The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Hello everyone, I have taken a picture of a few gearboxes from various models, these cover most of the Fordson range, but some differing ratios were used in some models. http://i42.tinypic.com/sqo4f9.jpg Top is N model, left is single clutch New Major & Power Major and right is E27 N set up for Malc...

Hi all, so i have a new major with just the rear linkage and the trailer hydraulics, i have fitted a rear forklift on the link arms, all i need is flow and return for the forklift as it has its own control valve, i have made an a frame to stop the link arms lifting so I can use the forklift, it all...

Hello, With my 6cyl conversion I will be stepping up a size with the pipe as I seem to recall the tube nut size also suits the larger pipe, I suspect that the pipe was not Ideally suited originally and were a bit undersized in the first place, if you get the largest outside diameter olive available ...

Hello all,
I have lined up some front axles for the veiwers.

Thank you Frank,
I will do some more digging, to see what I can find.

Hello Brockwood, The "N" models had a PTO that takes it drive from the side, where the rectangle cover plate is located, a shaft runs down the right side of the gearbox with a support bracket attatched to the rear axle tube with longer bolts. This drive unit may have been similar to the later E 27 N...

Can anyone tell me where to get the correct paint colour.... Thanks Andrew Helo Andrew, I am also in Country WA and depending where you are, you may be able to get siome paint mixed, the original colour may have been Empire Blue if I recall correctly. Have you tried to do a search of this site as t...

Hello all, I have come across a few factory Fordson N & E 27 N engines and wonder if engine numbers always give the year of the tractor? The factory recon engines I have are; 778778 ( 1932 ) T 19166 R ( rebuilt when ? ) number on gearbox flange Block marking N 6015A ( January ?) 823037 ( 1937 ) part...

Thank you for the pictures, your apprasial of the type I have on my 1937 grader is correct and the parts books obviously allow for some changes which may be internal or other minor ones. I have a friend who appears to have two 1941 tractors one is engine 889930 and N6015 A on the side of the block, ...

Hello all, I am trying to work out the many different air filters fitted to the "N" model Fordsons. As far as I can determine by the parts books there were about 4 different air cleaners, the "A" type water washer which started with the F model in 1917 & changed somehow in 1927 on to the N in 1937 ,...

Hello Mike here again, I have sorted out the exhaust for my 6cyl conversion, see the pictures. http://i44.tinypic.com/3583pls.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/160wtwm.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/1zpr1ih.jpg I purchased a couple of heavy weld in bends, and used the original Thames Trader flange and a piece ...

Hi don’t know how right it is but I believe the top linkage drive on a e 27 was derived from the side mount on a n iv just be out in the shed and had a look and a rough measure up and the shape and stud Patten seam to be right I was looking at a 44 n and a e27 hightop which is different to a standa...

Hello,
I am looking for a pair of lift arms for my E27N as the tractor I purchased has no lift arms.
These lift arms have a smaller square hole than the new major.
Hope some Aussie can help,

Mike

Hello,
I was wondering how hard it is to get a N model PTO, the type that is driven from the right side of the gearbox and is not centrally mounted?

Mike

Hi Mike, Can you post a photo? I have a spare set of Malcom Moore solid cast wheels to suit an E27N, but I don't know if they would fit the Model N or match your wheels. My E27N parts list does list the wheel bearings as Model N part numbers so they might fit if the axle length on the spindle was t...

Hello, can anyone tell me if the front wheels on my N model grader are the right ones, and how hard they will be to replace as one of then is badly cracked. I have seen three different wheels on the N model the English type cast ones with the large holes in them, about 19"dia. Then there is the cast...

Thanks I use the tractor at my torp (small farm) in Sweden. I have turned the old barn into a workshop, which means that the floor is in different levels, but it's OK, I can fix almost anything there. This weekend I'm fitting a new radiator on the Major. Did the sketch drawing illustrate how I'm th...

I'm still new to my power major and am looking to use the tractor's hydraulics to power a post driver. In the owner's manual, it states that there is "an external high pressure oil feed (1/2" B.S.P.) provided on the left-hand side of the valve chest for actuating external accessories." Can anyone s...

Hello, There is a specific way to adjust the clearance when you sort out your problems, I find it best to adjust the valves while the other valve in each cylinder is under load as some racker gear flexing seems to be evident. There is a term used for this way of adjusting valve clearances. Normally ...

Hello Pat, The side rails are two welded together, the welds have been ground flat, you can see the rusty band where the weld is. I have a spare power major tank and the rest of the set up but my son is not sure what set up with the gauges he will use. The base tractor is a X marked 1966 model new m...

Hello again, finally we have made a bit more progress with the grader, my son has been working away but has managed to fit up the front axle etc yesterday. We still nead to get a Super major front engine mounting plate or modify the original truck one with some angle brackets to complete the front m...

Hello agin, I took the blanking plate off the starter hole and found that is no ring gear so am somewhat dissapointed. I have been studdying some Fordson books and found that many parts are interchangable between E27N and N gearboxes so may be able to swap things around so I can fit a starter howeve...

Hello all, I have just picked up the makings of a Fordson converted Malcom Moore loader, I haven't seen much on these on the forum so thought I would start a topic on Malcom Moore Loaders. ( some of my distant ancestors in Yorkshire were named Moore, too ) http://i41.tinypic.com/v5h16a.jpg I picked ...

Thankyou Frank and Tim, The grader could be comming home to my place tomorrow afternoon if all goes well. Frank, perhaps I can use a later starter as I have a few spare ones as you indicated. See if this picture will give you a bit more detail. http://i44.tinypic.com/2s7wg2q.jpg Mike
