Re: Topping with the 1960 Power Major
Leeroy, The Dairy came with the new wife. It has been in her family since 1951. I can't milk cows myself so if the barn is refilled with cows that will be up to the younger generation. I suffer from PsA and Tick born Babisiosis/ Lymes . I can't get up and down to do it. The younger generation has kn...

Re: Topping with the 1960 Power Major
Leeroy. He had a raised power takeoff on the tractor I got the Belt pulley off of. This time I saw that was gone. You have things you want you really need to spend the time to just go. Every year these things get older, and parts a little harder to find. It is well worth the trip just to look around...

Re: Topping with the 1960 Power Major
OK, Thank you. We do need to get this one tied down better and on solid ground. Up higher is OK as there would be more room to make a pile.

Re: Topping with the 1960 Power Major
I have a good belt in the barn. The adjusting shafts the hand wheels attach to were bent and the threads were poor so I replaced them with new. It is ready to run but I do need to move it on the dirt and stake it down. I tried that green and yellow thing but the power is too unsteady and spins it to...

Re: Topping with the 1960 Power Major
Yes. It has been a while. The Power Major started spitting antifreeze out of the top of the radiator a few years ago and I pulled the head and found the gasket had failed. Cleaned it up, checked everything, and replaced it with a good quality gasket and seals. It runs better than ever now. It starte...

Yeah. On the photos I looked around the web to try to find a free site to post the photos here. I posted those though google photos but they did not seem to stick even though I have a link. Photo bucket is a site I used in the past but now they want a monthly fee. The only place I used it was here. ...

Topping with the 1960 Power Major
Dandy Dave here. I have not been here in a while. I've been topping some fields here with the 1960 Power Major and she still runs like a top. Got Married in June. Second time for both of us and settled on a 311 Acer farm here in the states. That equels about 126 Hectares. The farm was a Dariy until ...

Re: fuel line won't bleed
My old power major drove me nuts with a similar problem several years ago. I would be driving it, usually down the highway between properties, to do topping, and it would quit. I'd get off. Tickle the pump lever and it would start and run again. Well, one day while sitting in the shed it refused to ...

Glad to hear. Get it to move all the way around and then pull the pistons and check the rings in the cylinder bore for wear.

Re: 1964 Ford 4000 driving me nuts..
Yes. I have the valve cover off of it and have started it and don't see any leaks in any of the blead off lines. And yes. This is the 4 Cylinder American version that was only built for a few years. Dandy Dave!

1964 Ford 4000 driving me nuts..
Been helping a buddy with a 1964 Ford 4000. It is a 4 cylinder model built between 1962 and 1965. Leaking fuel into to the oil pan. What I have done. Got a rebuilt injection pump. Had to take it back as it had some striped screws in the timing mark cover. Repaired or replaced as necessary. Brought i...
