Your Opinion Please

Can't decide which pair of wheels i like to paint and use. Also is there any history between the different rims. is one of a different model or older

Thanks

Hi Tiger,

The left rim is for a E27N and New Major; the right rim is newer and belongs to a Power and Super Major.

The badge on the side of your bonnet looks like the one of a Power major.
Than I would take the right rim.

But a Super4 would be a good idea too!

Thanks, and am i right in thinking the centre of the wheel on the right is mounted the wrong side of the brackets.

Tiger,

The instruments are missing on the tank so this is a new major. Therefore the rear wheels.

Also does anybody know if these engine kits are any good.

Thanks Chris

Chris,
The wheels that are on your tractor are the same as I have on one of my New (not Power or Super) Majors.
I don't know about the quality of the engine kit, but if you have a Mark 1 engine (before serial number 1425097), the wrist pins will be the wrong size, and the intake and exhaust gaskets won't fit.

I just went back and looked at some of your old posts. Your casting codes date your Major as Sept. 1957, and I think I can see a breather on the timing cover, so you should have a Mark II engine, and that engine kit looks like the right one.

The wheel rims can be mounted on either side of the dish depending on what wheel width settings you want.

Thanks all, I think i will refurb the original wheels as you have all said and sell the others when i have finished with them.
