The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Any body out there got some grills for a power major? I didn't want to put new on as the rest of the to work has aged a bit don't have to be perfect cheers all

They are already on a pallet, I think they did have square headed bolts to stop them turning when bolting on but you may be able to get them from bolt supplier or I have just welded a lug on head of bolt before use a coarse thread and spring washer and they will look authentic cheers kev

I guess it give more room for loader plus someone's put the lights up high and most loader tractors I've seen seem to have the nose guard

Hi all anybody want a full set of rear wheel weights for a major two starter weights and four outer in original rusty condition no bolts £250 or swap for something interesting cheers

Yeah it's live drive farmer said it used to have an old mill
Loader on it but he hated it and chucked it on the scrap I would of quite liked to of kept the loader on. Il post some pictures when I get her out working I've got get some tyres which is going to cost some £££ but they make the tractor

heres a fordson power major I bought a couple of weeks ago seen it in a barn and asked farmer if he wanted to sell and the deal was done :D I drove it home but engine was smoking and was using water so a rebuild was on the to do list here's a few pictures http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j450/woo...

I'm nearing the end of my engine rebuild, I was wondering what every body thinks I have a copper gasket and a composite one, what would of been fitted to the power major from new? And which seals the best any advice appreciated

Well done it's nice to have the clocks working

Hi Adrian, the two bolts just hold a cap for outer cable threads onto the inner cable square end slides into a little spigot that is on the end of cam of pump , I've had a couple one had the spigot snapped off and the other had the square rounded so it wouldn't turn cable, I managed to fix that with...

Ok il reuse them like you say a bit of loctite wouldn't hurt. Cheers Brian

Hi all I'm giving a power major a rebuild just wondered if you can reuse the conrod nuts, I can't see any available if I can't, also has anyone got the torque wrench settings for said nuts. Cheers all

I have got a 3 point winch for her ,but I wanted to use her for more than just winching once you get the boughton bolted on rear it's too much hassle to take off, so I wondered what plough I need would a 14" do or did Ransomes make a wider plough I don't want more than 3 furrows I've got some steep ...

Hi I'm after a bit of advice on which plough to buy, Ive currently got a six cylinder major running on 16.9 30 tyres and I wanted to know what would suit my tractor best, I want something with a depth wheel don't mind 2 or 3 furrow it'l only be used for my own ploughing and there is one local plough...

I'm after some advice on the agriline kits, I have a six cylinder major which i would like to fit with power steering but the engine only got a single pulley but my alternator has a double pulley could I run it with a short belt off alternator or would this not turn pump fast enough ? I may be able ...

Just a nice evening to try out the six cylinder

Good job glad it worked

I made a puller out of a piece of pipe with a nut welded at end and a long bolt and tacked the pipe to brake disc and wind the bolt into shaft cheers kev

Hi all I'm looking for the blanking plate off the d series where the compressor mounts or the power steering, for a 6 cylinder but I believe they were fitted to the 4 cylinders engines used in generators, compressors etc, it's not just a flat plate but it's got a ring that fits in hole to blank off ...

I have got short strips of 6mm welded around tombstone and the rails are pretty hefty so fingers crossed it won't end up in a heap of mess on the floor :D I've made some bracing to rear of tractor as well which is as good as I could do without making it to bulky only time will tell if it's strong en...

I got pm, sorry but they sold now, I think your best plan is to watch ebay but be prepared to pay a lot of money they seem to be sought after cheers Kev

a
Wheels fitted now glad to get rid of the old skinny ones a little bit more paint in the summer and tractor will be finished,

I only want it to be legal if I do a roadrun it probably will only go on the highway once maybe twice a year I haven't heard of any road runs getting stopped by the police, but I tend to drive mine to the meeting place and then drive home after, so we shall see I've asked my. Local vintage club they...

I have an old fordson major that my relative bought from new but the original buff log book has got lost but I still have the original reg number, so I sent it off to dvla using v62 and in the box for chassis number I put the serial number off the little plate on firewall not sure if that's correct ...

My bad, they are 18.4X30 on a 12" rim. My Selene has the same size but those rims have been widened about 6", witch looks wider than they need to be. I'm thinking a 14" or 16" rim would work better. Most tire vendors list a rim size needed for the specific tire on their websites. Pat Thanks pat I t...

Thanks Robert , I've had quite a hard time finding these rims I didn't want to go the route of welding in centres into another wheel. I've had them shot blasted and painted next its tyres 16.9 30 seem impossible to find good secondhand. I can get bkt, or maholtra reasonable. So cheers for the advice...
