Hi Everybody, This has become a very interesting thread. (1) Timo...Have a look underneath the Stub Axle. If it is a genuine part, the Part No. will be cast in. Stub Axle R.H. Part No. E1ADKN-3105. Stub Axle L.H. Part No. E1ADKN-3106. (2) Dave...Where you are looking at the word 'EnFo' is part of th...

Emiel, Frank & David, I understand David Monton's side of the story, but can he tell us what year Barreiros had their initial talks with Perkins, and what year did they produce their copy of the P6. Did they buy in Fuel Injection Systems from CAV or build them under Licence. The same goes for the El...

David, I have a Sales Brochure on the Super 55 Estrecho, which is a Vineyard Model (very narrow) and a Brochure on the Super 55. The only other information I have is:- Ebro 44 44HP @ 1600 RPM 1959-64 Ebro 48 48HP @ 1800 RPM 1964-69 Super Ebro 53HP @ 1600 RPM 1961-64 Ebro Super 55 55HP @ 1800 RPM 196...

Hi All,

The 'Live' decal carried Part No. E1ADDN 763 and was used from October 1960 till November 1962. It was also used on the Dexta.

Hi All,

It has drum brakes fitted, so it is not an Ebro Super 55. However, there was more than one model Ebro and I believe this is a Ebro based on the 42 horse power New Major.

Hi Miles,

Correct globes for the E27N are 12 volt 36/36. For the New Major 36/24.

Roadless63,

The Super Major had a triangular shaped decal at the rear of the bonnet with the word 'LIVE'. It was colored either red or orange. This disappeared when the New Performance Super Major arrived as it had a Fordson decal in approx. the same position.

Hi Everybody,

Without getting too involved in your thread, I can advise you that the last of the Dexta/Super Dexta was Engine No. 928248 (Domestic) and 928247 (Export). These numbers are quoted in the Dealers Parts Book. Supplement #13. Reprinted February 1965.

Hi All, The Brockhouse Torque Converter was available in the Super Major, Industrial or Agricultural tractor, from early 1962. It was very expensive. When the basic tractor on 15x30 rears cost AU1485 Pounds, the Brockhouse Torque Converter cost a further AU581 Pound. There were photos on the old sit...

David, Some years ago we used to correspond with a young lad in the UK and I believe he had one of these tractors. Although at that stage it wasn't painted Light Blue. He referred to it as an 'transitional model'. I think he and his father sold their collection, as it is quite some years since I've ...

Stevo & Brian,

What about our favorite little tractor. The Fordson Dexta could be bought with Power Adjusted Rear Wheels.

Steve, The Temperature Gauge for the Fordson has a black background (not white) and, of course, the IH logo is not there. The rest of the dial face is quite accurate. The Temp Gauge for our tractors was made by a company called Flexdrive of Moonee Ponds, Melbourne. They made gauges under licence to ...

Stevo, The correct size for a 6 volt P6 battery is:- Length 360mm. Width 121mm. Height 318mm. 6 Volt 21 Plate 174 Amps. Both Batteries weren't the same, there was a Left Hand & Right Hand battery. The reason given for the odd shape, is that they were originally submarine batteries. Obviously after W...

Hi Frank, The weights given in the County Instruction Book are basically the same as the previous answer. 7175lbs for the Kero, and 8180lbs for the Diesel. Any variation will be the width of the Grouser Plates. (3 different widths available). If you have to hire a truck to carry it, you really need ...

Hi Pascal,
The grey wheeled Super Major produced 47HP at the PTO at 1700RPM, and were rated at 53.7BHP (also at 1700RPM).

Hi Guys, The earth wire for the headlights attaches to the headlight globe socket (not the parking light). The earth wire is 39" long and attaches to the rear hole in the radiator top tank. This wire is about 10" or so longer, as it has further to travel. Regards the battery earth lead. Yes, the ori...

Super 6,

The Left Hand Steering Arm with the triangular web is for tractors that were factory fitted with Power Steering. It carried the Part No. E1ADKN 3133C.

Hi Guys, Thought I had better check in and let you know that we are okay. It has been a terrible few days down here in Victoria. The bushfires caused considerable damage as it roared into the city of Bendigo, burning 57 houses and 115 other buildings (shed,etc) to the ground. Also, damaging many oth...

David, 1) The rectangular box arrived in February/March of 1949. 2) The entire Horn is blue, although they started off Black at the manufacturers. (Lucas or Clear Hooter). 3) The Triangular Bracket is Black. 4) Steering Wheel. There were at least 6 different types of wheel used on the E27N. Three of...

David, You haven't told us which Box is on your tractor. Is it, the long rectangular one or the kidney dish type. If it is the long rectangular box it was finished in black gloss, inside and out. Light switch is black. Starter switch is also black. New horn buttons are still available on ebay. Cloth...

TK,

I neglected to tell you that there are also Two Pilot Bolts between the Engine and Front Transmission. They are in line with the top holes of the mid-mounted implement pads.

Message for Aussie Frank.

Frank,

When I had my new Loom made, I retained the old one, so if you need to borrow one let me know.

If the tractor is fitted with lights and generator there are two looms involved.

TK,

Best of luck fitting your new seals.

Most important is to use the two marked pilot bolts when you refit the Front Trans to the Rear Trans.

Mervyn, The photos supplied give us a few clues to the year of this tractor. Firstly. It is fitted with the four vertical position drawbar and this arrived in January 1947. Secondly. The remains of the electrics show the 'kidney dish' electrical box and this was phased out in February/March 1949. So...

Kev, The 510E shows in the August 1963 Price List as 100BHP at 2500RPM for the replacement or conversion of truck engines ONLY. It was priced at 648 POUND AUS. I would have thought the truck Flywheel would have been quite abit lighter than the tractor version. Also, for interest sake, the 590E shows...
