    Why are late Fordson Major so heavy ?

    I have hauled my fair share of heavy loads, but my 61 Super with rear tire ballast, front wheel cast weights, and front end loader push the limit of of my 96 Dodge 2500 diesel. I believe it weighs around 8500lbs in its current state. However, it is GREAT for overall traction and stability, and...

    Plowed another snow storm with the Super this evening, working better than ever.

    It is medium - hard plastic/vinyl which explains why it did such a good job of restricting the flow. I am 99% sure it is traces of a caplug... however I am still trying to figure out how it ended up there. I used the 3pt hitch for ten or so hours before the loader was installed with no issues...

    FSM Sudden Slow Hydraulics

    It's sorted out and working better than ever. I was able to source the proper size pump o-rings from a local supplier. Since the lift cover was off and I had the parts from a previous order I decided to pull the lift cylinder and replace the U cup seal and the o-rings above the cylinder. I...

    Thanks. I started by removing the check valve ball and found another piece there. Tried it again with no luck. Following the circuit, I decided to remove the top cover and check out the unload valve. a few small pieces of debris there as well but everything moved freely and looked very clean...

    I got it all back together with new oil and the hydraulics still move ultra slow. Back to the drawing board...

    I found a piece of debris in the flow control valve. it is a piece of orange plastic type material. Is it safe to assume this is what's restricting the flow? is there anything inside the lift cover this could have came from? it strikes me as something foreign.

    Thanks skipper. I've put a lot of work into that thing. The o-rings are not very old. still nice and pliable

    I don't see any issues with the o-rings under the aux service assembly. It is looking like I'll have to pull the lift cover tomorrow and investigate unless you have any other suggestions.

    Thanks for the reply. I'll start by removing the aux chest. No traces of water were in the oil. I did try lowering the 3pt arms and observed no changes but I did not test pressure after the fact. The arms did not creep to the top of their travel at any point. Now that you mention it, I did...

    Thanks to the help of this forum, I've successfully restored my 61 Super Major and I've been using it for work on my wood lot, and lately, for removing snow at my workplace parking lot in Atlantic Canada this winter. Everything is working perfectly with 30 hours on the tach so far. Last night...

    FSM External Hydraulics

    I got my pressure gauge hooked up today and was able to get a reading. The lift arms do in fact operate, I had left the AS knob in the out position so it was sending the pressure to that port. the arms go up smoothly and will lower with a small amount of weight with one hand when the lever is...

    Majorman, very helpful as usual. Good call on the electric blower chute, I will certainly look into it. Thank you for the clarification on the hydraulics, that pretty much answers all my questions. I had a very busy weekend working on the Super Major and now that it's back together and not...

    FSM External Hydraulics

    If at all possible, I would like to run my implements on the existing hydraulic pump. I am new to the world of hydraulics but I have a basic understanding of what I need to do. Correct me if I am wrong but, a spool valve controlling a dual acting cylinder has a pressure and a return line, and...
