My fuel tank has a large dented area bashed into it in the same place. When I got the Tractor it had a Stromberg Carb on it which would've hit the fuel tank if not for the dent. I think they put the Stromberg on to get more revs out of the old tractor. I bashed most of the dent out with a piece of t...

Thanks a heap for the information Cal. It certainly gives me a place to start.

Great job Cal, got any photos of the WICO?

I've got a spare RF4, I'd love to know how to test it and rebuild it if it needed. Any tips you can give me? Never done anything like this before but hey you've gotta start somewhere.

Chris

Darren, sent you a email.

Chris

Definitely carb related.

Hi everyone, currently on ebay Australia there is an E27N which has a throttle control rod which goes forward right up to the side of the radiator. This throttle control appears to be made from about 1/4" rod with a loop for a handle. Can anyone shed a bit more info on this rod for me. What was it p...

Hi Guys Onto the front wheels now. Have just noticed the E27N has two different front wheels... Front Left (notice the 19I stamped on this wheel) http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt144/chrisandliso/DSC00641.jpg Front Right http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt144/chrisandliso/DSC00643.jpg The left...

Hi, just wondering if the E27N king pin bushes are common to any of the later model Fordsons?
Thanks,
Chris

Looks good CalGG,
Would you be able to upload a nice close up photo of those front tyres? Would love to know the brand, I reckon they the goods on the major.
Haven't done much to Henry (my '49 Major) for a couple of months but have it jacked up at the moment to put new rubber on the fronts.

Well I think I may have broken it... The top meter part turned on the thread rather than the thread screwing out of the radiator. There is a nut on the threaded section between the meter and the radiator, I thought maybe I could screw it out with this butting against the meter but she's lockef in th...

Thanks for that Frank, I was starting to think there must've been a nut and split washer inside...

Hi, would someone be able to tell me how to remove the calormeter from the E27N? It's the Willmot Beeden type.
Does it simply screw out? I cah twist it a tiny bit left to right but it won't budge...
Thanks guys?

Hi All I have a few Fordson bits and pieces i wish to sell... Alloy Governor Housing including linkage arms, conduit/pipe for starter motor, a couple of throttle control rods, a couple of the plates which the throttle rods go up to ("serrated teeth" end), crank handle, top fuel tank hold down strap....

After reading this post I thought I'd send them an emial enquiry as I wanted to purchase FIVE brass plates.
Guess what... No reply at all
Bit of a shame really, was looking forward to buying them...

Thanks Barry,
Much appreciated. Didn't know they had high and low beam.

Hi, I am up to starting the wiring on the e27n and am just wondering what exactly the light swich does (other than turn the lights on)... The switch I am enquiring about is the one on the dash box wich has the lever pointing down. I'd imagine if you flick it one way it will turn on the lights but wh...

Mine are 28's as well. I noticed they are very similar to Aussie Franks 51 but the "handle things" are a different shape. By the way, what are those handle things for? Are they just to hold the wheel to put it on and off or is there another use for them? I believe my tractor was sold new local here ...

I've noticed there are a couple of different style of rear wheels on the Australian Majors http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt144/chrisandliso/Fordsonwheel2.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt144/chrisandliso/Fordsonwheel1.jpg Does the different style of wheel indicate different year models?...

Hi, recently I have been adjusting the main bearings on the E27N by removing shims. My question is when I remove shims the motor is very hard to get to turn using the crank handle BUT once it gets spinning you can easily keep it turning using one hand only. It's just the initial getting it to move w...
