Three Point Hitch Arms Fit?

Hey guys n gals, do any of you know if the three point hitch arms from a power major (or any other model of Fordson) would fit on a 1961 super major?

I have a chance to buy a complete tractor for parts, but I believe it to be a power major, and I have a super major.

The linkage will fit but it is not the same as a Super. Different link arms and lower links. You won't have dual category implement balls.

Hi the top link bracket that is missing from your tractor is also different. I still have to get out to my parts super its been so wet here in Manitoba. The guy who's land its on said you cant even walk to it at the moment.

Thanks for the replies guys, I just wanted to post a picture I have of it, and again wanted to triple check that pieces from this tractor (particularly the 3 point hitch stuff) wont (or more hopefully will!) work for my tractor!

Thanks again too Robert, if this deal will not work, i will definatly be hounding ya haha. Its been pretty wet here too but for the past few days we have had a JD 9610 out in our oats field, so it must be getting dryer!

He would like that in his own collection.

Regards Robert

That is a rather nice Fordson Major Diesel not a Power Major. It would be a shame to break her to build a Fordson ASP.

None of the parts would be right for a Super Major and you will have destroyed an original tractor.

I agree with Brian and Super, to good of condition to break for parts. What is wrong with the Major?

Im not sure whats wrong with it, but its for sale for CHEAP and says its for parts. If the parts would have fit, i would have no problem parting this one out! (you guys hate me now dont ya?:D)

Unfortunately, I dont really need a complete project as i have a few others that are much much more rare then a major, I had just wanted this one to get the 3 point hitch arms I am missing, so i can use some 3 point hitch equipment, thanks again for all the replies!

Wished I was closer to you, I have a Major in parts and do not believe I will ever use the lift arms. I believe shipping would cost too much because of the weight but it might save a nice looking Major. Anyway good luck on your projects.
