E27N Battery Size

Can anyone tell me the correct size of battery for my 1948 E27N? It is TVO, not P6.

Re: Engine oil

My local oil supplier (Opus oils) mixed me up some 90 grade transmission oil, maybe one of your local suppliers can do the same.

Re: Service manual

Hi Toota,
I have a repair manual for my E27N. you can buy it on the OLD 20 parts Company website, but I'm not sure if they ship to WA - can't see why not though. It includes a section on the P6 engine too

Re: Best Man Speech Advice Needed

Keep it simple and learn your speech so that you don't have to keep looking at your notes. If you feel you need to refer to notes, make them bullet points so you only need a quick glance to keep you on track. :buddies:

Royal Perth Show 28th Sept.

I'm in Perth this weekend. Does anyone know if vintage tractors will be on show in the ground? I looked on the website, but cant see anything obvious.
Are any Australian member going on Saturday, it would be good to meet up (even though its grand final day) :buddies: .

Re: New owner E27N starting problem

Well, that's all the wiring run in and it's all working apart from the ammeter - anyone know what might stop it working? It's a new one, bought recently and is wired as per the diagram. Its all parked up now waiting till I get home again in December to tidy up the cabling and attack some of the rust...

Re: New owner E27N starting problem

Thanks Robert. Luckily, the previous owner had started fitting the lights and brackets, and both are original - including the lenses, so that saves me a few quid. I need to get to some rallies and see what others have fitted for the light switch. My priority is to get it starting off a switch,rather...

Re: New owner E27N starting problem

Yeee haaaa, got it running today!!! The problem turned out to be where the petrol fuel line goes into the sight bowl. The length from the end of the pipe to the olive was too long and was butting against the casing, causing a restricted flow. 30 seconds with a hacksaw and problem solved. We ran it u...

TVO license

I have read recently that under UK HMRC regulations I need a license to use TVO in my E27N. Anyone know how I go about getting one?

Re: New owner E27N starting problem

Thanks to you all for the sound advice. The tank was repaired 10 years ago and has been empty ever since. Next weekend I'll follow all your advice and will be draining the tank and take the pipe off and sort the blockage - I'm sure that will sort it. :D

Re: New owner E27N starting problem

Thanks for your quick reply. I have the same carb that's shown in the photo. When I first filled the tank with petrol, the glass bowl took a while to fill up, and I did wonder at the time if it was a bit on the slow side, so, that's where I will look next. Any idea on how to set up the carb? How muc...

New owner E27N starting problem

I have just got my first Fordson registered in 1948 which has lain idle for 10/15 years. It's fitted with an electric start, but it's not wired in properly yet, so I'm jumping it off a battery. The fuel tank was recently repaired and has clean petrol in it. I had to adjust the float (fitted by previ...
