Testing solenoid

Hello to everyone. I have not posted in a while. I have a 59 PM and cannot find my previous post regarding how to run the wire to see if my solenoid is bad. I am thinking one wire from positive side of battery. It is not the original push button type. Thanks for any help and advice. Good luck on you...

Posting Pics

Hello to everyone, hope all is well. Do you still have to submit your pictures through another site? I remember using a site but seems they got to where they were not free. Can you posts pics that have gone through Face Book? I do not remember the site I used before. Thanks everyone.

The oil drains from transmission to rear end like many out there, I pump the oil back into trans from rear end. I do not do a lot of work with her, the o...

Re: Oil Filter

Thanks everyone. My PM, is a Nov., 1959. Pretty sure it is the shorter filter that I need. You take the oil canister off by loosen nut on top. Thanks again for the advice.

Thanks everyone. As it was getting dark last night I did put a meter on the switch and found the power coming in. Based on diagram I should have a yellow wire coming off of switch that makes the connection to start. Good luck to all on your projects.

Re: Fordson Power Major- Live Drive?

On my PM, dual clutch. Lever up on high. Look up a previous post by Brian, hope you are well, regarding how a live drive can cause great damage to a tractor. If you have it running. as you release clutch the pto will start up first before the transmission to running gears starts. Good luck.
