G'day all, can anyone help me with a pair of the triangle type front wheel hub caps fitted to australian fordsons? Post or PM will pay good money or trade

Hank, thats OK mate all good. Interested in the second gauge temp gauge you have im sure i could have a face printed and fitted no worries. All i got with my P6 was a brass pole and hollow shell! so anythings better then that. Ill take what ever oil gauge you find on the wheat belt no worries. Yeah ...

G'day all, Don't want to flog a dead horse, but can anyone help me with either or both gauges for my soon to be completed P6? The gauges don't even have to work! my P6 came with a smiths 2in gauge and a hollow shell of a temp gauge. I have E27N parts I can offer such as a narrow bar grille in good c...

G'day all, I hope the ones who read this understand what I am after, and might be able to shed some light, front axle. For the drag link arm I need to replace the " grease retainer" which is just a course felt ring, and the "grease retainer cap" on both ends of the steering arm. I believe they are d...

G'day, Three years since i brought the tractor i am up to changing out the seal that is causing my fluids to level out in the gearbox and diff. As i've read on here over the years it's a very common problem. Can anyone help me with some pictures or an exploded diagram of exactly what i should be rep...

Brockwood if you would like to sell any of those gearboxes or have a smiths hydraulic unit to spare i'd pay top dollar and i also live in Victoria. It'd help me out heaps!

thanks, E45NP6

Hmmmmm, interesting. I'm looking to replace my P6's hydraulics with an original Smiths single lever unit, as it is fitted with a new majors unit currently. I have the high top gear STD 4.3 ratio. Does that mean i'm going to need to source one from an E27N that also has a STD 4.3 gearbox?

Cleaned up the gearbox/bellhousing area where it is stamped STD 4.3 looking for more numbers, but failed to find any. The gearbox is has two sets of casting numbers on it: F24P on top of the gear lever, and 270 7007B/C on the same side stamped by hand? towards the bottom. Hope this is of some help. ...

G'day, Have the P6 at home now, pulling it apart and sandblasting most parts. will post a few photos as i pull it apart more and see whats good and whats bad. http://s1279.beta.photobucket.com/user/e45np6/media/058.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0#/user/e45np6/media/058.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0&_suid=1352593200169039...

G'day, has anyone from Australia had any luck finding a replacement fuel filter for the Vokes housing model E50F/M154? i pulled it out the other day and was shocked to see the filth that had accumilated in the filter housing, im surprised the tractor even runs with the amount of water in the fuel sy...

G'day,

have sent you a PM about the gauge, look forward to hearing from you!

G'day, I recently purchased a new P6 exhaust manifold brass plate, as the original fitted just never came up looking the way i wanted it too. Brought a reproduction one from a UK company; Vintage Brass Plates. Some of you may have already delt with them before, but if not i strongly recommend contac...

G'day,

I'm after a 2 1/4inch oil pressure gauge to suit the Fordson P6.

gauge does not have to be working, have a few parts ill trade or ill gladly buy it from you.

Thanks, E45NP6

Hello fellow fordson owners, I'm in need of 9/16? BSF bolts for the front axle of the fordson, as well as castle nuts to suit. Also in need of mudguard bolts as well as numerous other BSF and BSW bolts. Has anyone here in Australia had any luck sourcing these nuts and bolts to suit in the past? any ...

Does anyone in Australia have a good set of footplates for an e27n, i need the whole assembly. And i'm also looking for a set of mudguards.

If anyone in Australia can help me post some interest or PM me.

Frank were these pistons you purchased cast alloy or cast iron?
really interested in knowing actually, would be good to have a set spare.

Cast alloy pistons give the engine a different tune, and i like the one my P6 has at the moment.

G'day all, It has not really bothered me up until now, but i really would like to know what year/month my tractor was made. Problem is, the only numbers i can find on the whole thing is the Perkins engine number ( 0440125 ). The brass "high-top" plate has long been removed, and only STD 4.3? i think...

G'day all. If their is anyone in Australia who needs a Left hand side E27N Headlight bracket i have an original one that i will part with. got it on ebay a few weeks ago but only needed the lamp it came with. I'd sell it, but i am after a complete single handle hydraulic unit to suit an E27N. ideall...

G'day to all, I was wondering if anyone here in Australia can help me with my problem. the temperature gauge on my P6 is one of the Australian made gauges, and it has redefined the term " beyond repair ". I'm sure I'm not the only one to have this problem, so has anyone had thier gauge restored in t...

G'day, Time has come to service the P6, i have sourced Ryco oil and fuel filters, and looking at the castrol website i found Castrol CW30. Quote from there website "Primarily recommended for running in naturally aspirated Perkins diesel engines" Has anyone used or are currently useing this oil in th...

Can i ask what size rims you used?

from my measurments Lucas pattern 6 1/2 inch rim should do the job, im also going to purchase a new set of 6 1/2 inch reflectors as well.

E45NP6.

If you can find a set of front wheels from any E27N or E1A major they will fit the spindles you have currently

G'day, the restoration of the tractor is slow, but im paying as much attention to detail as possible. Has anyone out there ever purchased headlight rims from a vintage motorcycle store or similar to fit to the E27N's massive headlights? I'm looking at some Lucas Pattern 6 1/2 inch chrome rims and ne...
