The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Hi Sandy,

yes I own the 2 books myself. All pictures are made by members of blue force to highlight all models. There are pictures on the Ford 1186, Sem conversion and also the Australian fords

Here are some random pictures out of the book.

Posting this to help our friends at Blue Force News from Blue Force! Blue Force still has a limited number of their incredible tractor history books available—but once they’re gone, they’re gone for good! 458085221_10160537460387336_8885637893611442873_n.jpg These two hardback volumes each boast 528...

Yes you might have a gearbox seal issue, did you check the level in the gearbox.
Only if you have a creeper box, you need more oil. About 40liters is the standard.

About 7 years ago I installed a new oi bath filter on the super major, as the clamp was worn and the bottom part was beyond repair. It went with a V-type seal, but through the years it was always a pain in the ass to install and it never sealed well. Today I got it apart and found the seal had come ...

new solenoid did arrive last week, hope to fit it soon.

Yes, in this picture the cable is probably taken off. I need to put a new crimping end on it. Might get that fixed first and use the solenoid from another tractor to see if it's working. All might be caused by a bad connection, as there where sparks there in the past :s The tractor is now a bit far ...

this one looks close enough:

What about this model? Is this ever used on the fordson?

I think I need a new one. Seems like the stut is broken and I only have clicks when I try to start the tractor, but no luck so far.
Is this model still available? I just seem to find one with the start button on it.

Yes, the new seal is like twice the side.
I did cut it in half...
The split pins could be installed right away.

Henk, it might be worth taking the head off. It will allow you to check the liners for grooves.
Did you ever recondition the engine your self?

Henk,
I hope it will solve your problem.
Which oil did you order?

Good evening, question: do the new performance shaft with seal 44 fit into the older models pto housing from before June 1963? And the other way round, older shaft with seal 54 into np housing? Thanks and regards, Huub Hello Huub, the pto drop box does have a different size on a new performance tra...

The seal depends if you have a new performance tractor or not. The double lip is for the new performance tractor. All others have 2 seals back to back

little progress made so far: Old bush, no damage to the casting, just one time https://i.postimg.cc/7hLmz8tn/20240302-134322.jpg new and old pin together: https://i.postimg.cc/7LvsWRbq/20240302-134331.jpg The bushing the sell wasn't the right size. A friend with a lathe did the outside. For the insi...

Hi, I think it's worth looking at the bearings in the pto box. It's not a big job, you will need to drain the oil from the rear end and gearbox. Before you start with this, check the oil level in the gearbox. take out the pto shaft from the back. dismantle the pto lever and you should be able to tak...

I got 62052RSSKF bearing as pilot. it says it is normal clearance. Should I worry?
when I need bearings I always try to order skf or any other good quality brand.

Hi welcome on the board.

If you drain the oil and take of the side cover, it might tell you a lot.
Transmission handbrake could be causing rhe problem.
Is it possible to engage disengage the pto without any issues?

Will post more pictures of the engine soon. As for the starter, It will be reused. I think I needs these: https://www.autoelectricalspares.co.uk/m45-m50-starter-motor-bushing-kit-replaces-lucas-tcb118-ssp0020-61194019-54243853-1873-p.asp In the meantime I will change the brushes too. Currently busy ...

well it's my first tractor, and I neglected a bit over the last years, there was always something more urgent tot do on the Selene and County. But it was always ready when I needed it for a tractor run. Some more pictures from today. https://i.postimg.cc/dQdKwYc3/20231231-152225.jpg Radiator needs t...

I fitted a new dutch Kawe double clutch to be able to use the 6 cylinder rpm and power. Some pain in the wallet, but there is only one way and that's the right way. However, it was a little nightmare to fit the engine to correspond with the splines. I have the same clutch in my County, so far I'm h...

This very last day of the month and year, it finally started! no way back.

this is the inside of the valve body:

I'm busy with the power steering and I think I solved the mystery on O ring 28. According to the I&T manual there was an early production power steering control valve. this specific o-ring is not on the diagram. It only shows up on the later production power steering cylinder. Obvious there is also ...

happy Xmas for you all!

Check enginefixuk and emmark, they might have it. I got mine for the industrial ford engine there
