you might be better off to drill the standard arm and make a tubular sleve to weld on to make it look like the original and be stronger than the other approach

Hi,
Thanks, will take photos this weekend also there is one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT


Maxpower, could you post pictures of your weight as there are early and late versions (a diesel and power major type and a super major type

I have a pair of front weights to fit my super major and wondered if anyone knew whether they would be fitted with bolts or with studs and nuts

Thanks
Matt

This would be an early "waterwasher" fuel tank with the English end being at the dash board end and the irish end would be to use the old surplus ends up, sometimes the baffles inside are made out of surplus ends as well. It would be nice to see some pictures, to see some of the rest of the tractor,...

Hi,
There was a seal there on my brothers Power Major which measured 5/8" inner diameter 15/16" outer diameter and 3/16" wide

Hope this helps,

Matt

anyone??

Hi,

How would the plough light have been wired in on a super major and what type of switch would have been used?

Also does anyone know if there is a correct position for it or if it was an after fitment?

Thanks Matt

all that you need is a fork that the valve stem will fit between to pry the valve spring up with and then tap the valve head down with a soft hammer and watch where the collets go if they fall out

Good Luck,

Matt

The Super Major handbrake is a smaller diameter than the Dexta one

Oh sorry, the same idea as my pic but 10 years previous?

Is this the one? http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll170/Fordson_Matt/Ford%20tractor%20anniversary/DSCF2227.jpg http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll170/Fordson_Matt/Ford%20tractor%20anniversary/DSCF2228.jpg http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll170/Fordson_Matt/Ford%20tractor%20anniversary/DSCF2229...

Hi,
We have probably got a new old stock one, (will have to check) PM me if interested

Matt

Well done thats a nice find, it is a County, as mentioned above in the UK that would be painted in Oxford blue and would have orange idlers but i dont know about Australia

Nice to see some older tractors on here

Matt

Thanks for all of the replys,

Here is one which i have since found on ebay, it is the same as mine and in the description he says it is a ts73, is this a later version of the ts70?

I have recently purchased a 4 furrow Ransomes plough, I think it is a TS59 but then there are variations on the 59 as well eg a TS59N, TS59R etc. Does anyone know what the differences are

the new style wheels have different centres with larger scallops which is whi i am trying to find some originals

Thanks Matt

Hi,
Would anyone have any pressed steel 6.00 - 19 front wheels with this type of centres for my NPSM http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT but a bit closer to Somerset

Also would anyone have any fordson Model F parts

Thanks Matt

Hi,
is this the corect position to hold the cross shaft in to se up the top cover?



Thanks Matt

Hi,

The best place for you to get a diaphram from would be auto electrical (Glastonbury)

Also have you cleaned the air filter out?

Thanks for this, this is as I was thinking but then saw some tractors with the later type fitted

Thanks for that, sorry I worded the first post badly, I meant to say rear lights

Matt

Below is a link to a pair of new rubbers for a rest o ride seat on ebay just thought this could be of use to somebody http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/600-801-900-4000-FORD-TRACTOR-REST-O-RIDE-SEAT-GROMT_W0QQitemZ360173458359QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item53dc02d3b7&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177&_trk...

Hi

I have been looking at the lights fitted on NPSM tractors and was wondering whether the early thousand series type lights were ever fitted or if they were an aftermarket fitment and all of the majors used the same type.

Thanks Matt

Thanks for this I printed the page last night now all i need to do is do it.

We have just rebuilt the hydraulic top cover for my Super Major and now it needs setting up but I need two special tools to do this. I was wondering whether anyone had the two special tools needed to do this and if they did whether it would be possible for me to borrow them or if someone could measu...
