I'm pretty sure that the rear end of the Side arms is got a sleeve in it as it is part of a top link, and will move up and down with axle.

I'm guessing that's how it works

Hi Pascal Your tractor is looking very good, i am impressed with your cousins and uncles work. You look to have another good variation of supporting the front axle properly, i guess the ends are off toplinks? one thing i would say is, i would definantly weld the 'U' pieces to the sidearms arms and n...

Right, im going to get on the phone in the morning and order the oil seals that i need for the transmission, the problem is that i dont know what i need :) Agriline lists two oil seals, input and output, but the input seal they list is for a Super, so not sure exactly which ones i need as i have nev...

I'm really annoyed that both hubs have cracked,especially when i cut out the hubs so the bearing race fitted easily. But it is one of them things. Also I could of got paid to cart many trailer loads of corn with my major today for a forestry man I know, there would of been some steep hills when goin...

I dont flipping believe it !!!!!!!!!!!! :( ive just been pressing the outer casing of the bearings into the other new hub, i was doing it properly on a pneumatic press, got the casing sitting nice and level, and scraped the hub out and already had the race in once, lubricated aswell, and the casting...

Update One step forward :) two steps back :( This is how yesterday started for me http://sites.google.com/site/fergusont20/_/rsrc/1279950068971/pug/start.JPG Front end missing, just needed building up with the parts i have had machined and bushed, i thought it would be so easy First thing, get the ...

Hi Pascal

Thankyou for the info, do you know what the post was called regarding the ford 3000/4000 hydraulics? as i would like to read it, i have searched and cant find it.

Thanks Mark

I don't know where I got 80s pound from ???. They are 140s pound plus postage, I'm having one made 55 inches long, I have sourced a new hinge which is 59 inches long, so I will need to cut it down, that is 8 pounds. Doing it this way you can keep your old bonnet or sell it on to part fund the new ex...

Bearing in mind I don't know the exact workings of these model of engines, and I havnt yet done anything to mine Drop your oil, take the sump off, your oil pump will be just inside, take it apart, but remember or photograph how it goes back together,all are built on same principle but each is slight...

Im hopefully nearing completion of my six cylinder conversion of my 1956 Fordson Major When complete, amongst other jobs i would like to start ploughing with it, now we have a couple of Fergie 2 furrow ploughs, but i would like to buy one specifically to use behind my Major. Now i am no plough or pl...

Our internationl B250 oil pressure is not as high as i would like, when i get the chance i want to do some investigative work, im starting with the pump as i suspect the gears inside it may be worn. But as Brian suggests i could be several things. Have you got a book to help you check clearances, me...

Hi Arno Great work and pictures, i am glad you have solved your pivoting problem, although i am struggling to understand what you have done differently to correct it. What uses are you planning for the tractor when complete? and are you planning to use it first before painting, to see of any parts n...

I have put new pins in both ends of the steering arm which we extended 290 mm, the original pins were worn, so this again should improve the steering and reduce the amount of play, I have fitted a new grease nipple as one was missing,I will now be able to service and maintain this part correctly. Wh...

I have always thought about a tractor trip the length of the uk, now i am thinking about a trip into europe on my major on the ferry to see all these 6 cylinder majors once they are made.

I think we should all organise a get together.

Would be interesting

?????????????????????????????????????

I have been thinking more about your pivoting problem,and will try further to help you :) you say that the axle on its own pivots fine, and connected to the dexta arms it still pivots fine, but when everything is connected to the old foot pegs, the dexta arms try to bend and it will not pivot nicely...

I have replied to your axle bolts questions in your thread :) Update on mine : Got the time today to look properly at all the parts i purchased from agriline. I have taken my front axle, all the steering parts and the tombstone casting to a local machine shop to get them machined properly so my new ...

I see you have only tacked together the 'U' pieces and the dexta arms, i would weld them togther fully,all the way around instead of just tacked, and then try again. The axle is very heavy, i suspect that is why you tacked weld has broke. I ran my dexta arms parallel with the new extended side rails...

Colin Perryman 07929866376 at Colin Perryman tractor parts in Cornwall is your friend here, he gets new extended bonnets made, im waiting for one off him at the minute. They are folded out of sheet metal to whichever length you want, i need one 290mm longer than original, you just take the catches o...

Good luck, and keep us updated with whichever option you choose to go with, I'm sure a smaller filter with less surface area for the oil to pass through will cause a greater oil pressure

Hello Im fitting a Ford 2713E industrial engine 5950cc 363 cu in, into my major, have a look here http://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=1235 I dont know the 2702E engine but im guessing that if you say you have changed the side rails, the new engine is 6 cylinders and longer??? th...

I told agriline that they didnt have the measurements for the two oil on their website about 4 weeks ago, they updated it straight away so you can now tell if u need the long or short one
