My compliments on another excellent restoration. As an ex Ford Tractor Division employee in the '60s I can assure Evelyn Woodcock that the pre-cleaner is definitely correct for all E1A Australian production. Locally sourced items included wheel equipment, tyres and batteries, spark arrestors, swinging roller drawbar, power steering kits and remote hydraulics.
Wow, That would have been an awesome era to work as a Ford Mechanic, I'm glad you liked it, I have another Super Major that will be completed in the future, white wheels version, Great to have positive feedback. Thankyou
@@humpygarage9779 It was a good time to work with Ford. I was involved in Sales Admin. and had extensive dealer contact throughout the Vic. Branch region.
Great tractor and by the look of the photos you did a complete restoration to your credit. My dad had a grey wheel Super Major. It was a terrific tractor. Thanks for putting this video on line. Dave.
Thanks David, I am glad you liked the video, Im glad that it brought back memories of your fathers Major, they were great little tractors for their time.
Absolutely beautiful! My grandpa had almost the same one his two head the gauge cluster by the steering wheel too I really miss that tractor again it is absolutely beautiful
Sweet job man, fuckin nice one. Have a David Brown 880 I brought in March to do up. Has only 1200 hours on her. And pretty original. The first tractor on our farm was a power major that dad brought in grenfell for $680 in 1972
We had a power major in the late 70's early 80's it was live drive PTO. We bought a 4.5 foot PZ rotary mower in 1978/9 and I remember backing up on the headlands to have it up to speed going into the swath. We bought a brand new Ford 4600 in 1981 and the old folks insisted on flogging the major for £500 even though myself and my brother wanted to hold onto it, we lost out unfortunately.
Well what an absolute Rippa and Ripper job. We had a Fordson Farm Major, when I was a kid, had a Gason Cab, side entry, ours had cast rims front & rear, see yours has front only. What size are your tires, ours had 6.00 x 16 front and 16.9 x 28 rear. 4th gear used to whine like hell while working fairly hard and as for the injector pump clatter, never heard a Fordson that didn't, sort of trade mark sound. As for the air cleaner cover, ours the same, flat top. Great to see some of these old girls dolled up again. will email a picture of her if you like. cheers and thanks for posting.
Thankyou Andy for your nice words, I am so thankful for all of you guys that appreciate old machinery it makes my time doing these projects worth while. The front tyres are 7.50 16, You are correct the injector pump was built from 3 old pumps, so the best judges such as yourself know that its largely an inherent noise! Yes I have had four of these and all had oil bath flat top air cleaners, I would say that this was standard issue in Australia. Currently building another Major with white wheels, hopefully it will be up in the next year, Also building a GMC Truck will be up soon. Thanks for commenting, Ill work out a way I can get my email to you, I'm best not to write it in the text.
@@humpygarage9779 Gidday mate, how's your projects coming along ? This video popped up the other day and I thought it was terrific and thought I would pass it on to you. ua-cam.com/video/o_FLMEvmgSM/v-deo.html cheers.
@@gashy1000 Thanks Andy I have a 63 Fordson Major about a month off completion, Will be posting it soon after, Also a DT Lanz Bulldog to be completed this year, Thanks for the message, Richard
He comprado en septiembre un Ebro super 55, el Fordson super major de España. Cuando funciona bien, tengo ganas a sembrar mi propio trigo, pero aqui en Málaga, no quiere llover
Put the correct air inlet cover on it, as its original should be like a domed mushroom, the clickety-click, clackety-clack, put a new coupling on the front of the injector pump, as they ware out, due to dry soil dust.
@@swagmanexplores7472 Have you got an OIL BATH, under the bonnet, if so you are wrong. as I noticed in the video, there seemed to be an oil bath filter.
I am not 'wrong' as you state, this is the correct configuration for Australian Delivery tractors. They are all like this over here. Don't know where you are getting your information from.
@@swagmanexplores7472 Could you please answer, is there an OIL Bath FILTER UNDER THE BONNET. If so, when you restore an item, ie, tractor to it,s original factory condition, the domed type inlet would and should be fitted, as yours is a non-standard Export mod it may well have been fitted with an extra particular filter as a none standard item.
I am restoring my grandfather's 1963 model fordson super major but i see quite a few differences like the bonet handels are longer but the power major here came out with the short ones and s few onther little things. But this one of yours is stunning
@@brandonlubbe4146 Thanks Brandon, This one has the Super major motor, Instrument Cluster and Disc brakes; for sure things may have been changed a little over the years between Farmer to Farmer, And we all have to accept this, so nothing is going to be as per the production line, We all do our best to keep things as original as possible and I just appreciate the beauty. Good luck with restoring you Grandfathers classic.
It is a power major look at the injector pump it has a pneumatic governor and the 3 point lift is a power major. Super majors had diff locks mechanical governor, disc brakes lift with draft control, grey white mud guards and rims.
Wonderful looking tractor!! Our family had one back in the 70s, sadly it got sold but I’d love to find one one day!! Great job!!

Beautiful job, well done!
A very nice job well done! I have to do the same to mine, it works but it looks 66 years old (just a diesel Major)
Looks brand new 👍
That’s a good idea with the rubber edging on the bonnet
Yes Dan! not original but assists with the tank rash!
@@humpygarage9779 I’m restoring a power major atm and have just put a new rubber trim around the dash pod
Nice work! Looks like it got Raised PTO.
Looks SUPER !!😃🤠🤠

Where did you find the orange color for the rims
Hi Emil the Rims are Red Australian Standard AS2700 R13 Signal Red, best colour match we could do, I hope this helps.
Thanks i realy love the tractor
The blue is it just the normal Ford blue
@@emilhansen5059 Hi Emil the Colour is Fordson Blue 11262, I hope this helps

Thanks Evelyn, You have a very good ear, The injector pump was rebuilt, but yes it is a little noisy, thanks for the advice.
I thnk you'll find that is the correct inlet cover. Mine is the same.

What style of battery? Amp hours?
Hello Edwin the battery is a N70, the Cold Cranking Amps is 720, you could probably get away with a lot less,. I hope this helps.

Are you sure this is a super major and not a power major ?
100%
