1956 Fordson Major MarkI
I just bought a Fordson Major Mark I,1956 vintage,with a John Deere backhoe and front loader. The old girl runs good,with very little smoke,only on start up. I am looking for servicing information for the backhoe-loader. I have one cylinder on the 'hoe leaking down,not bad,but I would...
