The "shroud" you're talking about is the one for the power and super major, it will not fit on your New Major Diesel without you replacing the fuel tank and steering column with appropriate ones from a power or super major...fergusont20 wrote:Been thinking today, the surround which holds the revs gauge which goes around the fuel tank on later majors, would this piece fit my major? obviously i will need a tacho take off point on whichever engine i use.
And when people extend the bonnets for the six cylinder engines do people use another spare bonnet to cut the extended piece out of?
Hehe... Still, if such an engine is fitted the tractor is mostly for show or pulling, not ordinary work is it now...? I want mine to be usable under normal conditions and a 2700-series engine would be just about enough if I ever get my hands on oneBrian wrote:Don't see many modern turbo 6 cylinders with a power rating of 1400 hp.
That is what was going through a Major gearbox and back end when the tractor was fitted with a Rolls Royce Merlin a few years ago.
It is my experiance that the oil flows from the outside, to the inside of a common filter. Reversing an old paper or cotton cartrige type filter will not make much of a difference unless one end is different than the other. However, reversing the flow from inside to out could cause a problem and have the filter blow apart outward as it is filled with particulates.
