I've got the same problem with mine. The previous owner has driven with the hand brake on. The bits of the plates that have broken off have gone through the PTO gear and broken the casting.

It's rotten and only really being held together with filler

Thanks for the reply. I'm a few months off buying a nose cone. I've still got to see why it's so noises in the back and cure it of jumping out of first gear and then start reassembling.

I'm just rebuilding my 1954 E1a Major. I've rebuilt the engine and will eventually need a nose cone. Where's the best place to buy one from? I also need a new steering wheel. So far I've had my parts from agriline.

Im open to anything

Im looking into putting mirrors onto my E1A because im going to use it to tow my living van. I was just wondering if any one had done this already and where they mounted them. Im open to any suggestions, ideally I want to keep it in keeping with the tractor.

Many thanks Paul

Right iv'e checked the nut with a tap and its deffinately 5/8 unf. But its too small for my steering colum, so any ideas?

These look really good. Just like the originals, done in the true spirit of restoration make do and mend! They are a real credit to you.

Thanks for the replys.

The one that I bought from agriline doesnt fit the steering colum on my 1954 E1A. So im going to bore it out and re tap it.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what size the nut is that holds the steering wheel on. My E1A is missing the nut so im going to have to replace it and the agriline one that ive bought seems to be too small.

Hope someone can help
