Hi, my Super Major started spilling oil out of the breather on the timing cover. I learned from older posts here that 1. hard work for her may help, so I disced an hour on a friends field. 2. the air filter sucks air from the motor body. 3. the breather normally contains some wool or mesh. I opened ...

Hi,

my french Major parts list knows the hub as E1ADKN-1105 including the bolts and it seems to be the same part from 1952 on.

Peter

Hi,

is there a video of the formation?

Peter

Hi Adrian, did you solve this topic? Today I disassembled my hydraulics, changed lots of o-rings but did not manage to get out the plug of the valve hidden by the plates of the control valve. Thread there was 3/8" UNF (I think). I had nothing of that kind, unfortunately. How do I get out the speed c...

Hi, maybe this video can help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz8IqKV6GVU It's a trailer for a DVD with old advertising films by Fordson. After the intro with rebuild tractors starts a film about the Super Major (from 0:30 to app. 1:40). On DVD the Super Major film is about 12min long, on youtube i...

Hi,

my dealer said they came new "like bathed in blue color". So everything was painted blue including injection pump etc.

Hi, I'm going to the Isle of Man next time (with a car). I'll cross the bigger island from Hull to Heysham. Are there any wreckers on my way I should visit? I'm looking for smaller parts like badges or the metal teeth of the grille e.g. Any hints? Peter P.S.: Can anyone recommend a hotel in Heysham?...

Hi, on my January 1963 Super Major the RPM gauge goes anti clockwise (0 is on right side). Actually I have one of this cheap repro parts without light. The first stopped working after 1,2 hours, this one shows RPM but does not count the time. The driving cable comes directly from the injection pump....

Hi, are you sure, that there's a hole and not simply too much water inside? I replaced the radiator and after filling the new water in and driving around, water run out of it, too. I filled the upper hose up to the maximum, but there was no room for the expanding hot water. Now water level is on the...

Can you find some 3metre diameter rear wheels / tyres to fit Peter ?? :P but this would spoil the look :cry: I was thinking of 18.4/30 when renewing tyres, but they are not mentioned in any papers I had. In Germany you need a technical check from TÜV for registration. With old papers it was no prob...

Hi,

my 1963 Super Major runs about 20 kmh (not mph) at 2000 rpm in sixth gear. Is there a possibility to speed her up?
Higher revs is not my favorite solution ...

Peter

Hi,

another question, because the picture shows it very good: How is the valve (Nr. 2 in the photo above) dismantled, which switches between 3pt linkage and the external pipe? It looks similar to that on my super major, but mine does not move.
Can I turn the big round cover?

Peter

Hi,

just as a notice: Today I mounted a new solenoid and tested a new clamp meter at different cables. The running starter alone (not coupled to the flywheel) used about 50-60 Ampere. Starting the engine used about 150A. Temperature was at 18 °C.

Hi Matt, my experience with tractor tyres is only 1/2 year. I use BKT tyres, TR-135 (16.9-30) on rear and 7.5-16 on front. They look okay and for my use (nearly no work, towing trailers) it's ok. I don't know how good they are on the field. Cost was 1430 Euro for all four tyres in summer last year. ...

Hi, my parts dealer told me, regulators are changed completely when not in order, but I repaired mine. Look here http://www.worldphaco.net/uploads/REPAIRING_THE_STANDARD_RB106.pdf and here http://www.voc.uk.com/net/docs/16/16-357-22.pdf It's a bit tricky to adjust, but seems possible. Search Google ...

Hi Kerry,

look here: http://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/phpbb ... f=2&t=3477, I had a similar problem.

Peter

Hi, I think you have to practice it a lot, then it'll work. This trailer was my first four-wheeler, so I'm not used to go reverse with it. I had a situation on Monday where I went in a very small lane, hill down and with a 90 degree curve. I had to go reverse round the curve but there was no room fo...

Hi, Looks like you tractor have no trouble at all pulling that trailer. In fact, I think your tractor went so fast that you have to wait for them! even with handbrake on on the trailer there was no problem to pull it. Only warm brakes :-) Speed was limited to about 15kmh after the parade, because th...

Helau (back to Holland ),

after filling air in the tyres of the trailer I could push it alone. Slowest speed today was about 1.1km/h, first gear and idle rpm, so "no load".

People liked the tractor.

Peter

Hi,

I live in a part of Germany, where carnival is very popular. Today my Major and me were part of it:



In this picture we are waiting for the rest of the parade.

Peter

Hi Tim,

is this part list for a Super Major available as PDF and in english? I have one in french, but translating is a problem sometimes. A german version would be ok, too.

Peter

Hi Mark,

it's a common problem. Look here:

Hi, pictures: :-) Overview: http://predecke.auge.de/Traktor/DSC04079.jpg and thanks to iPhoto http://predecke.auge.de/Traktor/DSC04079-2.jpg Here you can see the threat ending in the middle of the hole. I think the easiest repair is drilling two holes in the housing right near the defect hole (from ...
