the old thing had a case of "lets burb som coolant out"(when it was time to work :evil: ) so it was time to pull the top and see hows things,also since it was very Smokey and a bit uneven sounding on cold stating I expected to see sloppy jugs and worn sleeves.So far all i have is the headgasket with...

the engine is IS a replacement,the meter had failed at 8+K hours so the old unit probley gave up!!

Hi There Having pulled the head on the NP motor(1968) in my super for replacement of leakey headgasket,I wondered if the pistons could be the originals.There seems to be no markings on their crowns apart from an "arrow-head" pointing toward the front/timing end of the motor. The liners dont seem to ...

Hywel I am also interested in keeping her as original as posible but the thing is the engine has been replaced with a new perf.unit which is not so "original" for a 61 super i think. My plan is to retro-fit her with an early super engine that i have which has a mechanical governer which i am keen on...

Hello,
I am going to start looking for a "donor" for my super`-vacume conversion,and it would therefore be a great help if someone could help me with the serial number of the right pump for it.

well I got those rusted up links freed up today,me and oxy-acetelene ha ha.So I am about ready to put the lid back on excpt I wonder why there seems to be no way to lubricate the cross-shaft bearings?? Should i put in a couple of grease nipples,the boys at Dagenham seem to have forgot them??

Just found the filter on histoparts !

hello
Just got the lift off today to find that 2 controlarm links had seized solid with rust!! cause of lift problem.
while I am in there should i service the returnfilter.and is it possible to source a new one.
perhaps i could do without it ???

Hi Mathias
found these marks on gearbox left side, D17F and T2. And under seat, D2 and i think 501.
How much would an industrial engine differ from its agricultural relative ? are industrial units less desirable?
Thanks for your help.

Hi If someone could help me determine what the basic id of this machine is i give you what I know about it. -colours,badges and lift are all first gen Super, -Engine looks like a new perf (FL head) # S672738,minimec pump, -Gearbox marked EIADKN 7222,non live drive, -Toolbox carries plate marked "eng...

Fuel not duel !!

Perhaps the primer pump Has leaked duel Into the crankcase?

Well now she`s home now my super and I have a good gut feeling about her :D There is an issue whith the lift though,the lift handle can only move about 1 inch or so upwards from bottom of the quadrant.This causes the liftarms to climb to max raised posistion,if I let go af the handle it pops back do...

Hi Charlie With 6 majors you should know the difference! From what i have seen i would think the vacume tractors regulator is much the same as used on diesel car and light trucks of the same period whilst the minimec looks more like something used on stationary engines like power-generators and othe...

Hello all, Having been off the forum a couple years and having just read Brians post "joining in discussions" and thinking (he could have been thinking of me!) ….here goes! I am Danish and live in Denmark which is a small country in Scandinavia,now aged 63.I work as "watch engineer" on a powerstatio...

I agree,vacume is THE governor for a major.could a convert my minimec-super to vacume or would it require an engine-swap?

Greetings all
Anybody know what is different about them in everyday use,which would the members of the board prefer on their tractor?

Live or not is ok with me as long as it works!
Wot about meck vs vacume governers, are they differet to drive and work with ? any idears on why vacume was ditched ,which is preferable?

Greetings all! I was looking over an orange wheeled super the other day and was surprised to find that it was non live-drive although it had the super lift rear end.Is it possible that supers were sold in this specification as new or is it a "mix-major" . High range was down /low up for the range le...

Thanks for info MR E
Now my Super is ready for duty again.managed to find new drive plate near home .And still a "live drive"( but only just !-about 3.5 mm play between drive and pto buttons!due i think to wear in various parts of the antique clutch!

Hi folks! Not so happy new year :cry: The local parts supplyer (here in Denmark) informes me that he can no longer source replacement discs for 2-plate clutches,only singles are still available! so its down to cannabalisem then here in Denmark or what? And on top of this the engine (orange wheel sup...
