Yeah, my pitman arm has been modified as well, It is a Robin Loader for sure. Mine is a little different as it has been modified with dual dump cylinders instead of the single center dump cylinder.

I see that you have the Robin loader just like my Major. Does your tractor have power steering? if so, I would like a few pictures of how it is hooked up.

Thanks, Tom

Craig, I have the same issue with mine, what it is, it the moisture in the rear end oil, solidifying and plugging up the rear pump filter. What I have done to combat that, is put a oil pan heater mat on the rear end to heat up the oil before I start working the tractor. One thing to do before hand a...

I get a few parts from Moodys still, if they can get it.

I didn't realize that Donald passed away, that is sad indeed

Ok, just found the article about what just happened, very, very sad indeed. Who would have thought.

Figured it out myself, it's a 5/16 - 24 thread

Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night (depending on where you are when you read this. I was wondering if anyone knows the thread pitch of the port on the rear of the cylinder head where the line threads in for the excess fuel coming from the injectors? My port is stripped out and would like to helicoil th...

You can buy heaters that stick on the oil pan, to heat the oil and the block, that should help

Give Donald a call at British Tractor Wreckers in Unity Sk, he wrecks a bunch of majors, so he should be able to get what you are looking for

Here is the dual DAR that I have on my Super Major, and the 3 point hitch works fine

Robert should know this being in Canada, but being a Journeyman means 4 years of schooling (2 months in class then 10 months in the field working in a shop). Then writing a final called the inter-provincial which spans all 4 years, and all provinces (I took my apprenticeship in the province of Alber...

Cyl #4, I put a rag over top of the crank to scrape the block sealer from inside the block, so what you are seeing there is all the block sealer being scraped out onto the rag.

This tractor will get a restore soon.

Alright, time for a bunch of pictures.... got the sleeves out tonight, was unable to get a puller, so I used a solid chunk of steel, pressed on it with a 2x4 and my floor jack, and pressed the sleeves out from the bottom (probably not the best way to do it, but it worked in the end) The o-ring lands...

2 more things, It looks like the crank was reworked at one point, as it has .020 over markings on it, I will know more when I take the con rods off. Also, going the rebuild route, being that this tractor is used mainly as a loader tractor, also the only 3 point equipment that I own is a 5' Rough Cut...

Thanks for the advice there Robert and Adrian, I have taken the head off last night, and will be pulling the liners tonight. I am a Journeyman mechanic by trade, and being Ford diesel automotive certified so yes, I do know the importance of a good engine rebuild. I have messaged agriline to get a co...

I have a 62 super Major, by the engine serial number, so I'm guessing that would be one at the top, and one at the bottom. As for a rebuild kit, I do not have $350.00 plus shipping (probably $100) to get it shipped over here right now. I will rebuild the engine eventually, but I need to get this sea...

I will be ordering o-rings from New Holland, the question of the day is, the block does it take one or 2 o-rings to seal the top of the liner?

Alright, finally got around to tearing this tractor apart, had a bit of fun removing one of the bolts that hold the A frame to the axle, it was seized in there. http://www.albertashoclub.ca/ford/fordson33.jpg A little bit of gunk down inside the oil pan. http://www.albertashoclub.ca/ford/fordson34.j...

If the engine is a 4D engine, then it looks like this filter housing might fit

http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/engi ... ord-LCM193

is there an oil filter housing that will bolt to the Major engine, to allow spin on filters?

Hello again, I'm back with a few questions. I'm in the process of getting 2 new tires installed on my major (to the tune of $2000..... ouch with Calcium installed in the tubes), that should happen on Tuesday, getting some Samson MaxiTrac R1's installed. After that, after having the Major down all su...

What kind of loader do you have on your Major?

I"m looking for a power steering setup for mine, as it's a PITA to turn with the bucket loaded.

From the front of the engine, 1,2,3 and 4

bump, does the tractor need to be split to do this gasket? or can it be done with it together, also what seals the rear of the sump?

I have to change the sump gaskets on my super major, is there any tips or tricks that I should know when changing them?
