This has probably been covered many times but i couldnt see the dat to cover my fordson. Its got several numbers in locations for each of the parts but the engine is a k16v. Just reading other posts and i sort of figure it to be August 16 1954? Is this correct? Also my handbrake is not connected. Could you help in describing how to attach. Also a brake overhaul since i have to stand on them to stop. It makes it hard living in the hills when you always have to park against a tree or rock etc Cheers for any help.

Welcome to the board. You are correct with your date and your serial number should be behind the starter.

Your handbrake should be a transmission brake into the gearbox or do you mean the brake latch "T" handle near the brake pedals? This just links to a pawl that goes on a ratchet fitted to the side of the pedal under the foot plate.
