The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Thanks for the reply. Guess Ill check into repairing it, or looking at some other cylinders and see if i can fit something up.

Im not sure the loader name off hand. My father told me once but I cant recall. The power steering does make a difference for sure! Im actually going to take the FEL off of my tractor as I have a backhoe and the loader on the fordson doesnt get used at all. I noticed your from Lloyd. There is a guy ...

Thanks for the replies guys, sorry I didnt get back in here earlier, I went away backwoods camping for a 10 days, it was awesome to not have cell service or internet lol. Pics below, best i can do without taking it off which I dont quite want to do yet, just to take pics. If they suck let me know an...

Hey guys and gals, I have a 61 super major, with power steering. The cylinder had been leaking, so I brought it in for repair. They charged me 175 bucks to "fix" it, and it still leaks. They replaced a kit in it, but what they didnt do is change the seals on the shaft, you know the ones that a perso...

Im not sure whats wrong with it, but its for sale for CHEAP and says its for parts. If the parts would have fit, i would have no problem parting this one out! (you guys hate me now dont ya?:D) Unfortunately, I dont really need a complete project as i have a few others that are much much more rare th...

Thanks for the replies guys, I just wanted to post a picture I have of it, and again wanted to triple check that pieces from this tractor (particularly the 3 point hitch stuff) wont (or more hopefully will!) work for my tractor! http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo351/preppypyro/IMG_4192.jpg Thanks...

Hey guys n gals, do any of you know if the three point hitch arms from a power major (or any other model of Fordson) would fit on a 1961 super major?

I have a chance to buy a complete tractor for parts, but I believe it to be a power major, and I have a super major.

I just wanted to update again :D (I know its kinda annoying but I like to mention if a problem has been solved!) My live pto, has been working as of late. I dont know why other then maybe I have just used it a few times now, and have gotten it back in its "groove" or working properly. Seems my main ...

I just wanted to update this thread. My problem for the poor starting, was a few connections that needed new wires, and connectors. I kinda left it at that, and I think everything is gonna work ok again, I tested the lights and horn and everything works as it did before, so I am thinking maybe someo...

Thanks for the reply.

One quick question, what is a dynamo? Im not familiar with the term. (also a location would be great!)

Thanks for the reply. The reason why I thought I possibley put the battery in backwards, is when I got the tractor, it was hooked up with the ground to the positive terminal. It didnt turn over that way, so I switched it to the "proper" way (in my head it was the proper way) and it worked. I dont re...

Hey guys n gals. I have been having a few problems with my starter cranking the engine over very slowly. I have a fully charged battery, and the tractor starts with a pull very very easy. Now I kinda started looking into it last night, and I was reading these tractors had a positive ground. When I r...

Hey guys I was wondering if any of you out there might be able to provide me with a few pictures. Basically I am working on the three point hitch controls that are in front and underneath the seat, and it seems like mine is "hacked" up a little. I have seen there are different types and kinds of con...

Just wanted to update. I adjusted my clutch pedal, and at first nothing changed. I then engaged the pto lever, started the tractor, and it started to work fine! The "live" pto still isnt live though, as in whenever I step on the clutch with the pto engaged, it quits turning, so I will have to look i...

Thanks again for the reply. I will do a little searching and looking to find all the ports and pieces that you described for me (which was an awesome description!) The three point hitch hasnt been used for years, and the arms have been long gone, probably out in this old farmyard, but I cannot find ...

I am from Saskatoon, a small farm about 20 minutes out of saskatoon! I know people from your area, a Ford guy named Dave, a guy I used to work with that is really into Harley's, and ive dated a few women in my younger days from Brandon, neat! Anyways heres the pictures as promised. They are big, but...

Thanks for the replies guys. Im just at work right now, and will for sure post some pictures so you guys can see what/where i am talking about. That would be awesome if I could figure out how to hook the back hydraulics to the tractor, which was my goal. Where abouts are you from in Manitoba Robert?

Hey guys n gals, I have a 1962? (someone can verify that with this serial number perhaps as well... 1585794 found on the engine above the injector pump) Super Major, and I am working on getting the rear hydraulics working. It currently has a hydraulic pump driven off the front of the engine and it j...

Thanks again for the reply. I will update this when I can. My spouse was driving it yesterday discing up our yard, and I dont know what she did, but she ending up blowing the water pump on it! As soon as I get a different water pump installed I will report back if adjusting the clutch free play help...

Thanks very much for the reply. The tractor has the words "live PTO" on the shift pattern plate, and yes the high range is up, and not down. I did check for the pin in the clutch, and there is no pin, I didnt check the movement on the clutch though, and will adjust that to the 1/2 inch. I assume tha...

Hey there guys n gals. I recently got my fordson super major up and running after it has been sitting for 4-5 years. I dont know when some of the components on the tractor were last used, besides the front end loader. Anyways, I am having a problem engaging my pto lever when I step on the clutch. I ...

Thanks guys. My user name... when my friends and I first started playing on the internet, we went into chat rooms. One of my real life nicknames was preppy ( because I was into sports in high school) and my buddies real life nickname was pyro (he actually was a pyro, burnt his own car to the ground,...

Hey guys and gals. I recently got a 60's Fordson super major given to me, that hasnt been ran in a few years. I had towed the tractor home with my f250, and immediately liked the tractor. I noticed right away the live pto, and the diff lock features. The bad is the plungers in the injector pump were...
