Woodcutter, thanks for the info.
Found the problem on my tractor. The radiator wasn't fully free. I Cleaned it, now the problem is over.
I am thinking about selling the tractor. I just don't use it enough to keep it.

Re: Power major 6 cylinder conversion
Hello Arno, can you please tell me how you overcame the excess endfloat in the clutch shafts as mine needs to be reduced due to the common thrust face wear they suffer? Mike Hello mike, is it possible that you clarify your question with a photo or a drawing. I don't understand your question excactly.

battery tray /firewall power major
Does anybody have pictures of the set up for the battery tray / firewall of the power major. I'm finished with my paint works and i'm assembling the tractor. In my opinion the battery tray and firewall can only fit in one position, but if I place them this way, the firewall is approx. 2,5cm too high...

Hi Pascal, Good to hear that you found the broken bearings, When I replaced several bearings from the gearbox, I ordered bearings from NSK, they were a lot cheaper than SKF bearings and is also a good quality bearing.
