Jumping out of low drive
Hi guys
Got a 1963 super Major , that when I engage low drive for going down steep hills it always jumps out into neutral after about 50 meters
Any one got any ideas what it could be
When it’s in high drive everything is fine
Thanks in advance

Live drive or no live drive
Hi Guys
Stupid question but how would I know if my 1963 Super Major has live drive or not
Think I might need to replace clutch this winter and need to save up
Thanks

Leaking fuel tank
Hi,
Anybody got any tips for welding a plate on my diesel tank
Got some small pin holes, tried fibreglass but no joy, thinking now of welding a small plate over them, with a mig welder set very low
Any advice would be gratefully received
Thanks
Jim

Re: wiring up an alternator
Thanks for the info Sandy
I’ve sourced a Dynamo and Regulator from Agriline
And will attempt fitting on Saturday
Understand I’ll need to convert back to Positive Earth and about polarising the Dynamo
Once again thanks for all your help and advice on this matter

Correct size towing trailer
Guys
I’m looking for the best type of trailer to move my Super Major around with
Most car trailers are to long
What about a plant trailer
Any body got any suggestions or maybe has something for sale
My towing vehicle is a Ford Ranger 3lt so no issues on towing weights
Thanks
