Nice collection. On this picture is a lot of mystery E numbers but not a 660EE. Not a 590E either.

The Pump is not a Minimec, it is a Simms GM and it is an older model of mecanical governor that don´t normally have the FL head. The oilpan and the front mountingplate has to be changed before it fits into a Major.

Regards Russell.

I did not notice it as a problem to get it out.

Here is some pictures if it helps. The circlip grove is in the housing and You have to get it off to change the seal.

Things like this is a reminder of how fragile computers and servers are and how important back up´s are. Luckily we did not lose anything........this time.

I had thought that a 4cyl Fordson starter would struggle to have the torque required to do the job.

That can happen at cold weather depending on the engine oil in use, but normally it starts very easy even with bad batterys.

As to the oil pump, later 4 cyl engines have the same pump as 6s. Early sumps do differ in the oil pump area. You need a Power Major or later sump. Steve According to my experience the later 4cyl pump has the integrated pressure valve but the gears are narrower than on the 6 cyl pump and therefore ...

The Trader has an electric solenoid as well. There are Trader starters with the solenoid in different positions though. You can use the Fordson orginal starter if you like.

This is my backup power "toy". It´s a 590E ofcourse and a surplus military 27kW generator. It powers the whole house when needed. However we don´t have power failures very often here. I have tested a smaller one as well. This is under construction. The plan is to run them on waste vegetable oil. htt...

Here a picture of two different 590E sump models.

That´s the way to do it.

Today is the first time this forum is back to the normal speed again. I hope the problem is over what ever i was.

It could be the head of the industrial engine version of the "Fordson Major"4 cyl engine, the 592E engine, if I remember correct. I think it would fit though.

This is the third time this winter that I remove the snow from the roof of garage . It was then a big pile of snow for the Roadless but not too much.

I have seen a picture of a front pto like this but with a normal looking pto shaft. Edit: I just found an other picture.

I don´t think he has yet. He was interested in one of mine until he heard the price.

I don´t know what a County sump looks like but somehow i think that the one on Pascals engine would come up close to a County sump, but as I said it´s only my guess.

I don't know anything about Selene conversions (obviously). Why does it say Manuel on the front diff.? Selene was formed by two assosiates , Dr Sion Segre-Amar and Signor Cantore and the name Selene is belived to have been derived from the name of Segre-Amar´s wife. The trade name for the conversio...

I have only Roadless drawings to give You but I think it is only minor differences compared to Selene. The clutch linkage goes under the transferbox and has a special design clutchpedal. http://fordson.se/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3159

I am also active on a finnish phpBB (http://www.masinistit.com/index.php?sid=add8f32891a7289a17e86fec45becf67) and a Swedish phpBB (http://fordson.se/phpBB2/index.php) forums and they loads very fast. This use to be as fast as they, until a month ago, when I wrote my first post about this problem. G...

This is one way to do it.

I think it´s a temporary problem even if it has last for a relatively long time allready.
