Looking very good. Have a look at Billy's mudguard (

Looks good. Billy's mudguard was worse, but I thought you should see it so you can try and get it as good as possible however you try it. You're doing it the easy way, so you should easily get it done quickly. The boxes are point welded to the main plate. Ensure you allow for the earth connection for the side light.

What you've done so far looks great, just keep at it, you saw how long it took us to do Billy's mudguard.

Hi guys,
It's been really wet here for the last month but finally put a bit of paint on some of the 60 model Fordson parts.
I ended up taking the rops of the 54 model and am planning of taking the post hole digger off the 54 also and putting on the 60 model. Also scored a cheap jib that I will be putting on. Here's some photo,s. Slowly but surely. I also have had it running and it runs sweet. The diesel filters and lines were leaking everywhere.

Looking good, but not like a Farm Major. You'll need to get the missing badge, the wheatsheaf is the second colour (you seem to have got a very poor repro one, you might find a decent original one in a scrapy, although I would refit the original one). Your top link bracket is upside down.

Thanks Sandy. I wouldn't have picked up on the top link bracket. Just using bits from the 54 model. If I come across another farm major badge I will put them on

Hey Sandy,
What should the badge on front look like?
Flipped the top link.

That looks far better.
Here's a pic of the badge used from 1957 to 1963
and the early one used from 1951 to 1957.
