Plastic hole inserts

Post by Dan-dan100 »

Hi, I understand that ford used plastic inserts on holes that were not used on majors, to prevent the holes becoming blocked. I have a number of these on the major, although some are missing and Ihave seen that when people have restored there majors, they have left missing blanks out, which can look odd.

Have looked online but just wondering if anyone has found these for sale, in preparation for the painting in the future.

New plugs are sold on e-bay. Look under Fordson in Agriculture.
Fordson Tractor Pages, now officially linked to: Fordson Tractor Club of Australia, Ford and Fordson Association and Blue Force.

Hi brain thanks for the advice sorry to be a real pain, have looked on eBay under agricultural but cannot seem to find anything. There wouldn't be a specific name for them? Or could I potentially be searching it wrong?

Many thanks
