The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

The numbers V007004P and V007003P have been stamped on the tractor by the Victorian Police. The tractor has been taken to a Police Station for a Registration and Victoria Police would never accept the fact that there was no such thing as a Chassis Number on the Fordson, so gave it one. They obviousl...

Compression:- 380 to 450 lbs. sq. in. Variation not more than 15 lbs. sq. in. Compression of 350 is satisfactory providing variation is within range.

Kav,

From the P6 right through, the RED WHEELS are painted MOORE ROADMASTER RED.

Pav,

Is this the outlet on your tractor? If so, it was only fitted to Australian tractors. The pair of ears at the top were to secure the Spark Arrestor. It was done to meet the Country Fire Authority Act.

Pat, The Part No. for the Ford paint, listed in an Australian Parts Supplement Book, is - Tractor Blue. Part No. DKN19503C 1958-1964. Tractor Grey, Part No. AE1ADDN 19503C 1962-1964. (The letter 'C' only designates it was sold in a Half Gallon container. The letter 'B' is a Quart tin. Letter 'A' a P...

Robert, To answer your question, all E27N's in Australia had the standard size steering wheel (there were 9000 E27N's sold in Australia in 1949). However, there were six variations of the steering wheel between 1945 and 1954. The price I quoted just reflected the difference of the Model parts. When ...

Robert, I have been awhile chasing this up, but I have gone through 700 odd pages of Part Numbers, Supersession Lists and Parts & Accessories Catalogues. There is nothing mentioned of an aluminium steering wheel for the New Major in any of the publications. The only interesting bit to show, was that...

James,

The Plate 3R 9-63. This tells us your tractor was assembled at Coburg (Melbourne) in the 9th Month 1963.

Nick,
The aluminium steering wheel was very common on the E27N but were not fitted to the New Major. If you measure the diameter it will probably be 17 inches, whereas the New Major had an 18 inch diameter steering wheel.

Scoobyjim, Perkins P6 Engines that were designed to rev at up to 1500rpm were fitted with cast iron pistons. Engines that revved above that were fitted with light alloy pistons. There were no E27N's originally fitted with Alloy pistons. However, most Dealers that completely rebuilt a P6 replaced the...

Dandy Dave,
The Model F was produced in Cork Ireland between 1919 and 1922. A total of 7,597 tractors were built in this time. I have the Engine Numbers, if anyone is interested.
Of interest, Ford traded as 'Henry Ford & Son. Cork. Ireland' rather than the 'Ford Motor Company of Ireland'.

Hank,

By your description you may have part of the ACR Kit. (Automatic Clutch Release). If you can post some photos of what you have, I will be able to tell you what you have and what is missing.

Robert, The CAV 7019-68 were old stock from a Bus Company and have been hard to get in AUstralia for some time, although I did see some on UK ebay just recently. Now, if you cleaned and reused yours, it means the metal cage is all right. Ask your wife to go to a Craft SHop and buy some unbleached ca...

Kev,

The Fuel Filter Elements are as I quoted previously, and the Oil Filter Element will be a Fram CH810PL.

If you have trouble getting the Fram Filter, then a Fleetguard LF599 is okay to use. But, you must have it in the wire cage.

Kev, The Filters for your P6 are as follows:- Primary Element CAV 7019-68. Secondary Element MAHL KX44. This element suits the BFA11 housing. If the Secondary Housing is marked BFA5 use a Fleetguard FF146. The Housings will be stamped, you may need to clean the tops with a wire brush to get numbers....

Toota,

The Oil Filter is a Fleetguard LF599.
The Primary Filter is a Ryco R202V.
The Secondary Filter is a Ryco 2047P.
Primary Air Cleaner is a Micro WA117.

Will send you a PM regarding the decals.

Toota, If you can give me some information, I might be able to help you. Oil Filter - when you remove the bowl does it still have a brass cage inside the bowl (filter is inside the cage). It should have Vokes on the head piece. Primary Fuel Filter - is it Vokes or CAV? Secondary Fuel Filter - will b...

Jakob,

Maybe your tractor was fitted with a grip similar to the ones shown here on an Australian brochure for the Anders Grips.

Hi, There is such a thing as a Service Manual/Repair Manual for the E27N. Front Cover is shown here. Also, the early Instruction Books had a Repair Section in the back section of the book.

Hi All, I have found the following among some Service Letters, and thought it maybe of some help to members. http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp108/BarryE27N/IMG_0001_zps7229c05a.jpg http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp108/BarryE27N/IMG_0002_zps816c74c5.jpg http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp10...

Hi All,
In the Service Letters (circa 1957) you are advised to use 'up to three gaskets' to stop the pulley from free wheeling.

Hi, The 'Dirty Work' booklet was included in the Tar Paper envelope which came in the Tool Box of Fordson Tractors. As you will see from the photo below, the envelope also included Instruction and Parts Books. The Thames Trader Truck carried a little booklet similiar to 'Dirty Work', and it was call...
