My Brothers New Tractor

Post by Steven B »

My Brother Robert has finely succumbed and bought a Super Major. Bought at a sale, Six tractors listed, three Super Majors, one Diesel Major one late live drive Diesel Major and a Dexta. All working tractors on a orchid in Sheprerton, Victoria. This tractor is extra special because it's serial number is 180 under my restored Super. That means they where built either on the same shift or consecutive shifts.

That's a good looking Super, Steve. It seems like there's a lot of nice Fordsons in your neck of the woods.

The temptation is very strong. I am trying to ignore the voice in my head. :twisted:

Hello Steve you have a few nice toys.I would like to know if you know a local (Australia I am in WA) supplier where I can get some of the wheel clamps that hold the rim onto the steel weight that bolts onto the axle. I have the same wheel setup as on the tractor in this post.
Regards
Steve

Nice tractor Steve,

Seems like you are running out of sheds.

Has she been painted? If not, please keep her the way she is.
Kind regards, Henk

Youre right Henk,

I wish mine had the original paint.

We were born in the wrong place I think
