Jerry wrote on Thursday, August 15, 2013 (PDT):Any injection pump shop should be able to rebuild your pump. Make sure they use the right settings. There is a 7.5mm pump and there is an 8mm pump. if they use the wrong settings it will smoke bad enough to kill all the mosquitoes for miles. both the 56 and the 58 should be the larger 8 mm pump. John, look for a Ford 220 diesel. They are still made today for overseas use.

Bill Pearson wrote on Thursday, March 31, 2011 (PDT):The tractor is a ZB or ZA_Model-Special it was made the last year of Z production in 1955-56 If my memory is correct. It had everything you could want, Power stearing heaver brakes, everything but a 3 point hitch. Minneapolis Moline changed models that next year and introduced the 335 445 which was an all new tractor with an all new Hydralic system with a draft sinceing 3 point hitch, made by Cesna aircraft. Both of the new tractors had a different feel, like driving a Ford tractor. I rember that their was a change of ownership,or management at this time in the Company. My father was a MM dealer from 1938 to 1976. I was 10 when the new models came out I rember the company gave away motor bikes and sewing machines with a new tractor.

Daryl Hahm wrote on Tuesday, November 30, 2010 (PST):cable fix on this tractor for select o shift.. I like a few have found this cable hard to find at best. the cable usualy brakes at the junction. well burn off both ends with a torch careful not to burn off cable. fit both ends in a vice and begin to braze with very low heat I mean real low dont rush work brass into 3/8 inch of the cable on both sides of junction. this is one time you add far more then you need. after you have admired your worst braze job get your file a beverage and some working music. I filed both sides and center area down until I was at the steel cable. once you have filed the repair area down to fit the guide tube make sure tube is streight lube and slide the cable back into the tube. put your tractor back together and go to work. for those who say this cant be done your are welcome to check mine out as this is now the strongest part of my shift system. Do avoid any bends at the base end of the guide tube as your repair isnt flexable.

ED R . wrote on Monday, December 28, 2009 (PST): Dating the MH . Look under the tractor, just forward of the transmission housing on most you will find a date in the casting. That is the date that casting was made.As a general rule the tractor was built one year later .This date was omitted in later models , probably 1954/ 55. also the later MHF models 333-444 did not have it. also there is a book MASSEY FERGUSON TRACTORS by MICHAEL WILLIAMS -ISBN 0 71371898 6- THAT HAS EVERY SERIAL NO OF EVERY TRACTOR BUILT , BY MODEL AND YEAR This book is out of print but there may be some around . check the internet. this book was first printed in 1987 in england by blanford press.

Peter Clark wrote on Sunday, November 08, 2009 (PST):I am currently restoring a 1963 Super Dexta. I live in Centurion, a suburb of Pretoria and have sourced around 5 partial tractors including a 1960 standard Dexta with a F3/144 engine.My late father was the owner of the first unit sold in South Africa in 1959 and it wa operaional until 1995. South African Dextas all have cast iron front wheel rims and I believe they are unique. The castings wer produced by an engineering firm in Port Elizabeth and carry a marking DEXTA Made in South Africa . I believe that the reason for this was to afford the FordMotor Company of South Africa tax breaks based on weight proportion of loclly added parts such as tyres, wheels and weights. It is very difficult to source parts here and that is the reason I have decided to buy up all possible scrapped nits that I can locate. I am busy compiling a data base of usable spares in my collection.

Eric wrote on Wednesday, December 12, 2007 (PST):My wife and I bought a fordson major diesel about 1.5 year ago from her grandmother. we recently had a tire on the rear of it go flat and to dry rotted to fix the size on it was 13.6-38 and used truck tires on the front size 215-85-16 we were wondering if this it the right size for it. While we have the tires off of it we are having the rims sandblasted so we can repaint them, we were also wondering what is the correct color of paint for the rims on this tractor What is the correct color of blue for the tin work The closest year that I have been able to come up with is 1954, but if you have any good idea of how to find out the actual year or where I can find the numbers to figure it out I would appreciate it. The tractor also had a loader on it that we are not going to put it back on for hopes of someday restoring it in the future. We are located in Illinois Thanks for your help.

Kris Massey wrote on Sunday, October 28, 2007 (PST):I got a hold of a 1959 881 sos for free!! Guy told me that the trans was bad but everything else works. I got it home did a tune-up on the engine and rebuilt the carb. Engin runs great but like the guy said bad trans, or was it I found the main pressure supply tube to the valve body was broke and the strut to band #1 was in the bottom of the trans. After tig welding the tube back together since they are no longer availble and adjusted the bands I still couldn t get the old beast to move. I could hear all of the servo s working and the three planetary gear sets working as I would shift through the speeds. So I decided to remove the axel coupling access cover and found that the lever on the panel was not in contact with the coupling. So I repaired that and put the tractor back together and was able to drive the tractor out of the garage and around the yard. Thats all I could since I had to put the rest of the tractor back together, but just the trip around the farm was a great ride. Now I have a New Holland tractor as well but having an old vintage tractor for free is awesome!!! I love my 881!!
Dan March wrote on Monday, October 15, 2007 (PDT):I have my dads very first tractor he ever bought an AC-B . One of my very first memories of my dad and I spending time together was time on that big-little B-tractor. I was in high-school before I got around to doing anything with that tractor, but finely did get it running and loved every minute of it. After that, I ended up being hooked on Allis Chalmers Tractors. The very first tractor on the farm that my Grate Grandfather was able to afford was an AC-WC. Many years later, my Grandfather purchased an AC-WD45. Growing up I have many fond memories of on that WD45, making Hay in the summer, collecting sap in the snow for Maple Syrup, and fire wood when ever we had time to do it. Now with my Grandfather gone for some time and my dad with his small fleet of Case Tractors, the WD has been greatly neglected. But good news for the old Allis, I inherited it. She needs allot of work, new rebuilt engine, new rims and tires and some other small items that would make it a real prize on my Wife and I s farm. But after trying to get some info to fix it, I have found that I don t know as much about that tractor as I thought. Like were the best place to get good parts, or what Torque to Wheel Rating it has. If any on could help me out to get started, It would be greatly appreciated. Also would like to know what the Torque to Wheel Rating the WC and the B has also.

Frank Fry. wrote on Tuesday, October 24, 2006 (PDT):Having just aquired a 1956 fordson major tractor with original log book, I found this site whilst looking for information on it. The story of this tractor goes as follows. Last week I had to go to an engineering yard just outside of Bristol to collect some thing else whilst there I saw this old tractor tucked away in the corner of their yard. I asked what was happening with it, I was told that the whole site had been sold for housing and everything was being srapped. I said the tractor is being scrapped as well ? They said yes we are waiting for the scrap people to arrive. Anyway I gave them £20.00 for their tea & coffee put it on a trailer and took it home. It needed a starter and 3 light bulbs, and it started up as sweet as anything. There is no rust or damage to it whatsoever it also has a front loading bucket. The starter cost me £120 and the bulbs £1 each, I think I may have done quite well.

I agree, the wheels were orange, I do not recall if they were cast or formed steel, to my knowledge there are not any pictures of our Fordson Major, not that I can get hold of anyway. The Major was close to handling most of the loads our 1950 IH MD did, when the pull got tough, the MD had to take over.There were not many Majors around, there were a lot of AC WD-45s. The WD-45 was a very nice tractor, lots of features. But, was over rated, AC just tried to get too much from it.There were lots of tractor pulls, mostly out in the fields but, some organized at fairs, etc. The Major always out pulled the WD-45 quite a lot. I would like to find a Major about a 1952, also would like to know about what the list price of that tractor was in 1952.

Did a complete rebuild from crank and bearings new on up. Parts for motor still on market for the 134 cube motor. SOS tranny worked fine on this one, the gas tank was rusted and crapped out so we bought a reconditioned tank that had a liner blown into it and it was as good as a new tank. This one was red and grey but had gold paint on base almost like primer. It also had a Golden Jubilee emblem in the front of the hood. I heard that was 1953 the anniversary for Ford tractor 50 years out. Great tractor to mow,rake,bale,bushhog,cultivate,ditch,it worked nice with the almost automatic tranny and watched the neighbors getting gears and jamming clutches in shift combat. Traded it in last year restored for a 1997 6200 JD with cab and modern features, it was time for us to move out of the 1950,era. Ron's Equipment in Ft.

I have put in several of these comments on other sites with no success. I'm like all the rest of you. Its a great tractor and I have several dollars wrapped up in it on restore and have enjoyed taking it to shows, just to have someone say. Why did you paint that Ford green? Reflects that I don't live in Oliver country. If some one knows please contact me, and good luck on finding parts. One other comment. I recently converted my super 55 to 12v with the help of the artical in Yesterdays tractor, it was a sinch and the best thing I could have done to it. Thanks JD.

Cockshutt sold both Allis Chalmers tractors amd Oliver thractors under its name in its history. My Father had two Chockshutt 99 and I still have the newest one in my storage shed. It was an Oliver 99 painted Cockshutt red and with Cockshutt cast in the upper radiator tank. Oliver had Oliver there and was painted green. There were an number of Cockshutt tractors in this area of Canada (East of Calgary) and were all Olivers models 70, 80, 90 and 99. In the late 1940's Chockshut built it's own tractor the model 30. It was a nice little tractor but without some of the features Ford had such as a three point hitch. Because of this and it's size it was not a big seller in this area. I am looking for parts for my Cockshutt99/Oliver99 such as a rebuilt Marvel Shebler carbureator and a generator.

Jim from Akron, NY wrote on Monday, March 08, 2004 (PST):What a great site. My wife and I own a 1960 2010 with a narrow front end. I should say my wife owns it. When she and her ex-husband split up, he got the washer and drier and she got the tractor. She absolutly loves it and even calls it "Big John". It was the primary tractor on our small horse farm doing everything from spreading manure and mowing hay to clearing snow and bush hogging. It lost oil pressure in the fall of 2003 so I decided it was time to finally overhaul the engine. I'm having a little trouble finding parts and everything, if available, has to be special ordered. It seems that the engine is unique to the 1010 and 2010 only. The latest problem was finding the engine sleeves. Only the 2010 has the sleeves and the top engine plate as one assembly. I finally found one in Michigan from a dealer who had one for years by mistake. I hope this is the last roadblock to getting the tractor back together because spring is coming and I need it to do hay! Although I've had my problems with it, I chalk them up to age more than poor design. I think it's a great tractor and fills our needs better than any of the more popular small Fords or IHs.

Kent Dacke wrote on Friday, October 17, 2003 (PDT):I was looking for a tractor with a loader when I found (stumbled) onto my Super 55. It was a late 1958. It came with optional power steering, front and rear hydrolics with fluid control and of course an Oliver loader. I improved the iginition system by replacing the coil, points and condensor by installing electronic igintion from Genessee Products for less than $100.00. I highly recommend doing this to any point operated machine. It now saves the starter motor and a few choice words. I now only have to touch the iginition switch to fire up the engine... without using the choke! The kit comes complete with easy to follow instructions and high output coil that looks stock and mounts where the original mounted. The module and magnetic pick up are concelled in the distributor. It took less than thirty minuets to install. No one would ever know until they saw the extra wire... and then probably would never make the connection that it was converted. Yes, I love my 55. Ford 8 and 9N owners come over to drool. But there is no compairson between the two. I do need a replacement dampner for the "Easy Ride" seat if anyone can help. Please contact me at kdacke at hotmail.com.

The backhoe boom also does not stay stationary after I move it side to side, it will swing in what ever direction the tractor happens to be leaning. What can I do to fix this? Another question is on re-chroming some of the actuators. Are there any special considerations? Is it cheaper to just replace them? What are these old machines worth restored?

I initially used it to clear 4 acres out of 20, using a boxblade. It dug a full basement for my house to set on (28 by 50), I had to wait for the bluprints to get fininshed so I had time on my hands, it took 3 months off and on. I use it now to keep trails clear on the rest of the 20 acres, and remove small trees and do some clearing. I dont believe this tractor has refused to do anything that I asked it to. It still amazes me with its durability and strenght, I cannot say enough about it, I would consider selling it if it would bring a GOOD price, but would hate to see it go, it has been a good reliable friend.

Kent Atkinson wrote on Thursday, October 10, 2002 (PDT):My name is Kent Atkinson and I am a reporter with a New Zealand news agency. I have two groups of people making competing claims about an Avery 5-10 tractor. One says it was probably made/imported in 1910, but the other group, which has a vested interest in making it seem more commonplace (and so able to be exported) claims that it was only produced from 1916. This seems to be at odds with the picture on this website of a 1910 version. Any (brief) suggestions? Also, mention is made in one of the stories of an Avery 5-10 being sold in the United States in the past week -- can anybody tell me approximately how much it sold for in US dollars or is there some other indicationof the dollar value of an Avery 5-10? Thanks - I've included the two stories below; Wanganui, Sept 18 - Vintage tractor enthusiasts are battling to have Minister of Arts, Culture and Heritage Judith Tizard use the Antiquities Act to declare a rare old tractor should not be exported by its Irish purchaser. The ministry declined the export permit in July, but Irish owner Gerry King has appealed and a spokeswoman for the ministry, Margaret Marks, said today the decision was now in the hands of Ms Tizard. This is the first time the ministry has declined an export permit for a tractor of this nature, and if Mr King's appeal is unsuccessful, the ministry will order the rare Avery tractor stay in New Zealand. Rural contractor Roger Mahon, a critic of the efforts to ship out a crucial piece of the nation's history, said the tractor was the only known model of its kind in New Zealand and was one of the earliest tractors to come to this country. The rare friction-driven machine was imported to New Zealand by Wanganui-based company Hatrick and Co during the very early years of last century. It was reputed to be the first tractor to arrive in Wanganui. Further checks worldwide have only located one other in the United States and that was claimed to have been made in 1910. Mr Mahon said its model designation of 5-10 referred to five horsepower at the drawbar, and 10 horsepower on a belt pulley. Its transmission was a friction-drive, a right-angled flange wheel against a large flat faceplate. The transmission drive flange had a fibre outer surface that could be disengaged simply by moving it away from the driving faceplate. The tractor's speed could be varied by moving the drive closer to the centre of the plate, for a slow speed, and out to the outer edge to go faster. For ``reverse gear'' the drive switched to the opposite side of the flange plate. ``Friction drives were simple and gave a variation of speeds when most other tractors had only one forward gear,'' Mr Mahon said. ``The Avery did a lot of farm work from ploughing, discing and pulling hay carts to sawbench work,'' Mr Mahon said. To use the belt pulley. with the tractor stationary, a locking pin and transmission drive cog had to be removed. The New Zealand model has had a more modern carburettor and magneto fitted but started out life with trembler buzz coils similar to Ford's Model T, powered by dry batteries. Mr Mahon said the mid-mounted seating position was only common to the earliest of tractors, as were totally exposed drive gears to the rear wheels. It was discovered nearly 30 years ago through a chance meeting in Levin. Mr Mahon was a contractor on a rural water scheme for the Horowhenua District Council in 1973 when hunter Bob Burling told him of the ``funny-looking old tractor'' that had been abandoned under a collapsed shed at the head of the Waitotara Valley, near Wanganui. ``Bob had stumbled across the tractor during a hunting trip and would have loved to have bought it, but there was no way of getting it out. He took photos of it and removed the name plates, which he still has.'' A local farmer, Simon Pearce, cut an access track with a D4 bulldozer to tow the tractor back to his farm further down the valley. ``Using a few farm tools, Simon managed to get the tractor running after pouring diesel down the cylinder bores to unseize the pistons,'' Mr Mahon said. ``He told me he used to drive it from his farm homestead out to the road to collect his mail and stores.'' During the 1970s, while installing a fibre optic cable from Levin to Patea, Mr Mahon found Mr Pearce had sold his farm. He had also sold the tractor for $300 to a Hamilton man, but he'd forgotten the buyer's name. Later Mr Mahon was told by an antique tractor enthusiast, Alan Marx from Eltham, that the very rare Avery tractor had been sold to an overseas buyer who was seeking an export permit. ``I wrote a strongly worded letter opposing the permit giving the history I had about it. It amazed me I was the only person at that stage to know where the tractor had come from and the little history about it,'' Mr Mahon said. ``After Hatrick imported it to Wanganui it was sold to the Waldie family who developed a farm from bush land at the head of the Waitotara Valley. They sold the farm about 1946. Hatrick became New Zealand agents for Avery and sold tractors and products throughout New Zealand,'' Mr Mahon said. ``Most people I have spoken to would like to see the tractor returned to Wanganui where it began life in New Zealand. ``If the people of Wanganui don't want it, I'm sure somebody in New Zealand will buy it,'' Mr Mahon said. NZPA WGC kca Timaru, Oct 11 2002 - An international tug-of-war over a rare vintage tractor being exported from New Zealand by its Irish owner is still waiting on a decision by Arts, Culture and Heritage Minister, Judith Tizard. The Ministry of Arts the Culture and Heritage declined in July an initial first application for an export permit, but owner Gerry King appealed, and vintage tractor enthusiasts who say the tractor is part of the national heritage want Ms Tizard to block the export. A spkoesman for the minister said today Ms Tizard was seeking independent advice before making the decision. The friction-driven tractor is housed at Ben Lewis' property in South Canterbury awaiting Ms Tizard's decision. Mutual friends in Northern Ireland put Mr King in touch with Mr Lewis, who in April agreed to pack the tractor ready for export. The tractor had been for sale for about four years before Mr King paid ``a considerable amount'' for it, Mr Lewis said. He would not disclose the price paid for the tractor. Mr Lewis said today there was a lot of misinformation being spread about the tractor, which would hinder the export being approved. He suggested rural contractor Roger Mahon, a critic of efforts to ship out the tractor, was wrong in thinking the tractor was the only known model of its kind in New Zealand and one of only two in the world. It was not one of the earliest tractors to come into this country, Mr Lewis said. The first tractor was imported in 1904, but Mr King's friction-driven machine was imported by Wanganui-based company Hatrick and Co around 1918, he said. The American Avery tractors of this 5-10 model were in production from 1916-1920. ``This was not the first tractor in this area, as Mr Mahon claims, and is not the only tractor of its kind,'' Mr Lewis said. ``One sold last week in America.'' Mr Lewis said several parts of the machine were not original, including the chassis rail (where the serial number indicating the tractor's age would have been written), the ignition system, side rails, engine bonnet, seats, and fuel tank. Mr Mahon claimed the tractor did a lot of farm work including ploughing and pulling plough carts, but Mr Lewis disagreed. Mr Lewis said this was misleading. There was very little wear and tear on the tractor, which indicated it had done little work. Before buying the tractor Mr King checked regulations regarding its export to Ireland and was given the ``all clear'', Mr Lewis said. ``Mr King had been supplied with incorrect information. He had done everything that should have been necessary, but now finds he was given the wrong information.'' Mr Lewis hoped once Ms Tizard learned the tractor was not as rare as Mr Mahon claimed she would approve the export permit. He said Mr King was very frustrated that he was unable to have his tractor. CAPTION; Ben Lewis with the antique tractor that enthusiasts are fighting to keep in the country.

Many questions have been asked by others about the 9N that I believe I can answer. Here are a few answers to commonly asked questions. 1. 9N tractors were first produced in 1939. 2. 2N tractors were produced during the war years. 3. 8N tractors were first produced in 1948. This should clearup model years. Improvement were continuously made. Many 2N's were shipped with steel wheels, no rummber tires, and magnitos innitions, no batteries, because of wartime shortages. These were hand crank models. Most were updated after the war when rubber and lead batteries became available again. 4. 9N's and 2N's were painted all grey. A darker grey than was used on 8 N's. 5. 8N's had the hood and fenders in light grey and the motor and chassis in red. 6. 9N's and 2N's were manufactured under a handshake agreement between Henry Ford and Harry Ferguson. Ferguson supplied the design and patent rights to the Ferguson lift system for the farm implements. 7. The handshake agreement ended in 1947 after a bitter lawsuit filed by Ferguson against Ford. 8N's were built by Ford with a different and improved lift system. 8. Ferguson made a very similar tractors both in the US and England after WWII. It was known as the "Ferguson." I wouuld be happy to answer other questions about the history if I can. algrove at ktc.com

Ron wrote on Thursday, April 04, 2002 (PST): I purchased my 1955 fordson major diesel last spring(3-2001). It has a wagner loader,3point lift, and sherman powerdigger backhoe. The operator, service, and parts manual is available and I got whatever parts I needed for the engine rebuild new. The only problem I had was locating a decent fuel tank(mine has multiple big dents). 3/31/2002 I bought another fordson major diesel w sherman power digger and wagner loader. I'm going to part this one out even though it still runs. Oil and fuel filters are available through a local autoparts store for a fraction of what a Ford New Holland dealer wanted for them. The radiator cap and hoses were also readily available. The fuel pumps are available new. It was difficult finding a mechanic who had worked on one but I did and had him help me rebuild the engine and set it up. There is a mechanic in England (Brian) who give excellent info on upgrades and troubleshooting. He can be found on the fordson page under yesterdays tractors. I'm located in New Jersey and found parts sources in Pa. If you can't find what you need email me. Maybe I can help.

He can't remember the year of the tractor for sure so I would appreciate some help identifying the year and the model for sure. The original paint is still on the tractor blue body and definitely orange wheels. It has a three point hitch and draw bar. It also has headlights mounted to the radiator cowling and also has fender mounted work lights. He ordered the tractor with the smaller diameter rear wheels (30") to lower the center of gravity at the time of purchase. All parts are original and is in running order. I need to replace the seals between the transmission and the differiential. The engine cylinder sleeve o-rings need to be replaced to bring it back to perfect running order. I'm having trouble finding parts since it seems that all dealers have thrown away their parts books and went strickly to computer parts programs which don't seem to include the Major diesel.

It still runs great and even though it was used hard through the years, it has only been overhauled once in 1964. In response to Ark's questions, I converted mine to 12v about 10 years ago. I used a 12v Ford car generator, but if you use an alternator, use a small one off a 4 cyl. as a big one will drag the tractor's engine down. I kept the 6v starter and the and the fast spinning starts the tractor so fast that it hasn't burnt out in all these years. I will eventually have to have it rewired to 12v. As far as your coil is concerned, it's ok. You'll have to pick up a ballast resistor at your local parts store. As it is a generic type item, it costs less than $10 usually.

If you have any tips for me in caring and operating my new found friend, please do not hesitate to send me an email at bigbad at bigpond.com.au. I would also be interested in hearing from other Fordson Major owners in Australia.

The previous owner had the tractor for 22 years and fitted the front end loader. He thinks it was original off an old Ford but with some modification. The 'hydraulics' are powered off the rear PTO and uses 30# oil. It's got a narrow bucket - used for getting into horse stalls. I've got horses so I appreciate the amount of work this will get! The fenders were removed to fit the front end loader. It has a gravity (trip) bucket but it does what's asked of it.

Don Pechan wrote on Sunday, November 26, 2000 (PST):I own a Case "VC", "VA", and several others-one of the easiest ways to tell them apart is that the"VC" engine is a flathead, and the "VA" is overhead valve, but there are many other differences. The only parts that are interchangeable between the two, that I know of, are the rear wheels. The guy who wrote that a "VAC14" is an industrial version is in error-the industrial "VA" series tractor is a "VAI". A "VAC14" is Cases attempt at making a low slung tractor to directly compete with the Ford "8N'. Case built the "V" series in 1940 and 1941 only-the "VA" series was built from 1942 until 1955. The "V" series also had vendor built trans. and rearend gears, built by Clark Co. in Michigan. Parts are not easy to find for the "V" series, although they are not so tough for the "VA" series, as they made so many more of them, try a tractor junkyard.

JIM { HOSS } CLARK wrote on Saturday, November 18, 2000 (PST):I own a gas powered SUPER 55. In fact we still own the first one to come into Bedford County Pa.. How I know this is that my dads uncle Jack Conner was the Oliver dealer in Bedford County and we were the first ones to buy a Super 55 in that county. Due to uncle Jacks INTEGRITY & HONESTY he had a really great business. We lived in a very heavily populated OLIVER area and uncle Jack sold 99.9% of all the OLIVERS that came into Bedford County plus all the implements that went with them. We are in the process of restoring our little Oliver at this time. I have either helped restore or started & finished several blue ribbon winners. Our super 55 was our main tractor for many years, until back in the mid 70's my uncle Bill purchased a diesel 1600. We still have both of them and since we have gotten away from farming we use them only to mow the old pasture and plow snow. They are both getting a well diserved rest now. They are like family and will probably be around as long as any of the family is alive. They were truely great tractors. A good friend of mine Lynwood Mearkle has about 10 or 12 Olivers. He is still farming and uses them today and they all look like they just unloaded them off the dealer delivery truck. He and his dad both bought tractors from uncle Jack. I will be more than happy to help anyone find parts or whole tractors should they want me to. I drive a cryogenics transport delivering nitrogen - oxygen & welding gasses and cover quite a bit of ground. I am constantly looking for antique cars ,trucks & farm equipment and of course tractors are at the top of the list. Let me know what parts you are in need of & let me see what I can come up with. Not all old tractors have to die & it's up to people like you & myself to see they don't. Thank You HOSS

Robert Eastman wrote on Friday, November 10, 2000 (PST):I now co-own a #730 diesel wide front by John Deere. I went to an auction to buy an early Ford tractor, the kind that I leaned how to drive on when I was a boy. When I saw the #730, and in a remarkably good condition, I had to have it. Those of you who went through the collecting of 60s muscle cars, as I did, know how this feels. I have some questions for anyone who knows this type of tractor. It was built in 1958 or 1959. It is the 2 cylinder type of diesel with the 24 volt electric start, and the compression release pedal start. QUESTIONS; What is the horsepower rating on this tractor? Because it has the wide front and is quite tall, is this considered to be a "row crop" tractor? Or a "high crop" tractor? The hood has no provision for an aircleaner to be extended through the hood. Is this unusual or is this incorrect? There is no hole in the hood where there should be one for an aircleaner extension. I have purchased the tractor in just the past few days. I would appreciate any help with suggestions for manuals for parts, service, or owners manuals. I have found a listing for some on the antiquetractors website. I'm sure those will do fine, but any additional suggestions will be welcome. This is my first tractor, and I have a long way to go to learn how to properly maintain it. In the small town where I live, there is a John Deere dealership and service center. A big reason why I chose John Deere over other quality brands. If I need to, I can drive it over to the service center, or for really big problems, they can come get it with truck and trailer for a short haul. Also, what batteries should be in the tractor? I know that it takes two 12 volt batteries. The ones that are in it look small. The ones that are in it seem to be doing the job, but there is a CENTRAL TRACTOR/FARM AND COUNTRY nearby. If I were going to buy new batteries, what part # with what features would you recommend? Also, the matter of cold weather starting. So that I do not "have to reinvent the wheel", what methods work for you? I have ruled out the use of eather because of the extremely thin "squish" area of the pistons to cylinders clearance. Serious damage could occur. I have my own ideas. I think that this is quite enough for my first letter. A BIG THANK YOU to the Tractor Shed for this forum, and to its' readers.

John Logsdon wrote on Sunday, October 15, 2000 (PDT): Seeing all the comments on the 720's pulling power reminded me of one that I farmed with during the sixties. We had a new '61 JD 4010 pulling a spinner moldboard with 3 sixteen bottoms in a field following harvest. We were plowing in fourth gear at a depth of about 7 to 8 inches. I wanted to see how the 720 would do and went over and fell into the furrow behind the 4010. This surprized the hired hand but he didn't stop. At the end of the half mile through, the 720 was about 6 lengths behind. Granted I had to keep the 720 real hard at work. The gear on the 720 was just a tiny bit slower and this caused some of the distance. I think the 4010 diesel was and is one of the finest tractors I ever drove; I know the 720 was not in its power class, but It was about as I had figured it to be. Ever wonder which one would outpull the other at the drawbar? I wondered also and my brother and I hooked the 720 to the 4010 with a big chain. I pulled the 720 in 2nd, idled down, he was going to pull me backward with the 4010 in 3rd. I was a little anxious before the start since I didn't have any wheel weights on the 720', the 4010 had two to each wheel. I pulled him all over the place. We tried three different times; same result. When daddy came in and saw the tracks where the 4010 had be dragged, he wanted to know "What was going on out there?" He of course was afraid of a tractor rearing up, but we rode them every day and were too good to have let that happen. I'm retiring the last of this year and am moving back to the contry, got the place bought already, and the first thing I will do is have a nice shop built where I can work on tractors. The second thing is to buy a 720/730 diesel. The 4010, super 88, M-5, M Farmall, UTU (I like punishment), and 1800 Oliver will come asap. I must be crazy, those AC D17s are even looking good to me as well. Well, maybe a Ford, v8 powered would top off the collection. Enjoyed just thinking about the old times. John

The second thing is to buy a 720/730 diesel. The 4010, super 88, M-5, M Farmall, UTU (I like punishment), and 1800 Oliver will come asap. I must be crazy, those AC D17s are even looking good to me as well. Well, maybe a Ford, v8 powered would top off the collection. Enjoyed just thinking about the old times. John

David C. Baker wrote on Monday, October 02, 2000 (PDT):Re; Oliver 70 Standard I own one. I grew up driving it. I am 53 now, a university professor who took over the family farm when my dad died 4 years ago. Ours runs like a top. We used it in the haying this summer. It is a 6-cyl. engine, said to be an experimental high- compression engine. The "70" is said to come from 70 octane gas, which it used in the 40's. Ours was purchased in 1947 and it did all the farm work until 1964 when we added a Ford 4000 (which we also still have). We now use a New Holland TN75 for the major work on our farm in Southwestern VA. We used it to run a thrashing machine (a Frick model). The thing was a real powerhorse under the belt. I still have its 2-bottom plow, an Oliver Plowmaster (2, 16" plows). It leaks a little oil around the engine seals. I guess the seals have dry rotted. Otherwise, it's in tip-top condition. I've seen restored models of these run up to $6000. But they were really nicely fixed up.

Timo wrote on Thursday, September 07, 2000 (PDT):There seems to be some wrong imformation about the manufacturing years of Fordsons in the previous messages. Here is some info about them (which should be correct); The "old" Fordson Major was produced in years 1945-1951. In -51 they started to make the "new" Major (only few was made in 51). It had ca. 40 hp. In 1958 came Dexta (smaller version of Major) and Power Major (more powerful version of Major, ca. 50 hp). The Super Major (and Super Dexta?) came in 1961. Super M. had orange wheels (like all the other models) but they were changed later (62-63?) into white (or grey) colour. In 1964 (?) they stopped making Fordsons and the new models were; Ford Dexta 2000, Ford Super Dexta 3000, Ford Major 4000 and Ford Super Major 5000. They were blue/grey.

Steve Olson wrote on Wednesday, August 30, 2000 (PDT):Hello all! I've had my 9N for about 7 years, and have done quite a bit of work on it. I hope to answer and ask a few questions... For many who asked, the original color of the 9N was all grey. Many people, including the previous owner of mine, painted them like an 8N, white hood & fenders, red drivetrain. They're sometimes nicknamed "Red Belly". A good place to start for parts is a Ford tractor dealer. There is also CT (Central Tractor) I have bought parts from them, but about 1 in 4 don't work or fit right and I wind up going to the dealer. You have to be a little careful. Guido and Wayne - the problem with the current leak may be in your ballast resistor connections or your ignition (key) switch. Remember when you're testing, these are 6-volt *negative* systems. Carleton, you may need to check the choke arm to make sure the choke is closing completely. If I don't pull mine out all the way and make sure the butterfly valve is closing completely, mine is hard to start and likes starting fluid. I was accusing it of getting a buzz off the ether. ;) Hitch problems - the hydraulic fluid can get the valves pretty gunked up and then they don't work well. I think I used an automatic transmission fluid "cleaner", moved the levers for awhile, drained the fluid, added new and didn't have any more problems. The mistake a lot of people make is putting gear oil in instead of the proper hydraulic fluid. I hope to visit here and help more. Now, onto my question. My 9N starts fine and runs fine for about 1/2 hour. It will then lose power quickly, misfiring and finally dying within 2 minutes. I then have to wait a few hours 'til she's cooled down and I can use it again. When it's running, it runs great. Must be something related to the engine getting hot but what I don't know. Any help?

He owned two of these balers which produced wire tied bales and required two men sitting either side of the bale chamber to thread and tie the wire. I as a teenager spent many hours driving the Case tractor towing the baler, and rember it as being a delight to drive. The hand clutch and oil immersed independant disk brakes made it a deligtfull tractor to drive with a tight turning circle. And it had a top speed on the road of around fifteen miles per hour usefull for transporting the baler between farms, and quicker than the Fordson Major's 7 MPH which he used to tow a Massey Harris Combine Harvester. Upon his retirement in the late 1950's Gilly desposed of his machinery the Case going to a farm in the Village of Rownhams.

As with several of the other folks on this page, I started to get confused about the serial number though. It appears to be a '41 or '42, and a Ford dealer once told me it was a '42. Yet the serial number on the block is '9NI54780*'. My understanding is that the '*' indicates steel cylinder sleeves versus cast iron. I recently was informed that Ford used the 'I' to represent the numeral '1'...so is this a '41 9N with a serial of 54780 or a '44 2N (even though the prefix is 9N!!)?? The characteristics definitely don't look like a '44, and it has the Ferguson System hood emblem as well as Ford's. But like Mike asks, how can a 9NXXXX be over the 105412 production number?

For a manual, go to the Ford Tractor Dealer and get the Ford Manual number F-201 it has information about Fordson Dexta, Fordson Duper Dexta, 2000 super Dexta, New Performance Super DExta. For parts for the engine go to a Massey Ferguson dealer, the Super Dexta uses the same engine as the current Massey Ferguson tractors.

DaveS wrote on Wednesday, May 17, 2000 (PDT):I grew up on a farm. Never could afford the "green line" of tractors and my relative was an A-C dealer. We had a WD45, D17, 170, 180, D19, 190, and a 200. All were gas except the 200. I began driving the WD45 on a baler when I was 7 yrs. old and admit the hand clutch was great for "feathering" into hay lumps in windrows to keep the baler from shearing a pin. I still have the 170. It has an A-C 500 series loader on it. It was the most useful tractor on our farm. It has only about 3000 hrs. on it and has been shedded all the time. Really liked the 190 but it had more power than the rear end could handle. A weak spot. The 200 was better in that regard. We had A-C cultivators, A-C plows, an old 60 combine with a Wisconsin V-4 engine, an A-C digger, and an A-C disk. Very few A-C (Agco-Allis now) dealers still left around here. I'll always have a soft spot for those orange tractors even now. Nice to see so many of you out there who have one or like them. The 226 cu. in. 4 cylinder put out a lot of power. Only bad thing about all of the older models was that the poor operator sat down in the dirt when it was dusty/windy. If I could find a nice D14 or D15 I'd buy it as the C that we have a Woods 72" belly mower on is getting a bit touchy to start (6 volt). Sorry I rambled on.

Sten Söderblom wrote on Saturday, May 06, 2000 (PDT):I have a 1949 FORD 8NAN. I have problems with jamming valves which makes the tractor very difficult to start. What could be the reason? By the way I am always using normal unleeded petrol never kerosene. Should the hydraulic be noicy ( say klick klick ) when overloaded? Where could I find drawings for hydraulic equipment + a suitable trailer to carry logs, sand etc. etc. I have once seen a hand brake installed on a 8NA. It was linked to the foot brake. Very practical, the lever was on the right side on top of the gear box. Is this original equipment or someone who got enough of finding the very small, from time to time, not releasing mechanism on the right and the left side down there somewhere? You recognise the problem? Kind Regards Sten

John Weide wrote on Friday, March 24, 2000 (PST):I spent alot of time on my grandparents farm when I was little and they used oliver tractors for all the heavy work and had a small diesel ford with a loader towards the end, to clean out the barns,etc. The place was sold in 1971 when I was 8. I became a father in '92 and thuoght my son would enjoy things like tractor shows and such, so I decided to find an Oliver to restore , but all I could remember was the big red wheels! So, without asking my relatives what models were there, I obtained a 60 rowcrop. I did alot of research before I restored it and found out some minute details, such as the fact the gages used chrome plated brass lens rings in 1941, (my Olivers year)all that came later still had the chrome,but due to war, it was chrome plated steel. My 60 turned out exellent,I use it to buzz wood and I have a large garden, also its a hit at the local tractor show each year. Theres something I'd realy like to have and thats a set of cultivators for it. Oh yeh, the tractors on the farm when I was little? A 70 and A 77!!

It seems we couldn't get it to shift into low range and when we tore it down we found a shaft with a gear seized on it because lub couldnt flow through it. Inside was stuffed the kind of waxed paper that bearing are wrapped in. Was this some sort of sabotage at the plant? It doesn't seem like the paper could ever have gotten in there on its own. Ive always wondered about this. As we understand it, the second color for the later majors was gray--at least in the US. The change seemed to happen in 1962. It matters to me because I am getting a Super Major delivered this weekend which is a '62. Good luck to guys looking for a ps pump or piston. They are hard to find and expensive to fix.

Hank Decker wrote on Tuesday, January 18, 2000 (PST):I have a 1948 Ford 8N which never ceases to amaze me in its performance beyond my expectations. I have acquired a loader which I was told can go on the front of the tractor, but it needs the hardware necessary to actually attach it to the front and rear axles. It looks to be a Deerborn model 19, but I don't know for certain. A brief description; a tube structure that seconds as the hydralic reservoir for the pump, which is drive off the front of the tractor. There are three holes in a bracket that do not line up with anything on the front of the tractor and the back part of the frame work (that part that would be closest to the driver's seat) has an open ended box-like structure with a hole on the inside of the box. The box would be open towards the ground when mounted on the tractor. Can someone tell me where I might get the hardware to affix the loader to the tractor? I was told I will have to remove the fenders of the tractor first if that helps. Thanks.

jon wrote on Friday, December 10, 1999 (PST):I have an 8N with the 6 cyl. Funk conversion. They used regular flathead 6's out of big Fords as well as the industrial engines. There are minor differences like the water pump. The early Funks and all Glover coversions used a channel iron frame. They later switches to a cast iron pan. You can tell what year your tractor is by looking at the date on the pump (bottom by the drainplug) assuming it hasnt been replaced. There are also dates cast in the rear axle, and other places on some tractors. The 2Ns have the date on the starter part of the bellhousing. The later 8Ns had proofmeters, and some had different looking rear axles and round brake pedals. The Funk flathead 6s use the donors clutch and pressure-plate (11 in.), and the tractors throwout bearing. The starter is also stock flathead six but uses a Funk adaptor. They later made OHV six cyl. conversions, most of these were Glovers, they are the rarest. As far as value, they really havent seemed to increase in value, a worker about $2500, and a show tractor about $4500.

Tom Boughner wrote on Thursday, November 11, 1999 (PST):Canada Post issued a special stamp in 1996, commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the production of the first Cockshutt 30s at their Brantford plant. The bulletin that accompanied the stamp reported the following; Cockshutt "30" Farm Tractor Cockshutt Farm Equipment Limited was founded in 1877 by James G. Cockshutt, who invented a series of implements, including the J.G.C. Sulky Plow. The firm designed tractor-pulled implements and offered a line of American-built tractors. Ending the U.S. agreement, the company decided to design and build its own line of tractors and combines. The result of their intensive development program was the Cockshutt "30" - the first tractor equipped with live power take-off and a live hydraulic system. The first "30" was produced in Brantford, Ontario, with production increasing from 400 uits in 1946 to over 17,000 in 1949. Production ceased in 1956 and the company was sold to U.S. interests in 1962. This stamp drawing featuring a farm tractor shows a standard-tread Cockshutt "30", equipped with wheel weights. Similar models are owned by collectors and museums such as the Ontario Agriculture Museum in Milton.
Tom Boughner wrote on Saturday, November 06, 1999 (PST):As to the comment that no one knows for sure when Cockshutt started building tractors, I'd like to offer this. My parents met while both were employed at the Cockshutt plant in Brantford during the '40s. The Canadian government had commandeered the Cockshutt facility for defence production purposes, turning out components for the Avro Lancaster Mark X bomber being built by Avro Canada in Malton. With the facility upgraded to satisfy wartime defence requirements, Cockshutt was well positioned to do so and swung their production over to tractors after the war ended. Canada Post issued a commemorative postage stamp honouring the first Cockshutt 30 tractors off the Brantford assembly line in 1946. I hope this helps and is of interest.

My brother and i has been driven a 4cyl. major with a turbocharger from a small off.roader(picup) and now we have bought another one with a 6cyl. engine, but we cant identifi the engine more that its a ford. We need to know the size, how much oil, the fuel injectors setting and the pump, and valve settings before we can use it and tune it up. Does anybody know where we can find some information. Do you know american trucks fitted with an about 100hp diesel engine from the mid-60ès?? if you have any ideas we will be very glad to hear from you!!!! we also have an IH farmal H and another Gas-driven fordson.

Ken Ray wrote on Sunday, August 08, 1999 (PDT):With regard to the Select-o-Speed, I too have found it very nice. I have a 1962 4000 row crop with the SOS, and enjoy the ease of changing speed. With respect to the paint scheme, my Dad had a 601 Workmaster, and I agree it was a red sheetmetal/red engine. All other 601 references are the same that I have seen. As to other colors beneath the original, I have found that on my 4000. It has a early 1962 serial #, and after I recently took mine down to bare metal to restore, I saw red beneath the blue. Given the resemblance and inter-changablity of early 4000 parts with the 901, I suspect that leftover 901 parts were used in the first production runs for the 4000.

Larry Dotson wrote on Tuesday, July 20, 1999 (PDT):I recently purchased a 1959 Ford 671 select-O-speed diesel. This tractor had been painted blue and passed off as a 2000. In my investigation, I have concluded that it is a 671. I am still looking for proof of this. When I opened the hood, I find the inside of all body panels were originally red. When the seat was removed, it was red under it. There is one odd thing though. The control arms for the front axle are gold under a coat of red. Also the rear rims (outer rim only) were first painted gold. I have not found the gold anywhere else. Does anyone know if this is correct, or for what model? The serial number seems to have been eaten off by battery acid. I was told that it was on the left side. Any help would be appreciated. Larry Dotson

Ivan Crain wrote on Tuesday, May 11, 1999 (PDT): First, I do not want my address given out! We owned an Oliver 60 in the late 40's and 50's. I don't know much technical about it or anybody else that owned one in that area. It was a very powerful little tractor for its size and held up good. We had it for a second tractor and used it quite extensively. I was 14 at the time and Dad bought it for me to use in the feild as by older brother was using an F-20 Farmall at this time which was our main tractor. The little Oliver was a little light in the front end and would rare under a heavy load going up a steep hill and one leaned to be aware of this quickly. We were pulling a hayrack & loader, loading loose hay one day and started up this steep grade when I had to shift down and when I let the clutch out, I think I looked the sun right the eye at high noon. I can still here my Dad yelling hit the clutch, the clutch which I did and thankfully it came back down on its wheel. That was the only drawback that I remember, otherwise a very good little machine. Outs didn't have a road gear or lights. I have one now that came equipped with those but will need extensive restoring, but the tin wear is in very good shape. I've never heard it run but the fellow who sold it to me said he was only the second owner and all he used for was pulling wagons and the man before him had only a small acreage so there should be no bad damage to it. I've just recently retired from Ford Motor Co. so haven't done a lot to it yet. Have the motor out and the head rebuilt and some new parts. Will need two or three push rods and perhaps a different camshaft as three valves were stuck and it appears that it was run that way some. My brother and I got into a little trouble while using these tractors as brothers some times do. We should have been supervised a little closer by Dad. Ha! Will close for now.
