The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

as the title says I am a little curious about what my major has been used before , I think it has been driven with truck tower






Its a bit rusty , but there is metal behind ...

I would guess that it is a support platform for a PTO driven pump or generator. It must have been something pretty substantial judging from the ruggedness of the support frame!

mybe some sort of sub frame for a back actor digger or winch youll probley never know
sky blue

an air compressor possibly?

Now i finaly got the time to spend on her


Got the frame of her and pulled of the hydraulic top cover


The oil i drained was brown with lots of water


What the hell is a danish coin doing in my hydralic topcover???


The oil filter from the engine died several years ago... part of the outer shell is missing

Some evil guys must have owned this tractor before i got it

Maybe it was for a back actor on wheels. I forget the brand, but I did see an old 1950ish one at a show a number of years ago. The upper plates look like foot rests. The seat would have been part of the back actor. The heavy draw bar would have been a must as a normal drawbar would not have put up with the beating a ruff operator would have given it. The pump would have mounted to the PTO. Another thought would be a crop sprayer that also had a PTO pump. Dandy Dave!

Hi,

The coin has been used to increase the pressure in the hydraulic system. It does this by giving the pressure relief valve spring additional compression. The spring is under the circular disc with the tapped centre hole.

Maybe this indicates that what was on the back of the tractor needed more pressure than was initially available.

The seat is a normal one, so i don't think there have been a back actor on it, also the frame didn't go futher than to the gearbox...

Mayby a forklift???

Okay thanks for the answer

I think im removing it, i don't need the extra pressure

Now i finaly worked on the fordson again, the delay i think it must have been too much sun and beer

I made a tool to take off the outer bearing on the backaxel

Great idea

I just looked at the original tool in the manual and copy pasted

Great piece of kit!

I did use your advice with the jack to push the axel out of the housing and that worked like charm

Are you going to replace the bull pinion seals and rebuild the brake drum assemblies? I've got some photos of the these operations if you'd like to see them. The spring assembly on the brake shoes can be a little confusing - what I mean is, it confused me the first time I did it!

Hi adrian

Thanks

What work will you put the mean machine to when she's up and running again, Kenneth?

Hi sorry for the delay answer

She's going to move building materials, move snow, woodchipper, and a lot of other small things

You just can't Idle it around all the time. You need to put it to work every once in a while plowing, disking, or topping. Something that puts a decent steady load on it. The rings will get sticky if you do not work it from time to time. Dandy Dave!

I think the snow will give it some challenge... we have about 1/2 meter high snow in winter we have to remove in a distance of 1/2 kilometre sometimes more than one time of the day

I dont have any soil i can plow

Now im finaly got the back axels back in place and made a tool to preload the bearing with 5 Nm



Have replaced all the orings and bonded seals in the hydraulic block



These holes in the hydraulic piston which way should they point up or down or dosn't matter

Does not matter which way the holes go.

Hi a small question

I was working on my hydraulic top cover and discovered this "oring" on the shaft for the lifting arms



Mine fordson didn't have lifting arms installed so i opened my partlist to see where this would fit when the arms is coming on
discovered that in the partlist its a standart oring there is fitted but cant see what size it is



which oring are im going to use???

EDIT.: Found out the Square ring fits perfectly in the housing
