Hi,
I have tried two clocks with temp senders for power majors and both clocks don’t move when they’re on the tractor.
One never worked and the other failed shortly after fitting.
Why is this? Am I fitting it wrong?

My CNH Istore
Hi everyone, I work for a NH dealer. CNH have released a new parts website in the last few years. I have noticed that the Major manuals are digitalised on there and thought others might benefit from this.

Re: 1959 Power Major | Injector Pump Lever
Hi John,
Timing - I think it might be out?
Removing the pump - just out of interest for future reference in case I can’t get it completely freed up.
Thanks
Will

Re: 1959 Power Major | Injector Pump Lever
Thanks John, I am trying to also make sure the timing is correct. I have moved the flap on the sump to see the flywheel and turned the engine until the lines on the injector pump line up. My serial number of 151 starting would mean I need it to be 23 degrees on the flywheel? At the moment it seams t...

Re: 1959 Power Major | Injector Pump Lever
Hi all,
I have dieseled the rack and removed the governor to find the diaphragm has a big tear in it. So I’ll need a new one of those! The rack low moves with fairly little force by hand.
The governor housing also had some rusty jollop at the bottom so I have cleaned that out.

What normally pushes it back to the left is that the spring in the governor on the right hand side?

Re: 1959 Power Major | Injector Pump Lever
It will move from left to right now with a screwdriver and light pressure. Also the stop lever now pushes the rack over to the right.
Should it stay now or return to either side as it seams to be fair static where ever it is on the rack.

Re: 1959 Power Major | Injector Pump Lever
Thanks John,
When it was last running it was reving up and not settling down unless you jiggled the throttle lever.
After moving the throttle lever up and down the engine revs would settle down
That sounds like the rack might have been sticking maybe?

Hi Sandy,
I have tried pushing the excess fuel and it pops straight back out. It doesn’t stay in at all
Thanks

Since then I have been busy restoring the tractor. I am now within 6 months of finishing and pulled the stop lever on top of the pump expecting it t...

Re: Steering Box Seal 1959 power major
Hi Sandy,
Where would I find what Brian has written on this? I have tried looking. I also see the hydraulic seal in the wiki however I don’t have an original to match against.
So could be a bit of a problem.
Thanks
Will

Re: New front axle spindle bushes
Have now completed the job and would definitely say it is worth getting your hands on a reamer. Luckily for me my workplace had them I could borrow.

Great idea about the freezer!
My work have allowed me to borrow an adjustable reamer so that will be the best way forward!

Re: New front axle spindle bushes
Ok thank you - so I should be able to ream these out with the sand paper method. I can really see any reamers online for 1 1/2 or 38.1mm so I guess the best thing to do is try the sand paper method.

Thanks John,
So I don’t need a special reamer just keep working at it with a round file until the spindle fits!
