Fordson Major Roadless Tyre combinations ?

Post by Mike H »

First off a big hello to all :D first time on the forum and hoping to glean some info from you learned gents...
Can anyone help with the tyre combinations for the roadless major as i would like to put on the smaller diameter wheel with the wider tyre but I am unsure of the size required to prevent wind up whilst in 4 wheel drive ? also looking for info on where to get the second pulley for the front of the engine which in turn drives the power steering pump.
any help greatly appreciated...... thanks in advance

Front 9,5*24 and at the rear is 16,9*30 the smaller diameter and wider tyre option.

On mine there is front 11.2 / 24 back 18.4 / 30

there are some power steering units driven by one belt pulley with a longer belt

I think the part number you are looking for is E11 LD9 may be a local NH dealer can help you with that
