Re: FSM Nose Badge Colour Scheme
I got a new badge and it is slightly different to the original. Is it just the new ones are different or are there different versions of the original? Things like leaf thickness and corn husk shape. Or am I just too much of a perfectionist?

Re: Front wheels
Thanks, have got them off. I was worried about using too much brute force on the caps. Cleaned them, painted wheel but need new tyres and tubes, my tyres are different sizes but seem to be 6.00 19s? does that sound right?

Re: Front wheels
So it might be a hub cap then a nut with cotter pin? But does the cap unscrew or pop off? I can’t move it at the moment.

Front wheels
Hi
Just about to remove front wheels to recondition. Do I just support and undo the large nut or is the nut just a housing? Thanks.

Thank you, I had seen those holes but thought the clearance looked tight and was worried about shorting, will have to make sure well insulated......

Re: New user, new project
Getting some new front tires and finishing painting axels. Then new photos before replacing bonnet. Quick question. Can’t seem to find the original location to secure starter solenoid. Can I have a few pics of where you guys have yours in relation to air filter and fuel tank. Thanks.

Re: Major air filter
Block number 1309900. So mk1. That’s why having trouble finding one then.

This is different to what I removed and might fit, there doesn't seem to be a breather hole....

Re: New user, new project
Now got the injectors sorted. It starts easily. Can carry on with restoring the water and electric system.

Injector issue
Getting to the point to try to test my major. First run for 10 years. Bleeding fuel system. Just can’t get fuel out of cylinder 3 injector. Is there any easy way to clean injector pump or do I have to strip the whole thing?

Sump filter gasket wanted
I have a mid 1954 fordson major. I have already found that my fan belt and fuel filter are different sizes to most fordson part dealers as fordson seem to have changed parts at the end of 1954 and these newer parts are the ones stocked. Again I have bought a gasket for the sump filter and it is too ...
