You need a Universal Nylon Bracket. A 'Bit of band' to the uninitaited.

That's a great link Grani, now how do I scale it down to A4 to print off for reference?

Neil,
Roadless Super Major no.1650

I'm fettling a 1952 major which has a MIL loader. I'm in favour of fitting lights a la Super Major, which will really upset the purists. I understand it is 'acceptable' for showing to fit the lights on top of cowl, but I don't want to. But I'll probably use Major grills rather than Super ones, not s...

I think NFU historic tractor insurance does not cover tractors for working.

Michael, what weight are you planning on moving with pallet tines? In my experience (Ford 4600) moving the weight a foot forwards will increase the load on the loader and reduce the weight on the back axle leading to front axle problems and lack of grip. Also, HOW MUCH! I know knocking the pins out ...

Hi all again.
E1A engine blocks are like buses, I now have one sat on my trailer under the shed and just got another on ebay down in Reading!

Anyone want the second one in a months time when I've decided which is best

Hi Sandy, saving cashing in the stock of brownie points till I find a Muir Hill 121.
Only just speaking again after the buying of the Moffett.

There were no bids... I thought about it just to put her out of her misery but decided I have enough projects.

How about this?

Unusual, if not unique. But in a nice way!

Watching this thread with interest, my basket case major has the original log book from '52 but I want to keep this as it is signed by my grandfather and has the first ten years tax stamps in.
I'll just have to tell them I've lost it

Block is cracked between water and 2 and 3 cylinder bore. Probably an overheating injury 15 years ago when it last ran on the foster digger. I don't know about the bottom end yet but would love to know anywhere that could repair block rather than replace. Tractor was bought by my uncle in '52. He or...

I have a pair from 1989 drivers kit that came with 6610, but for some reason they sent all Medium overalls. I keep meaning to put them on ebay.... You just need some quality dark blue overalls and embroidered Ford or Fordson badge http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-MOTORS-BLUE-OVAL-SEW-IRON-PATCH-UK-FREEPOS...

This chap has 2 on ebay. Hurry up though.

I have the MIL trip loader for the E1A, the only one that hasn't a loader is the 6cyl roadless super! edit- the E1...

What weight of hand luggage is allowed on the North Sea ferry?

Looking for replacement block or engine for diesel 1952 E1A, one with control rod through block.
Located North of England, but will travel (to edge of water).

I know we don't do commercial but can anyone point me in the direction of the most correct mudguards for a 1952 E1A.
I am told there is a man at driffield making them, that's fairly local to me.

Thanks for any help.

Neil

Hi again Sandy, roadless still untouched by human hand for 5 (?) years!
We have sold the milking herd and I'm working as self employed labour only now, so might get more free time?


Roadless pic here hopefully

Hi Pascal, tractor was purely bought for novelty value. I have a normal 7840 with front loader but almost bought a moff in the 90's, and felt I needed (wanted?) an extra tractor for the farm. Does anyone have the article from Classic Tractor which says how many MFT's they made? I'm hoping they will ...

thanks for the constructive comment Brian, all I can supply at the moment is a link to pictures link on farmphoto.com
