Hi

I am restoring a Fordson N and probably a very common fault is that the inside of the little petrol tank is rusty, while I believe it's sound the rust is just flaky and blocks the fuel lines up has anyone used Slosh tank sealer to fix this problem and can recommend this product?

Thanks

I've got an early e1a Major that I've got to fit a mill loader to, plus a trailer tipping pipe and I am in need of some diagrams or pictures as to where to run pipes off and to where, I want to control the loader by a mono block type levers etc I am a little lost as to what to. Any help would be muc...

I am just restoring a Major and need to fit a loader and trailer tipping pipe, reading some of the comments I presume I can take a feed off under the seat on right side as sat on seat? And also including a shut off so the hydraulic arms will work separately, where can I take a trailer tipping pipe o...

Split the major with the oil leak and found a crack in the casting that the camshaft locates into!!!! Not what I was expecting

Got a Major in at the moment with oil leaking from the back end of the sump when the engine is running (coming from the leak hole with the cotter pin in) is it more likely to be the rear crank oil seal? Rather than the sump seal?

I have a Ford 3000 Selecto-speed in for restoration and I need to remove the tank cover which has the lever with 2 pipes going into the gearbox, is just ok to unscrew and remove the whole lot?

Does anyone know who supplies the classic rear tyre pattern as on the picture above?

Been working on a DB900 its had a complete engine rebuild pistons liners etc plus ground crank with new bearings and new oil pump and can only get 25 oil pressure out - is this normal for this model?

The Ford 4000 went back around 3weeks ago here it is leaving

I have an Allis ED40 with one stuck motor - any tricks on how to free it up

at any revs what can be the problem?

On a 4000 should it go out when the engine is running or not until you turn the key switch to off?

Thanks for that it all made sense

Has anyone got a good picture of the back of a 1967 Ford 4000 with an explaination of the terminals - I have the wiring loom connected up on the tractor but the dash is troubling me slighty where exactly the wires go

Is special oil required?

Why were the early metal grills coated in plastic? was it just purely to stop it rusting

Thanks Brian

The ones that wrap round the rear axle to clamp the stabliser chain anchor points - what I want to know are the axles the same on the 4000/5000 as I need some U bolts for this 4000 restoration and they only mention they fit the 5000 model

After many months and a MF135 restoration later I have finally found a Ford 4000 rear wheel, many people have messed me around saying they have one but failing to complete the deal, some simply never replied to an friendly E-Mail asking if they had one, some never rang me back. But one guy on EBay h...

Checked the regulator and its a 22amp - Dynamo has an open end but it hasn't got the availabilty to fit the drive unit so I will get a new dynamo and drive unit - do you think someone has changed this over to 22amp as it a 1967 pre force model?

How do I tell which I have as I might have to buy a new dynamo to run the tractormeter as I understand it runs off that

Why did they do 11 and 22 amp?
