Re: Fordson starter weights

Hi Sandy, yeah that’s what I meant, the inner weight which bolts to the wheel, I have heard it called in both terms, it has the x5 bolt holes, sorry for any confusion to anyone, hopefully someone has a pair that they don’t require anymore
Cheers Chas

Re: Changing drag link pin on Fordson power steering

Thank you again for that, I’ll make sure that I blow it out with the airline to remove any surf & wash it thoroughly with WD40 and then let it dry, before greasing & new boot and clips…..
Cheers guys, stay safe and keep well
