Ok but should it not be possible to simply turn the diff. Around ?


On roadless there is a extension axle for the pto ,
Do they also use that on selene , when the 4 wd box is not so
thick ?

Thanks .

got any experience in reversing the drive on the axles ??

Anybody got a diagram/picture/drawing of a selene / roadless frontaxle on a super major, diff. bearings etc.


also anybody know where to get new gaskets and sealings ??

Yes it is longer than normal ,30 cm longer .

So I have to convert that to , even thoug that mine also
is a 6 cyl ,mine has the normal oil pan .

I was also thinking about cutting and welding the axel
to make it shorter .

I can see many roadless tractors has the frontwheels
turned for wider track , should i just bee satisfied with
the wider axle i can buy ?

Thanks for the reply. But a roadless tractors frontaxel is shortned so that the wheelhubs has the same width as the rear end (153 cm c-c, outer frontwheel 163 cm )) And the left joint is mounted directly on the diff. Housing This one is wider , so the outerside of the front wheels are the same as th...

Hi Anybody know how many types of transforboxes And frontaxles there are for roadless major (super major) ? I am about to buy a set , but the axel is wider than the Ones i normaly see ,and transferbox is smaller. Could it be a selene ? http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z322/weber40/Mobile%20Upload...

Hi

I'm looking for new decals to my n/p super major -
But cant seem to find any that looks right .
either they are yellow!!!!!! And silver ( that i realy dont understand ), or dont have
the right shape



Anybody know were to find good copyes ?

Ok thanks ,

Yes, the ratio changed in the 1963 New Performance Supers to give more gears at PTO speed. We had one customer who we had to swap crown wheel and pinion every ploughing season to the 4.4 ratio and then, in Spring back to the 3.3. With all Roadless it is the front tyre size that matters and, in theo...

Ok thanks

But if the roadless come from a 61 super major ,
And put on a 62 rear end, then the ratio should be correct.

Since the ratio dont change until 63 (n/p grey blue )
Am i not correct ?

Ok ,but is the transfer box not mounted after the transmission ?

hi

on the super major ,there is different gear-ratios. Before 1963 ratio (orange blue) and after 1963(n/p) where it wass 4,375-1 and optional 3,5-1 .

does that give any problem if I want to put it together with a roadless kit ??

It looks like you have found a Danish conversion made under
the name "Skovgaard" they where also made as 4 wd
versions as both equal and unequal wheeled like county and
roadless.

ok , I can . and the rear end i in the set also

they will fit Ford 1000 series, i have some just like Them

Hi

I have found me a roadless 4 wd. Frontaxel ,wheels ,shaft and transferbox.

what is a fair price for this ?

£1000 ?

Ok ,I am sure it is ferguson, there a mf 65 and 35 on the farm
where the cultivator is.

Ransomes is rare in my area , so i was just hoping it was the same

yes but is it the same as FR implement

it lookes like this one . i belive it is sold as ferguson, but could it be the same as those sold with ford/fordson ??

Thank you

so even the cultivator is ferguson grey , it should be the same as a Fordson Ransomes?

Nobody knows ?

Hi
Did Ransomes only make machinery for Fordson , or were they also in ferguson colour ?
The reason I'm asking is that I saw a ransomes looking spring tine cultivator but the colour looked grey .

In my Forson literature the rear tires came in a choice of optional sizes. From what I have seen, both are right. With so few hours I believe I would leave the tractor alone myself also. Nice find. :D Dandy Dave! Thanks Dandy Dave. in my instruktion book for the traktor both tire sizes are shown , ...
