Is it a very late County Super 6 because it has the later engine in it and not the 590E that most were fitted with?? County it is believed bought up a years supply of skid units when Ford announced they were discontinuing production of the Major range, and this enabled this model of County to be pr...

Hi,

I was looking at the drawing of the hydraulic pump and there are only a few seals in there:
2 o -rings: 4,197"id 0,103" thick (partnr 116513-es)

and 1 seal: 11/16'' x 1 1/8'' x 1/4'' (partnr e97-gf-9)

Is this a difficult job and worth looking at? Anyone done this before?

Thanks very much Mathias, I would say that's early 74 but not easy to tell with what I know about Ebro at the moment. Do you have the exhauster type pump? If not you could have used the normal minimec unit. Do you have the number under injector no. 4 and casting codes too (Chris' pics show their lo...

argh update on this one. There is a small crack in the cilinder head which causes the leak of coolant. I replaced the rubbers on the breather pipe and so far so good. And for the gearbox seals. I did manage to replace the PTO seal in the gearbox, but same result. This means it's splitting time. I've...

this thread has been a while. I'm almost at the end of the job.
Engine has been fully rebuild and new clutch is installed.
Just need to put the engine back in the tractor and reinstall radiator and stuff.
Did take a lot of pictures, will post them when I got it all done.

no tacho on my tractor with ebro engine. my engine number is *180924*
You need to know the nut sizes probably 5/8" on both sides?
There are cables that go to 1,75meter. Maybe you can move the tacho a bit closer to the engine?

The dexta is looking good, to me the priceseems fine too. Goodluck tomorrow

Ricardo,

if arms are slowly dropping, changing pump will not be the solution.
You can always test the pump with a pressure gauge

Bob,

is it smoking a lot, like burning oil?

When was the last time you dit an oil change?

Happy new year and a late merry christmas!
We have been a few days away on holiday

period correct drill I would say

I have the first print of the sales brochure 11/51 "By Appointment to His Majesty King George VI" with the flat drawbar and flick over brake latch and there is no mention of the raised PTO as an optional extra in that. I have the first print of the operator's manual January 1952 again with the flat...

Yeah knob in and the lever as far as possible sounds right to me

I did take another look at this today, as i have aroad run tomorrow (last one for this year). First i Did retorque all head bolts. Then i found out there is a crack just above the inlet manifold. There was some water dripping out. Just wondering if it is possible to weld or I need to look for anothe...

Wow you have been busy.
Need to ckeck if the oil scrapers, they might have done sime damage to the cilinder bore.
Are you going to refurbish the head also?
I m working on a simular engine now. And I m also doing the rear crank seal. It just seems to hold down the crank from spinning.

Were the Super 6's not supposed to come standard with a booster cylinder?

Yes assistor rams were available. Don't know if all were fitted with them.
They used a sort of bridge connection between the arm and linkage. I don't think they changed the lifting arms.

Looks like the ones of the 5000 will fit.

Yep, for standard axles it will fit, the heavy duty ones not.
Emiel, will you go to Dongen this friday?

Hi, I’ve other duties on Friday I’m afraid. What’s going on in Dongen? A ford gathering?

I’ve done some super rear axles in the past where I needed to modify the seal housings due to the exact same problem. Just cut of the exces part and have no further notice. Did work for me and it sealed also. I assumed it were heavy duty ones as well. Couldn’t get the right type of seal for these o...

Notice that my axle has a little diamond. This might be the not so standard heavy duty axle.
this picture is the one I put on the Super 4

Thanks for your replies that photo is exactly the same as mine with the collar attached to the shaft. Can I ask how you modified the seal to fit as it won’t go far enough onto the shaft to fit about almost 10mm further out to the other side with the standard super major shaft on. I did cut off the ...

Picture of one of my tractors.
I did need to modify the new seal to fix it
I can not see where the extra collar is used

Can you make a picture of the other side?
I see the old seal in the background, it looks like a normal seal to me.

Hi Dave,

has been a while. tractor is still looking good.

New functionality in the board Mathias? Or am I mistaken?

Emiel, it is here quite some time, but never used a lot so far
