The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Hi Mark, Unfortunately the wholes of the alu-sump are not on the same place as the ones in the bellhousing. Probably the same problem as you have? My cousin is working on a solution. I think he is going to drill some extra wholes on both sides, to attach the alu sump and bellhousing. I will make so...

This is a great help to me finding out where these might fit. I think they are Fordson seals but i don´t know to what model and place. E27N is on some of them.

How can it be possible, you have an original sump???

Nice. So you got the crank mowing at last, what was the sticking problem?

If the oilpan is made of aluminium then it´s no use to weld a bracket and put the 3 missing bolts because it can´t take the stress anyway. Lenghten the siderails instead to go all the way to the rear axle, the there should be no strenght problems. Build a crossmember for the A-support just in front ...

Hi Guys I have fitted my 6 cylinder engine to my major today. Because it isnt a 590E engine, i dont want to spoil or overrun this thread so i will continue posting on my thread in the new major forum. http://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=1235 Thanks for all your help. Mark Good ...

They were lucky it had rained that day....... else

You can weld reinforsments on the upper and lower part of the welding, because the gasket do not vipe that part of the ball when steering.

Thanks Aussie Frank for a much better explanation than what I came up with. This was what I meant.

Grani, do you know if it is possible for me to buy a complete front axle from a GMC CCKW, and do the necessary modifications for shortening the left side? Did Roadless make this modifications? I talked to the people in your link, and they have complete spare axels. Would be nice to have a front axl...

It is only the front axle that is from a GMC CCKW, but shortened at the left side. The propellorshaft joints are made of Hardy Spicer standard parts that are easy to buy from allmost everywhere, except for the overload clutch. You can try this place for CCKW parts, it is not too far from you. http:/...

Nice

The biggest problem with a FMD is that the engine has only 1900 rpm so the speed is not going to be what it has been before. The orginal Trader engine has 2500rpm and that is a little bit better. http://images.google.fi/images?hl=fi&source=hp&q=thames+trader&btnG=Etsi+kuvia&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&...

We can tell that the enginge is changed to an industrial one and it is one of the oldest models according to the pumpnumber.

I have change the left seal on my Super without draining the oil and removing the axle. A wery small amount of oil was dripping during the procedur but no problems with it.

I could buy some more too. One is dismantled at the moment and was not able to join the Ford engine concert today.

Look at the manifolds then you know inlets and outlets.

It might be that. But it'll only start running on 3 if its been sat around for a few hours at least. Is it possible it could be leaking water into one of the cylinders? Just enough to stop combustion until it warms up enough ? The water is not stopping the combustion because it is gone in a sec if ...

I guess it could be a bad nozzle. If you loosen one pipe at the time you will find the bad one when the sound does not change.

You can blow compressed air backwards through the returnpipe and look for bubbles.

So it seems to be a common problem then.

I did that as the first thing, but with no result.

Often when I use the "View posts since last visit" function it says, for example that: Search found 5 matches, but nothing appears. What is the reason for that? Other phpbb forums has not this problem.

The usual way for the water to get to the oil is that the lower O- ring for the cylinder sleeves let the water through. This crack is not so bad that it looks. I have no other experiance of an engine with a crack like that than I once sold an engine with a crack to a guy, and he bought it because it...
