power major from the injectors i am a complete novice so have no idea what i'm doin

Hello majorgups,

Welcome to this board.
The problem is the rubber seal around the fuel line. You have to place a new one. After a while you will see it’s a common problem. Most of them leak at that place.
Would be nice to see more of the tractor.

Or you could just give it a wipe every time you check the water which should be before you start it every time. You are one luck owner if thats the worst of your problems. Whats the story with this tractor, from the little we can see it has had some TLC!!
Love to see the rest of it, we love checking out each others machinery here.

quick pic of the old girl,

Beautiful, please tell us about this beauty, this is how I want my Power Major to look........

It looks great.

By the look of your engine number it's a november 1960.
So your front wheels and the rear wheel plates are from a New Major.

What a great tractor!
It's indeed a great tractor.

I wouldn/t worry too much about the oil leak.
But if you want to fix it: the leaking part is made of rubber. It's still available nowadays, but perhaps onlyin combination with a head gasket set?
To remove the rubber part, remove the oil cover and try to get out the rubber part together with the injector nozzle.

Good luck

thanks for your help everyone

i do'nt know a great deal about the tractor it looked tidy so i decided to buy it,
it does have an extra original spool/slice valve, which alot do'nt seem to have,
my wheel plates are from a new major what are these and is that good or bad sorry

Majorgups,

I am about the extra valve. Just what I need.

Don't mind the wheel rims and front wheels.
The Power should have three spoke wheels and the rear rim plates of the Power and Super where a lot handier to change the wide of the wheels.
This should be the setup.

Nice Power Major, majorgups!

I don't know if you've noticed, but the oil leak is being dicussed in this thread, too.
