Re: Super Major -62

Hi, are there any torque values for the different screws and bolts? Or is "as tight as possible with normal tools" enough? I found my wheel nuts tight, but not as tight as I thought when I took the old wheels off. There is a german saying "nach fest kommt ab". Translation is difficult, I would say "...

Re: 1963 Super Major Logo colors

Hi all, here is the silver grill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwHbwU0_Qoo :-) And the rest, too. Some parts are missing yet, but for a first start after eight months it was ok. To my surprise oil pressure is at 50psi cold. It's a cheap gauge and may not show the real pressure, but I think that's ...

Re: PTO driven Generator

Hi Dave, power cables in the earth fail here, too. But most of the time the mesh is fine enough to switch over to a different source. So outages are hours, not days. So no real arguments for a generator :-| Next problem is the gas. We get it "out of the wall" and if there's no power for gas pressure...

Re: PTO driven Generator

Hi Dave, nice setup. I live in a small town near big cities. Power outages are rare and short. In Germany cables are digged under ground mostly, so falling trees are not that problem. A generator for me is more a kind of big toy, so if I can get one some days for less money, I'll buy it. Peter (rear...

Re: Super Major right rear bonnet bracket

Exactly these parts are missing. Maybe my parts dealer has it laying around.

Thanks,

Super Major right rear bonnet bracket

Hi, while completing the bonnet with the locks I noticed, that I only have three brackets for the locks. The one on the right side of the battery is missing. In my parts list it has the number E1ADKN-16774 (Bracket R.H. (Diesel)), but there is no picture of it. I have no idea, where it was fixed on ...

Re: 1963 Super Major Logo colors

Hi Pat, so I will go for a silver spray can on monday. I only see orange grills around here, but that does not mean a lot. The guys in the local tractor club also try to tell me, that white rims are correct, because it's a 63. The difference between early 63 and late 63 are very difficult for them. ...

Re: 1963 Super Major Logo colors

Hi Pat, fascinating. I love these old films from the 60s. But it comes to another question: The color of the grille. In this film it looks like white or clear (blank metal). I got new grille from my dealer in white. We thought they were grounded, but maybe it's the right color. He had them in orange...

Re: 1963 Super Major Logo colors

Neustadt-an-der-Weinstrasse that's ca. 70km south from here. I made a joke in my company when our new (2 years) diesel generator had a failure in the injection pump that I can deliver electrical power with my tractor. My boss offered me immediatly a parking place, but our generator has about 600KW,...

Re: 1963 Super Major Logo colors

Hi Adrian, all oil is new, the oil from rear transmission looked like caramel pudding. I think it was the original filling. Maybe it's the reason, that the hydraulics did not work properly anymore and the tractor was parked. The lorry was the least expensive way to get her home. 1200km for 1100 Euro...

Hi, more photos: http://predecke.auge.de/html/traktor3.html Up to now I'm finished with electrics and waiting for the rear wheels. @county654: I know that manual but I think, the real logo was painted not so complicated. The hand in the middle e.g. is orange on mine. I can see no white color, but ma...

1963 Super Major Logo colors

Hi, my name is Peter. I'm living in Germany and got a 1963 Super Major last year as a gift from friends in France. Because you always ask for pictures, here are some from last year's transport: http://predecke.auge.de/html/traktor.html I did a bit repair and a lot of cleaning and painting during the...
