The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Hi

I recently came across this site and found it interesting and informative so I decided to sign up. As I see most new users do, I thought I had better introduce myself and our tractors. The first 5000 is the newest addition to the collection, the loader tractor we have had for 15 years, and the 5000 with the snowblower we have had forever. All tractors are in good working order and are used on a regular basis. Sorry for the extra large photos - i'm kinda new to this.

Welcome to the board. What a great lineup of tractors. I think the colours used on your side of the pond suited the tractor very well.

You can adjust the picture size in Photobucket before you post them.



Go to "edit photos" and select "resize". This one is medium.

Nice tractors!
I like the blue and gray paint scheme on the Super Majors, too.

The one with the loader doesn't look like a Super, but I can't tell for sure. Does it have disc or drum brakes?

Welcome to the forum.

Looks like an FMD, JC.

Welcome Aboard Matey. Nice line up of tractors. Dandy Dave!

Very nice indeed.


Pascal:
Looks like a American version from the Sirocco wintercoat.

Great tractors!


Henk,
I had the same thought.

Yes I like the colors and a raised PTO for a super

Do you have any pics of the control system for the front loader?
Would like to add hydraulic to my front bucket

That's some snow blow.
I like the side screens - do they give you a nice warm draught up the trousers legs ?

That's what I thought. I the last picture, it doesn't look like it has gauges under the steering wheel, but the fender is covering just enough that I wasn't sure.

We call that a "Heat Houser" over here.

Thanks for the kind words guys. You are all right, the loader tractor is just a plain Fordson Major Diesel with a tach and hour guage. My dad stuck the "super" sticker on the loader frame as a joke.

Winchester - Here are a few pictures of the loader controls I took a while back. It is a Davis loader with the tank built in to the loader frame. There are a couple of pics showing how we coupled the pump to the front of the engine. Hope they help.








You can see more of them at http://s1046.photobucket.com/albums/b462/2l8iwin/ If you have any more questions, or need more pictures, just let me know.

Those pics was great! Thank you so much :)

Does anyone know if the 'Heat Houser' or anything similar is available in the UK or in Europe, please?
