any idea on what conversion this is?

Hi, well I have the gearbox all apart now and inspected. As suggested..thank you, the bearing had failed and the other bearing on the same shaft on its way out. So I’m looking for 2 bearings N-7118-D upper shaft small N-7065-E upper shaft large Does anyone have a generic part number for the bearing...

The seal of the pulley is really easy. Best to check the bearings too.

there was a crack at the tap, which we got repaired by soldering it.
I fitted a new belt at the same time, cause that one really had done it's job way too long..
on last run it was blowing some coolant on the cil head. I guess I need to look at the cap, I think it's a pressured one.

I have a badly leaking radiator, tried already a leakstop but it failed the leak is at the bottom and its behind the casing. Should i go for an after market one or get it fixed and get it recored at the same time? I have spare radiator, which has a leak in the core. Might use that one in the meantim...

Selene sept 63 here is a slow one. It does have the numbered stamped behind the gearstick.

Correction, need indeed super major parts for the diff. In the parts manual they make the difference

Hello Ed, Welcome to the board. The bearing at the top is known to fail when there's not enough oil in gearbox. So first thing you can check is the oil level in the gearbox. It should be almost at te level of the filler plug. The oil level in the back is at a much lower level. If one of the 2 seals ...

Dan if you're going to use a topper or anything driven by PTO seriously consider a "Live Drive" Major I'm starting to think that's the way to go. Is there some way to tell by looking at the machine, e.g. a badge? EDIT On the subject of a Super Major, obviously this is quite pricey but, depending on...

I think the problem is there's a nylon nut on it.

Did you try to hammer on the side of the steering rod?

Rear axle. Start with pto seals before taking it down completely I don't think we know what has leaked, but if it does seem to be the PTO seal it should mean the oil is at the same level. If it's not it's the main seal (the oil wil be just below it in the gearbox). good point, will measure those le...

Rear axle. Start with pto seals before taking it down completely I'm afraid it will be the seal from hell (the upper one). I checked and the oil level really dropped a lot in the gearbox. And I almost did not use the pto, only a few minutes to try the winch. "That's actually the breather pipe to th...

Looks like an alternator fitted as well as a different starter. Yes, there's an ebay listing that mentions the alternator. What is the point in such a conversion? Long drive home though! At a stately 10mph... Dan Ask for a delivery? People who sell these, mainly have also a possibility to deliver i...

Anyway, the main problem living out here in Pembrokeshire is that we're so far away from centres of population that it's very difficult to view anything that's not local. Hard to justify driving five or six hours to say, the Marches and back on spec. So, as advised earlier, the best thing is probab...

Yesterday I did a test run with the selene. she got some leaks around the sump. https://i.postimg.cc/sDN3srcV/20220805-201116.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/zfm5HF66/20220805-201121.jpg This should be an easy one: copper washer https://i.postimg.cc/x1Nnd4xL/20220805-201355.jpg This scares me a bit: https:...

Glad you found the solution. Sometimes it need some time to investigate and to think about it.

Theo,

Ik heb deze veertjes bij Delegro gevonden een aantal jaren terug.

It's getting dry here also. The farmers have been doing hay all day.
I hope you get enough water for your garden.

Good evening all. Status update. Power Steering Work on going on power steering. It’s going to take some time to get going with this as the man with the Lathe is busy. Raised Pto When disassembling the pro I got a hop out of the fact that the existing pto shaft was extended at on point by approxima...

put it on jack stands and let it spin. It will give you a better view on the rear wheels. Maybe the rim is not that straight anymore.

Well, I got a Selene build on a Fordson Super major new performance 1963 a while back. It has a Silvant winch on the back. Here are some pictures https://i.postimg.cc/hv8w9r5f/20220606-172038.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/RCwj5SZ4/20220606-172102.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/mrh007t5/20220606-173603.jpg http...

Just take off the nelt on the steering pump. Unless you have different setup there is one belt for the steeri´g and anotherone that takes the water pump and dynamo

great find. really cool

While I have the engine out, I took it apart to see what needs to be redone. Still in the progress to look at all parts what to replace etc..

john,

only the last picture is visible, but the result looks great!
