The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

yeah it has disc brakes and diff lock pedal and it has the brake catch, it just dont have a trans brake or never has nor has a place for one , i asked the owner about it and he said when he bought it he asked the previous owner and he said it had always been like it. so i was just wondering was it a...

Hi all just been to see a super major thats for sale off a neighbour, and noticed where the transmission brake is normally found, There isnt one there and no place for one just a circle on the casting, did they sell supers without one or has some body changed the gearbox? or is it not even a super m...

I believe you can ream the king pin bushes using the king pin itself as it has the splined bit on the top just wind it up through, i did it using agriline bushes.

Looks good

Don't sound good Probably going to need a rebuild, but at least you will have a good engine after

good photo that crane looks good does that power off your tipper pipe.

I dont think u would want any play if its just been rebuilt, I cant find your pictures

[quote="thestig246"]many thanks im so glad i found this forum i can tell you guys are going to be a big help!!
i am from leominster, in hereforshire UK. is there anyone that uses the forum from these parts??

yeah im not far from hereford myself and im in the middle of an engine rebuild,

Bit of an update, Been using the winch quite a bit lately since the ground has dried up :) I need to buy my self some chokers as iv'e only got a couple of chain's which are very heavy. So if any one got some they want to sell i may be interested :wink: http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j450/woodcu...

I have turned the and shortened the wishbone and made a bracket that bolts to the tomb stone and then made a steel toolbox that hides it all. I didn't have the height under the sump to get both axle pin and wishbone pin inline. seems to work ok, but i think the way brian's pictures shows is neater I...

I was going to do that with a ram, But i didn't have any suitable rams lying around. And by using the lift arm seemed a lot less fab work, and cheap do you remember how much that winch sold for.

I use a home made log splitter

my brother made a video of us winching yesterday but quality was pretty low I'm not sure what that frame is for on the back of freds major, is it just to firm up the rear mudguards maybe

I got to test the winch out today and it did it's job well, I had a large ash tree to take down which had a bit of rot in it. And a couple of others around it. http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j450/woodcutter3/DSCF3016.jpg http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j450/woodcutter3/DSCF3011.jpg http://i...

Yeah this weekend I sell firewood and i have some large trees that are down on a steep bank which need winching up and a friend of mine has an old bulldozer stuck so iv'e got to rescue that if the ground ever dries up.

I drilled a hole in the old draw bar and made it a tight fit and welded it to the arm and boxed it in, I kept the original arms as they were a bit good to get butchered but a neighbour gave me some that weren't so, I was going to leave it with no arm on the right but as i had a spare i just cut the ...

I made an extension on the lift arm, Like the one in ben's photos and it works really well
The extension piece was an old ih434 draw bar, Just the job

Good pictures, Just what i needed thanks for putting them on :D Im going to need to make something to pick mine up. that looks a simple way of doing it, I had planned on a complicated linkage set up :idea: which probly would not of worked, or just a hydraulic ram off the tipper pipe. I shall put sum...

I gave him a ring but i did'nt quite get how he's made the arm, to lift the spades up so if any one knows how it's done. Could you send me a picture of how it connect's to the hydraulic arm And some measurements

this is a boughton winch i have on a major, Can any one tell me any thing about it? how old would it be, what would its rated pull be. It says hdf25 on the side. Ive got the spades which are heavy i thought you could pull them back up with the winch, But once folded up the rope need's to be undernea...

yeah a boughton two speed it says hdf 25 on the side, not sure what it means though ive only tried it on a couple of trees and it seemed to have ample pull for what i need, spades are a bit heavy i could do with a little winch behind the seat to pull them up.

You could probably tell me more is it an 0813, These are the numbers off the plate. 826f7fba 8/f/83, It came out of a cargo lorry and has a bosch pump

This is a tractor i bought as an unfinished project after a lot of work through the summer its about finished :) I bought the winch off a ford 5000 and had to modify back plate but all went together well. http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j450/woodcutter3/27092011286.jpg http://i1086.photobucket.c...

I have a 6 cylinder major with dual clutch no problems yet, I bought it as an unfinished project it's sort of finished but it's not quite the quality as yours
