Hello all, I am replacing the bearings in the injection pump from a 1955 E1A and appart from discarding two or three injection pumps due to rusted cams etc I have found another problem which others may like to know about. I took the step in advance of ordering a kit from England to do the job, howev...

I am looking for a late N model housing that has the bulge for the starter motor, as I need to fit a starter motor to my N model grader. it needs to be in Australia and preferably West Australia.

Hello Arno,
can you please tell me how you overcame the excess endfloat in the clutch shafts as mine needs to be reduced due to the common thrust face wear they suffer?

Hello Brockwood, I have two Malcolm Moore Fordson conversions, the first is a grader based on a 1937 N model, I have to get this back on wheels so I can get it into a position where I can do the other work to restore it. I have a leed on the whereabouts of one other, and I found a picture on the int...

Hello again Robert, The cranks in the next model ( K series Trader ) seem the same too, ( same flywheel ) would need to check first though. I think the D series will have changed cranks by that stage, I suppose you have looked at this option as there are plenty of old ones of those around, if you kn...

Hello Robert, I have just had notification that my bearings have arrived, I think the price was about $I50 Australian, I will go to town and get them this morning. I would be cautious about welding a crank, unless you ment metal spraying, even this can have issues if not bonded correctly. If I were ...

There are also different diamaeter bull gears too according to the parts books. 17.65 inches reduced to 17.52 inches. Seems like they needed a larger diameter pinion shafts to be able to hollow them out for the diff lock activating pin and to do this they reduced the corresponding bull gear diameter...

Thank you for all those specifications, my camshaft is 3.060 as indicated as the maximum camshaft size, so all is great there, I have ordered some standard bearings for mine, though .010 undersize ones are also available for worn cams.

Hello Hank, Did you ever get the badges you wanted, I tried to send you a message but you obviously did not recieve it? Please give me a ring and we can discuss it further? My son has been working away so progress on the grader is very slow, but as the weather clears we hope to re start on it. I hav...

Hello all, a word of warning, there are reasons that the cranks wear badly, firstly is water in the oil and also there is the fuel bleed off lines cracking the lead solder or the re using tof he copper sealing washers. The crank I am about to throw out is destroyed from trying to reuse the rear tape...

I know what you mean about the small pin, this seems to have been a carry over from the N model and kept, so that front axles could be interchanged, from my quick observations there is very little difference to the mounting holes sizes or their position from the N to the Power Major, but by the time...

Hello everyone, My son wants to build a replica of an Aveling Barford grader using my old spare parts 1955 New Major as a base. I have shown him how to do the rear axle seals and hydraulic top seals, and we need to split and do the gearbox seal and we can tthen start on mounting a blade. We have fit...

Thank you very much, I have made enquiries to get these bearings. It seems to be the front bearing that fails more, probably due to vibration from the front gears, I pulled down three 590E engines and every one had erosion problems in the front bearing, this could be from the gears or or possibly fr...

Hello all, I am having to rebuild my 6cyl engine and everything is done except for the camshaft bearings which are not a lot of use, the part numbers are; Front cam bearing E1ADKN 6261 -A one only, Remaining bearings E1ADKN 6262 -A 6 required. I hope someone can help me or I am completely stuck with...

Hello everyone, I need to find out the machining size for the main bearing tunnel as the bearing shells were moving from excessive bearing clearance and I am having them closed up and remachined.

Can anyone please tell me the size to have the bearing cap bores in the block machined to?

Mike

Hello all, I wonder if anyone can tell how to read the Ausie plates correctly as I am guessing a bit? The New Majors here had the engine number stamped into a single tag ion the top middle of the firewall just above the rocker cover. From 1957 when the mark two models came out the plates changed, th...

Hi Liam Sounds like you have been reading the same article in the magazine that landed here in my mail box in Canada on Friday :wink: :) I wish I had one of those Countys, Or the parts where easy to get here :cry: I'd love to build a replica of it. I'm not a fan of that nose cone on the 4x4 county ...

Hello all, The battery leads and those from the statrer solanoid do develop resistance, the braided copper earth leads are a particular proplem, I have had these get very hot from resistance when starting a new engine. The solanoid also does deteriate over time as well, I recently replaced my starte...

Hello, Ollie, mine had twin filters bolted to the engine and a Bosch lift pump as well and like you I have removed all this and made it the same as the tractor. I made a blanking plate for the side of the Injection pump from 6mm plate. My project has slowed due to a protracted dispute with a neighbo...

Hello again, for your information, In West Australia Agricultural N models had the 19" wheels with four holes, The N model grader had a solid cast 16" wheel with little offset, then from the E 27N on all our Fordsons had 16" front wheels with more offset to clear the later type king pins/ stub axles...

Mike, I also have what I think is a 590E engine in a Super Major. I bought it with the engine in already, but most of the rest of the tractor simply wasn't there. I was told by the fitter who I bought it off, and who half did the conversion, the engine he took out of a Clayson combine. Since it see...

Hello Mike here again, I have now fitted the commercially manufactured rear fork now, it is quite a few years old and uses the single acting main lift ram, the shaft of this is quite large compared with my home made one. I have it all working but a few leaks to fix, ( rust preventative ) I haven't t...
