The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Hi, I could not log on for a while after I updated my email adres and my account got blocked. Thanks for the tips and I will use a pallet lift when I split the tracktor, the reason I wanted a trolly jack is that they are cheap and I can use it for other things as well once I am finished with the clu...

Thanks Adrian, I have found a oldtimer tractor club near where i live and I hope they can assess the damage once the tractor is split. I have seen some youtube films on how to do that, not sure if i dare to do it but I dont have a choice if I want to use the tractor again. Most of them use a jack on...

Hi, I have not been active on this forum for some years as my ASP Super Major did not malfunction. But today after pushing back some dirt the clutch stopped working. I was working with the lift arms and had no gear in. Then I wanted to put it in to first gear but all that happend was a lot of grindi...

Hi Brian,

Someone on the forum told me it was most probably a NP major, but if thats not the case, what is it then? I had to look a couple of times before I spotted the holes in the NP major. It is difficult to keep them appart

Regards,
Rob.

Hi Janus,

Can I help you to get rid of the left rocker and the top link bracket?

Regards,
Rob.

Thanks pat!

I did not see this one yet and I will bid on it

It looks like it is not for a NP major but maybe it will fit, the bracket will anyhow.

Again, many thanks!

Oops

But I did get the other picture from some post on the forum
Thanks for the help Brian.

Kind regards,
Rob.

Hi,

If anyone has some detailed pitures of the NP toplink bracket and or rocker, please dont hesitate to post them I decided I will make the bracket myself and some pitures might help.

Kind regards,
Rob.

The lower piece should not be a problem Liam, If you dont need the rocker I would realy like to have it, I want to make the tractor as complete as possible. You say that the lower bracket is easy to find but I have searched the entire internet a couple of times and looked in catalogs of different s...

Hi Liam, Thats realy great news :D you just made my day! I just took a picture of the back so that it would be clear what parts are missing, i think I might not have discribed it acuratly. I will post the picture anayway so you can have a look as well. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak...

I dont think I will ever "need" draft control and I have thought about a bracket just to conect a toplink. The reason I wanted to build one is that I dont know if it is safe to use only one bracket without the link to the draft control (yoke ?) It seems that the forces are divided into two points an...

Hi, I am missing a part on the Super Major new performance I have and I can not find a spare one, new or used. So I want to build it myself. Unless all of you tell me this would be unwise :oops: because it would not be strong enough. It is the peace you would normaly connect the top link to. I have ...

Just kidding but some of the parts are expensive!

I do have the lower links and will order the rest.

Regards,
Rob.

@Henk, This a nice site with clear pitures and good info however, it does not give the lenght of the lower link arms. If I buy some arms of whatever brand it might be good to know the maximum and minimum that fit on the tractor. At least I know now how they look like :lol: @Roadless63 Thanks for the...

Hi, I have a Fordson new preformence SM, or a "all spare parts" Fordson but the rear end is a new preformance super major. The thing is that all the components that make the 3 point hitch are gone. So I need a complete set of lower lift arms, top link and so on but I dont realy know what to buy or l...

Well Robert, That the lift works is mainly because you wrote that your lift did not work untill you cleaned the unload valve, AND the symptons were the same as mine. And of course your quick replay's on this forum :-) But also others who identified the unload valve as suspisious. So, two more fordso...

Well, Today I left early from my work and 1 hour later I tested the lift. And they WORK! :clap: :beer: They can lift me but I have no lift arms/links so I can not test it with the woodschipper attatched. The previous owner told my girlfriend he still had some parts so Ill give him a call tomorrow, m...

Hi, Just a update for who is interested... The 3/8 UNF bold came out of the plug, threads and all :cry: But then I took a M10 tap because I did not have a M12 and tapped the thread, took a M10 bold, a 25MM wrench to serve as a bus and to my suprise the plug came loose and I was able to get the valve...

Well Robert, I had the bold and thought, lets give it a try. If it still does not work I can always try the diverter valve. But the bush of the unload valve wont come out :cry: :evil: So now ill take a :beer: or two and tuesday Ill go to the toolshop at my work to build a tool that operates like the...

Why do I keep proving that i am the a..ho.. that I am? Today i thougt of de dealer that does the maintenance of the lawnmower I have, he is always helping me out when I need stuf that is less common in holland, I called him and just boldly asked for a 3/8 UNF bold. Oh yes, i have those he said. So t...

There are some spare parts but new but it will get more and more difficult to get new parts. On the other hand, is it not possible to make some of the parts like the valves if you have a turning machine? Here in holland I can not find 3/8 UNF bolts in small quantities, today I called and searched th...

First of all thanks for your answer ho to get the bush out. Yesterday i was thinking about the slide hamer but i dont have one here. Ill try a bold with a pipe and hopefor the best :-) I dont want to scare you but in multiple posts Brian warns not to use sandpaper on the valve, only polish. ..... So...

Hi, I made a mistake, I did NOT clean the unload valve but thr controll valve. Today I tried to get the unloadvalve out but I could not get it out. I dont have the right tool so I have to make one but does anyone know what tread is inside? A M8 bold is to small, the bolds thad hold the controll valv...

Hi, After a long time I tried to get the lift arms working but still no succes. I checked the unload valve and cleaned it but it still wont work. I tried to get a aux service unit but no luck there so I can not test if thats the problem. Can I take the service unit appart and clean and/or repair the...

Hi,

The lift on my (ASP) super major does not work and almost a year ago Brian told me to switch the Auxillary service unit to see if thats the problem.
Does anyone have a working unit for sale and if so, for how much?

Many thanks in advance,

Rob.
