    Starting problems Power Major

    I second Majorman's opinion. WD 40 is not a lubricant, and actually not a penetrant, it is a moisture displacer. ATF is a good light lubricant, and cleaner for gummed up pumps. You might want to go up to the Tractor Talk section, and ask for DieselTech. Sims pumps and those injectors aren't...

    Jonsered chain saw

    Sounds to me like an honorable man. I would never be insulted by someone offering to pay me for something, just justified that I have given it to someone deserving.

    Tools Explained

    LOVE IT !!! :LOL: Especially the hammer. Lost my temper once, when I was much younger. Threw my ball peen at the garage door, it bounced off the door, hit and broke the ceramic laundry sink, then hit the positive plug on my brand new welder and broke the insulation off. I haven't thrown a...

    Tool Prices....

    It even happens to Snap On, I have had the chrome peel on some of their end wrenches, and it will slice you like a razor blade. My Snap On 1/4" flex head gave out at about 6 months, and my old Proto has been going for over twenty years, so there are no absolutes.

    Ignition switch 0n 83 mustang GT

    Ford had problems with the Dura Spark II ignition modules. To start with they would shut down when warm, and fire back up by the time a mechanic could get there. Eventually they would fail altogether. I used to carry one under the seat of my truck(I drove and 80 F 150) just in case, and twice...

    Help identifying a super major

    The differential lock pedal indicates Super Major( , as do the white wheels and fenders(late model). The original grille shell was probably badly damaged, and someone found a good Power Major shell, and put the Super Major grilles into it. I don't know if the PM hydraulic top cover worked on...

    Fordson Major loader

    I did some searching and found references to 345s being mounted on 560 and 460 Farmalls. So depending on the adapters for attaching to the rear axles housings(length), if you are handy with a torch and welder, you should be able to adapt it. You will probably have to make front mounting...

    FORDSON POWER MAJOR IDENTIFICATION

    Fordson Major was first of the series, about 35 hp. Easily identified by the throttle control being low and to the right of the gauge panel. Power Major, if I remember correctly, about 43 up. Gauges right below the steering wheel, throttle control right below the steering wheel. Super Major...

    Fixing a Pitted Lower bore

    We had a couple of Fordson Majors (in our own lease fleet) that had etched out behind the O ring, middle of pea harvest season. The gentleman I worked for had me clean out the grooves, to the best of my ability, ,he then dipped small cotton balls in non hardening Permatex, shoved them into the...

    Fordson Major loader

    Sherman, Superior and Du All all made loaders that fit the Majors, but it's too far back in my memory bank to remember model numbers.

    short block for a fordson dexta

    You might want to address your question to Majorman. I seem to remember him saying the Dexta engine is NOT a Perkins, but I don't remember the particulars.
