Re: N model Grader?
Thank you Frank, I was hoping to have something that looks fairly original, I know some starters have a sleve that the pinion gear slides out on, but i guess I would have to be lucky to get one to fit? I do not know which flywheel it has yet so I should remove the blanking plate and have a look. The...

Re: Late Super Major injection pump rev counter drive
Would it be easier to drive the tach off of the auxiliary drive, like the earlier Majors? The situation was that I was trying to have it look externally original and use the standard cable and if I drive it from the front, the cable will be 300 mm too short with my 6cy engine. The availabliity of a...

Re: N model Grader?
No there is not a grader in those parts, that is one half of the picture and only some of us can see the other half for some reason, I can't see the other half myself! I have managed to work out a bit more on this grader, It has PW 15 stamped into the main front beam this will mean main Roads number...

Re: pump govenor
Hello, yes these pumps do seem to be very similar, I would ask your local fuel injection service centre, if you can find old time personell with the experience. The governors between the 1963, 1965 and K series are interchangable as I have recently had these apart, so there is a good possibility tha...

Re: Late Super Major injection pump rev counter drive
Hello and thank you very much for those pictures, it helps a lot. I had been thinking the rotation could well be different and It was the late ( Mimtec ) type that I was referring to. Good to know about those "original " repo tachos. I think my Idea of drilling a hole in the end of the shaft would w...

Hello everyone, Yesterday I picked up Grader I think it could be a model N going by the earlier diff type. The engine number is R18403 this appears to have been struck out and another number 823037 stamped underneath it. I have wondered if the engine had been replaced with an earlier one and the old...

Tophat, your problem could be the air cleaner. This summer I took the air cleaner assembly off of the Super six and cleaned it out really good in the parts washer (mineral spirits). I reinstalled, started the tractor, topped off the power steering fluid and a checked a few other things, I then hopp...

Hi 1962 model: one of the banjo fittings was broken: i resoldered it in place but there is no diesel as yet bleeding back from the port hole on the head.

Re: Fordson major modern starter conversion
Hello,
a bit off subject, but if anyone is looking for a conventional solanoid starter for their Fordson, the later Thames Trader, and the K series models are a source of second hand starters, D series is a possibility too.
