Hi

does anyone have an idea of the approx value of the E1A engine (E1ADDN), which was fitted to the Fordson majors?

I have one in very good condition. Mine was built in 1966 - date stamp on block.

It is the industrial variant, which as far as I know is the same as the engines, which went into the tractors (please correct me if I am wrong).

The industrial variant had a decompression lever on the rocker cover (has been removed on mine - don't think engines, which went into tractors had this? ).

It has the 'FL' head and the Simms minimec pump. It does NOT have the pneumatic govenor or the throttle rod running through the block.

It also has more vanes on the fan (6) than on tractor models, which I think only had two(?)

The Pump is not a Minimec, it is a Simms GM and it is an older model of mecanical governor that don´t normally have the FL head. The oilpan and the front mountingplate has to be changed before it fits into a Major.
