These engine were used also in trucks as well as other applications. In the truck version, (and in a car) it is driven using the accerator, but a tractor is more static revs, with the governer changing the revs to suit the load at hand. I have 2x Major engines, 1 with mechanical governer, and the ot...

You just used the wrong code. Needs to be the IMG code (mostly)

the wife says I should shut my mouth and just post pic's! Pat Your lovely wife would'nt say that :lol: but then, we all know a picture paints a thousand words. Your wife is a very clever lady. I mean, she owns a super 4, a super 6, and about 3 majors :beer: :clap: not mention a pumpkin cannon :lol:...

I got the head back yesterday and the crank is on its way to get a regrind. Pulled the front transmission out and was pleasantly surprised to find the mouse house and rust resulted in only minor surface rust on the gears, all the bearings, races, and shafts look good. Although the hand brake has be...

Good to know.
Must save that to the memory bank.

This might not solve your problem, but from "past experience" :eyes: with temperature guage sender units, I would suggest purchasing a genuine CNH/New Holland sender unit, part number C4AH10884A.See if that makes a difference :mrgreen: TSG. Is this because the genuine Ford sender is matced to the g...

Dam :curse: :cry: When I took the generator off the engine, I wasn't as careful with it as I should have been, and dropped it. I broke the pulley. I was going to use an alternater, so wasn't concerned. I have since been able to get my tacho/hourmeter working, so now want the generator to drive the t...

Senders need to be matched to gauges.

How do you match them
Kiwi Kev

Hi Frank, Fingers crossed- I looked again at the oil this morning after the initial disappointment of the colour yesterday and it didn't actually seem that bad, and certainly hadn't got any worse overnight (?) So will fit the genuine sender unit, a replacement thermostat and voltage regulator and g...

Hi all
Anybody with a Ford 5000 6x, with the generator with the tacho drive, can you please measure the OD size of the pulley.
Just want to check what size pulley she should have, now that I have just about got my tacho going. Only waiting on the cable to arrive.

I would just go with 2 or 3mm on both ends of 1 half of the seal.(normally the sump half)
Kiwi Kev

Steve
I'm sure you know what you're doing, but make sure crank seal is soaked in oil, and you leave 1/8 inch protruding proir to reinstalling sump
Kiwi Kev

Fixersteve Good to see you got the photos sorted. The sump is secured by 21 bolts.10 on the LHS, and 11 on the RHS. The eleventh bolt is recessed and not visable from the side. It is at the front of the sump, next to the front plate. Keep searching until you find it. I did my rear crank seal just a ...

the earlier pan, that is provided it fits over the oil pump on your engine. Regards, Frank I got caught with the early sump on a late model (1965) Fordson industrial engine that was put into my Fordson, awhile back. I did'nt do the job, and was'nt aware of this problem, but the early sump and early...

As I don’t have a steady rest for my big lathe I took an old piston, countersunk a center point in it, stuffed it in the sleeve up to one of the compression rings and then chucked the whole thing in the lathe with a live center in the end of the piston. Pat Don't worry Pat, my live centre is the sa...

Is that another Major we have'nt seen before?

How did that big crack get in the sump Pat?

Lathe Terminology... Even though you have a ball bearing center in the tail stock, it is still considered a, "Dead Center." The "Live Center" would be in the head of the lathe and would most often used with a faceplate and dog to turn between centers. The terms are throw backs from the old days whe...

Dear,Friends I have Ford 2000 tractor 4wd 1968 year (unit: 8A19B; Tractor number: B084840 ) and i have a problem with front differential. Actually front differential is missing ( i bought without front differential) so searching by internet i found this site and i want to ask does somebody have a f...

Hi all Anyone with a Ford 5000 with a foot throttle, can you please load a couple of photo's of the foot throttle setup. Perhaps one showing where and how it sits on the foot plate, and the linkage that connects it to the existing hand throttle linkage. The more photo's the better :clap: Thanks Kiwi...

oil pressure is about 25# checked with a couple of gages. So, if you've got an old sump, you've either got a PRV in the timing cover, or a very worn engine or oil pump. Do you have any reasons to be concerned about the oil pressure i.e. noisey engine or knocking? Is that 25 psi with oil cold or hot...

Why do you want to know about the releif valve for? Do you have a problem with oil pressure or lack of oil pressure. If the engine has been changed, but you still have the old sump, then you may not have a PRV, which may mean that your oil pressure is up around 150psi. :cry: Ask me how how know :scr...
