Not posted any pictures of my fordsons in action this year so below are a couple which prove they can still do a days work!

1) Loading up with 1959 Power Major (and towing with my old 1952 landrover)
Image

2) Turning using 1955 diesel major and acrobat hay rake (works well on straw if swath not too big)
Image

3) Baling using 1957(ish) live drive diesel major which has an early 60's super major engine I believe and a sta-dri cab (which isnt very easy to get in and out of)
Image

4) At speed on the A4 bath road between Marlborough and Hungerford shortly before turning off through the Savernak forest onto quieter roads!

Fun in the Sun! Nice to see the Fordson fleet doing what they were built to do. :D Sure wish it was summer here. Does you Land rover use the same distributor cap as the petrol Major? I think I remember Brian mentioning something about that some of them had the same cap, rotor, and parts. Dandy Dave!
