You should post this in the New Major Forum. You will get more replies. Dandy Dave.

My Brother always said to get a Retired Submarine and bury it in the sand. If a hurricane comes, just close the hatch and stay inside. This morning it is 19F or -8C here. Dandy Dave!

Nice Photos. Looks like you guys had fun. Dandy Dave!

I believe it is time to buy a Tropical Island. -5F here this morning. Hope the best for all in 2015. Dandy Dave!

Nice. I saw photos of this somewhere a while ago. If memory serves me right, it was built around WWI. Dandy Dave!

Cool! No instructions here, but will be on the look out. Dandy Dave!

First, Clean the filter in the pump and be sure the pump is pumping. Most likely the seals, packing, and O rings in the cylinder are leaking. The valve that actuates the cylinder is in it and works off of the drag link that goes to the steering box. My tractor would not steer at all when I got it an...

Hope Your Christmas was Tops, And your New Year will be all the Best. Dandy Dave!

Yup. Look about right. Dandy Dave!

Glad to hear you are both home safe. Hope you have some time to rest up being so close to Christmas and the New year. Dandy Dave!

I had a piece of leaf in my tank that drove me nuts for a time. I finally found it when the tractor refused to start while sitting in the shed. It would sometimes float over the tap and then get sucked down stopping the flow of fuel. The tractor would quit usually while I was on the highway going be...

Nice tractor. And a family heirloom besides. It just does not get any better that that. Dandy Dave!

Push rods are not a big deal. All you need to do is to be sure that they are in a compression position and then set them with a feeler gage of the proper size. Now, Us guys that have been doing this for years do not even bother with a feeler gage as we know that a 1/4th to a 1/3rd of a turn will giv...

Working on Crawlers... Yep, Get ye some rail road ties. Stack em at least two high. And then run er up on and send a young, agile, and skinny lad under to do the dumb work. Then you get to look and do the smart thinking when he has it apart enough for you to look and see what ever you suspect is wro...

Hi Paudie Sadly in the last 60 odd years of majors there are a lot of high hour tractors out there, That have been driven hard and put away wet n dirty. Without much maintenance in between use :eyes: :run: . Regards Robert Amen to that! :wink: The devil made me do it cried out the poor old dirt far...

Welcome aboard Matey! :D I haven't been on in a short bit. Looks like your getting good advice already. I'm a yank that just slipped in a big pile when I was given my PM a number of years ago. It came with factory PS, a raised PTO, Two stage clutch, and a double acting hydraulic remote control. I ha...

For a time, Brian is the man from the land down under. Hope all is well and you stay on the bottom of the water. Dandy Dave!

A high quality repo top? One of those little problems that you do not think about. Dandy Dave!

The past few days have been in the 40'sF. If the weather man didn't fib, It will be in the upper 20'sF at night. The old wood furnace is working fine and keeps the house around 75F. Dandy Dave!

A lot of after market stuff was available for these tractors back in the day. Looks like the wheels were modified for these to fit. Dandy Dave!

Nice! Is there correct grills, Headlights, and a front badge in your future? Dandy Dave!

It is a sad day, The owners of British Tractor Wreckers are both deceased, and the company's doors are closed. The company has provided some us on here with some very hard to get parts in the past. This will surly leave a hole in the hearts and minds of us Fordson Collectors. Dandy Dave! http://www....

I was going to send you to British Tractor Wreckers. It has been closed due to the Death of the owner and his wife. Sad. Dandy Dave!

Nice! Dandy Dave!

Henry Ford never sold them that way. Any thing with crawler tracks was an aftermarket item. Talk with my buddy at the Connecticut Yankee tractor..
