Remember this: If you buy a ticket and don't win the tractor - you've won already because you will have helped feed, bed and give a dog a safe place until they can be re-homed. Thank you 😉
My uncle Tom in Montana USA has 6 Fordson tractors and 2 of them are Power majors. His father had the first 2 shipped over new from England in the late 40s and then the other 4 my uncle bought through the years. But all 6 are still all original and never had any serious issues or work done to them. He still uses every one of them even now. That's a real testament to how good of a machine Fordson tractors are. It's truly amazing what those machines can do considering the HP they have.
The last thing that major needs is a new seat, My first thought when you asked was what others said "nice old sack full of straw". That was probably more original to it during it's last days work before retirement. If you put a new set of cushions on it, it'll ruin it more than the paint on the replacement engine does and then you've got to restore it, the more new bits go on. I remember my family using sacks and straw on Majors, now dads 76 he's upgraded to an old foam cushion on my north American spec blue grey 5000 major we cut grass with. I got lucky 2 weeks ago and bought another one for $1500, I knew about it for years and happened to see the owner. He said bring cash and come get it ! i got it running on the way home from work one night but haven't had time to go drive it home yet . Thanks for the video, Take care.
New seat, great that you're doing another auction. We can all help the doggos again and one of us will get a great bonus. It's lovely what you do for the rescue dogs and great that you give us all a chance to help. Thanks Mucker x
What a sweetheart of a tractor. I wonder what it would cost to ship to Michigan. I don’t think you could pack it in your luggage on your next US trip. I’ll buy some tickets and go from there. Thanks for the videos.
I like you display of flags in the shop. Like you said, It's a very straight tractor. You did some nice editing on this one and I told my wife what your doing so I'm in! We love dogs. Done, I'm in the raffle my friend.
Great video, I was thinking the other day that it must be getting close to the time when you would be talking about finally raffling the super major off & tonight’s video is just that 😊😊😊 👍👍👍Sounds so good on the film footage, love those engines, & because the tin work is so good, it just doesn’t look out of place if it didn’t get any new paint 👍😊My vote though is for new seat cushions .Thanks for the video
Keep the old seat back. But put a new cushion and pre filter in the Major starter pack. Love the Majors in all their iterations. Our blacksmith taught us to drive in his Super Major, driving round the barn. Let us loose on the road with a little grey fergy he bought off of one of his horsey ladies. Aged 11 yoked up to a load of small bale barley straw. I could look over that bonnet all day still 💚👊
Just finished watching Cat vs Komatsu Dozer, I'm and old Cat guy but I was really impressed with the Komatsu. I am retired rancher here in Oregon and agree that the world confuses the hell out of me. Anyway carry on.
Old seat definitely If you get an entire working tractor for the price of a raffle ticket and then have to get a seat for it you're still quids in and there's more money for a good cause 👍 Nice one LM
Thoroughly enjoyed watching the Super Major vids, will certainly enter the comp, someone's going to enjoy this beauty and those Collie Dog's will certainly benefit :-) Great Job and Old Seat
Excellent video Lord Muck :) that Ford Major tractor say low hours and new seat be nice to it ! Also thing that tractor be nice to restoration on too !
Beautiful tractor and a wonderful cause. Alas, I'm in the States, leave the seat old seat can always get a nice pillow when you drive it then leave it in the shop when you get home. It's what we do with all of our tractors. Be good sir, my regards to the Collies.
@@LordMuck I appreciate that. It's probably my only option but shoot that's a really lovely straight tractor. It would be an honor to have it on the farm alongside our Minnie Mo.
Bloomfields was a Suffolk dealer but I'm fairly sure it's registered on a Hull plate, ironically I'm on holiday in Snape in Suffolk and my book on vehicle registrations is 200 miles away in East Yorkshire 😊
Leave the tractor alone Lord Muck. Let the new owners sort it out and make it their own tractor. That's an awesome tractor and deserves to be taken care of property. Love your content and expecialy what you do to animals.
I live in a rural area and this would definitely be cool to travel to the pub in, hopefully with my wife in a cage on the trailer. Will the previous keeper listed on the V5C being "Lord Muck" exempt me from any other repercussions? Well done, the change of engine type was a bit inevitable, plenty of life in this old tractor.
That is one lovely old Major that in my opinion should be left original Seat included let the winner decide an apart from that saves a few extra quid for the Collies 🤔😁
It's a lovely original tractor you will be sad to see it go!! Great cause though be a fantastic tractor for someone, Bloomfield's sadly long gone a good little dealership, old seat with a bit of sack on it
Wow! B rings back oooold memories, like 60 years ago. Oh yeah, ask me what happens to the differential when a log gets stuck between the clutch pedal and floor plate. Think toothless spiders. lol
Thanks Kurt..... I hope to go and see Pete Teichman at North Weald soon Ill be taking the Son of a Polish WW2 Pilot (mate of mine) do you know Pete ? He's a lovely man, true Gentlemen
He's got a gorgeous Sunbeam Tiger.... he rocked up in it the last time I met him at the hanger.... it's a 110% fit for his demeanor.... understated and WOW..... goes like a scalded cat.... 😀
New seat but make it so it unbolts. It's something a farmer would replace, along with an engine and tyres. Told the wife, and she has a list of jobs for it! We don't have a farm, only 0.6 acres!
In it to win it mucka. I’d leave it all original so old seat. Great video as always just caught up on last few the cutaways as always makes me want to watch the classics I love planes trains and automobiles the late great John candy 👍🏻
Remember this: If you buy a ticket and don't win the tractor - you've won already because you will have helped feed, bed and give a dog a safe place until they can be re-homed.
Thank you 😉
Not winning would be easier than telling the wife I have won a tractor😂
Love dogs and tractors.
Win win🥳
Well worth it.. and if I win the old girl.. I'll use it to help raise more money for the pooches ..

They are legends. Seriously over-engineered.
New seat and a flat cap to wear while driving it and maybe a pipe to smoke so you can look like Jack Hargreaves. HOW!
And the opening music playing in the background... old country....
New Seat
I'd say Bob Fleming from Country Matters would be even better! 😂
You're absolutely right. Thats a great old tractor. Sounds great, you're right no whine in the trans. Tin work is in great shape. Thanks again.
I’m for the old seat. I’ll dip a ten in the hat to help those beautiful collies. Thank you for all you do Muck.

Old seat with a nice Hessian sack full of very expensive straw lovely pup by the way 🙂
Exactly what I scrolled down to put as a comment

The seat - Nothing an old battered cushion from an old sofa couldn't cure.

Hessian sack with some hay or expensive straw in it for a cushion!
Just needs wiping over with a oil and diesel mix soaked rag, that`s what I do with my power major, think it`s called Patina😬👍

Nice one LM
I'd leave the seat, nothing like getting the full antique tractor experience👍
Old seat for sure, lucky winner can then decide what they want to do👍👍
Thoroughly enjoyed watching the Super Major vids, will certainly enter the comp, someone's going to enjoy this beauty and those Collie Dog's will certainly benefit :-) Great Job and Old Seat

Excellent video Lord Muck :) that Ford Major tractor say low hours and new seat be nice to it ! Also thing that tractor be nice to restoration on too !
I Don,t think a working farm would give a shit about matching numbers.lol.
Thumbs up

Old seat ... old hessian sacks 😉.. stay safe 🏴

Brand new Fisons seed bag with fresh straw
New seat please I would love to win this one, great job Mucker looks great as it is. Fenland Rob

keep the seat original, and add a good cushion.
Beautiful tractor and a wonderful cause. Alas, I'm in the States, leave the seat old seat can always get a nice pillow when you drive it then leave it in the shop when you get home. It's what we do with all of our tractors. Be good sir, my regards to the Collies.
You can choose the cash alternative if you win then 😉
@@LordMuck I appreciate that. It's probably my only option but shoot that's a really lovely straight tractor. It would be an honor to have it on the farm alongside our Minnie Mo.
Look at it this way - if you win, it's cost you hardly anything so to pay to share a container with someone else, it's still a cheap tractor 😉
@@LordMuck Indeed, solid tractor at that.
Keep as is but new seat and let me photograph it, it is a beauty, love it.
She's a beauty and looks like she wants to get back to work. Oh yeah - new seat!
Leave it and let the new owner decide 👍🚜
New seat!
Lovely sounding tractor M'lod! Great initiative for the collies as usual 👍
Cheers, Mike
We love the majors and dextas here in Canada. Great power units!
The super major was the first tractor I saw with both a 3 point hitch and pto and an implement belt drive
Bloomfields was a Suffolk dealer but I'm fairly sure it's registered on a Hull plate, ironically I'm on holiday in Snape in Suffolk and my book on vehicle registrations is 200 miles away in East Yorkshire 😊
It's a Suffolk registration. Only 3 owners from new, the first being Ottley Hall.
New seat. The pup is lovely 😍
New seat and a flat cap to look the part, it’s a lovely little tractor that super major 😍
old seat, i don't know why some clown has put extra holes in the pre-cleaner. not necessary . great video, love your dog.
The original type governor worked better with more air
Leave the tractor alone Lord Muck. Let the new owners sort it out and make it their own tractor. That's an awesome tractor and deserves to be taken care of property. Love your content and expecialy what you do to animals.
Keep the seat and add a cushion
I don't know why folk are thinking I'm replacing the seat pan - I'm just doing main and rear cushions...
We used them to tow aircraft at RNAS Lossiemouth in the 60’s, I had the first one with a column throttle 🇬🇧😊

Old seat. Lovely thing to do chap. Be well
A new seat Mucker , the tractor is going to be a great prize for someone. Great work Mucker 🚜🔧👍

Thanks for what you do. I'm from the States, but again thanks for your caring for Border Collies. Don't change a thing
New seat me thinks me lord twud be tough on the auld ring piece for the winner otherwise 😊

New seat would make the ride more comfortable
New seat and love to win this Mucker as it will bring back such good childhood memories
That is one lovely old Major that in my opinion should be left original Seat included let the winner decide an apart from that saves a few extra quid for the Collies 🤔😁
Nice video mucker great what you do for the collies old seat 👍🏻
Old seat with a bag of straw 🤣
Old seat
lovely collie well done mucker ❤
I would change the oil,new filters, give it a coat of diesel/oil mix, and put it to work! 👍😉
Buy your ticket and you'll have a chance of doing just that 👌🏼
I think a new seat cushion would be nice ,but that Super Major is going be a good project for who ever wins it.
the old rhyming slang for piles was "farmer giles", looking at that seat, it makes sense why they chose it...
keep it up young man
3:30 did the air cleaner "mushroom" cover go through Detroit or something lol?
Hi Kurt Old seat and a sack of hay 😀😀 That will be a nice tractor for some one good luck every one Thanks again
It's a lovely original tractor you will be sad to see it go!! Great cause though be a fantastic tractor for someone, Bloomfield's sadly long gone a good little dealership, old seat with a bit of sack on it
Wow! B rings back oooold memories, like 60 years ago. Oh yeah, ask me what happens to the differential when a log gets stuck between the clutch pedal and floor plate. Think toothless spiders. lol
New seat would look nice. 👍
Yep new back pad and cushon new knob just to finnish it off great vid give the dogs a big hug tar
These tractors are still in a class of their own.
Good old tractor was brought up around them love watching your videos
Old Seat...... 👍😎👍
Thanks Kurt.....
I hope to go and see Pete Teichman at North Weald soon Ill be taking the Son of a Polish WW2 Pilot (mate of mine) do you know Pete ? He's a lovely man, true Gentlemen
Pete and I have spoken but never met - he is as you say, a gentleman
He's got a gorgeous Sunbeam Tiger.... he rocked up in it the last time I met him at the hanger.... it's a 110% fit for his demeanor.... understated and WOW..... goes like a scalded cat.... 😀
My film of Pete with Pegs.... she really was his baby.....
ua-cam.com/video/Bg8gkd_0Qyo/v-deo.htmlsi=w4oF2hkcpr5u8BzQ
Shame he'd sold her....
Old seat , I'd drive it back to west Wales if I won with the seat as is
HRT for men what ever next 😂🏴👍🏻
Sounds wonderful! Thanks for this video! 🙂👍
New seat but make it so it unbolts. It's something a farmer would replace, along with an engine and tyres.
Told the wife, and she has a list of jobs for it! We don't have a farm, only 0.6 acres!
About 3 fidie😂😂😂 350!! Ha ha brilliant 👏
New seat.. comfort is key!
Sorry I missed the tractor running as I was too shocked by the lack of potholes.
I think a new seat would really set it off nicely 👍🏼
clear coat lacquer and a cushion
Old seat , the tractor I first dover only had a metal seat
New seat and NOB👍 MINT 👌
There’s a special smell of a Fordson Major. A bakerlite smell from the gear lever and steering wheel.
New seat.
The only thing I would do is install a flapper on the exhaust, a suicided ball, and a cup holder for my beer. 🍻
Great Videos, where is this tractor to be collected from roughly?
Norfolk
Old seat let the next person decide.
Great entertainment, new seat would be nice.
new seat or at least a new bag of straw
Id love to restore it and use it. Hope to put a loader on it. It would be nice to have one . We dont have a tractor.
Great video. New seat. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼
Likely to be mostly for road runs going forward so new seat.
In it to win it mucka. I’d leave it all original so old seat. Great video as always just caught up on last few the cutaways as always makes me want to watch the classics I love planes trains and automobiles the late great John candy 👍🏻
When I was with Matt last week in the States we were laughing and quoting TPA. John Candy was brilliant.
New Seat & Knob 👍🏻
Hessian sack for a seat will do.
you keep the seat and let the next owner decide what type of seat is needed if one at all !
you have a seat to remind you of the tractor !
a momento !
