shhh, I think it's just single bulb.
the one on the other super is just a 1970's afterthought

unfortunately not, but I'm looking......

I have a top link bracket in the shed so that's sorted.
Tractor had a loader on from new so had the silencer through the bonnet and the smaller bonnet handles so loader didn't catch. Seems to make sense.

Now I really need to clear out 'the stores' so I can get it under cover.
What's an unknown condition, but turns, 590E worth with injector pump and manifolds?

adding to the fleet







is that any better

I can get to the home page, open the link at the lower left for 'fordson manuals', open the 'new major repair guide' but then not see the pages.

Just asking

I'm rebuilding a 1952 diesel major which has been in the family from new. It has undergone various modifications etc to keep it running and I am trying to please the tractor show pedants (and myself) and get it as close as I can to original spec. from the massive pile of parts I have been left and a...

forgive dragging an old thread up but I'm rebuilding a '52 E1A, is the safest option to just have the decompressor present but disconnected? The man who rebuilt my head (3 years ago) seems to have made the decision for me. What do the pedants at the tractor shows generally say? ah found another thre...

planning issues apparently?

Aussie Frank, that's the man for 'new' P6 castings, he has them made and machined to original spec. email him via ebay. they are made to order so might take a short while but are spot on.

Hi, an aquaintance is having these P6 parts re-cast and re-machined in the UK. He had a stand at the Newark tractor show and the Perkins people were having a good look.

email to keithjbuckley@btinternet.com for details.

Hi, can anyone tell me which episode of Fred's various excursions had him going to Downs's Iron Foundry at Huddersfield?

Yes it looks like an alloy sump. Thought someone might be interested in the other bits?

anyone seen this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COUNTY-ROADLE ... 2567e5842a

No crankshaft though. I've seen sumps go for not much less.

I'd noticed the lack of upright exhaust, having blown up the tractor section of photo I can see there's no bracket for the mil loader, so is probably an underswept exhaust showing through from the far side.

cheers, N

Hi, my grandfather bought a diesel major in 1952 and I think I may have a the original cheque he paid for it with. He also bought a Land Rover off the same dealer that spring. The cheque is for £645 - 13 - 0, would this have been right for a major or a landy? Allan Condie pamphlet says 1955 diesel r...
