and than it went on. This video is made at the Countyfair Assen The Netherlands in 2011. There are 6 videos on the internet.

Sandy,

It has the breather in front of the dieselpump, so it's a Power engine.

Great and heavy stuff.

Nice tractor.
It's not the normal creeper box. This one is wider and has another lever.

Thank Emiel.
Whis you alle a merry Christmas.

The facebook group Fordson E1A Major 1951-64 Discussion & Sales group is a great source of info. Lately Jim Cochrane has placed a lot of leaflets and documents such as user manuals and service letters from the Major in this group. In addition, there are also many brochures of implements that can be ...
