    very low oil pressure

    The cooling system appears to be doing okay; the tractor heats up without appearing to overheat. Doesn't leak, the belts are good. We don't do long runs with the chipper (40 minutes thereabout) and mostly it's just 1" to 2" branches. But, yes, I'm feeling much better now that we're...

    very low oil pressure

    Majorman, I drained the oil when hot, and replaced it with 15-40W and some STP. When I started it back up, the oil pressure showed a third of the gauge (far better than just being able to move the needle). I'm feeling much more confident now Thanks again for the response and the...

    very low oil pressure

    I've picked up a Fordson Major to power a chipper, and am pleased with its performance But what has me concerned is that the oil pressure gauge wasn't showing any pressure to speak of. I screwed the gauge almost all the way out and got oil leaking out, so I'm presuming that there actually is...

    lubing the fuel injector

    My Fordson Major has an oiling cup on the side of the fuel injector. I've been using an oil can to squirt a few shots of oil into the cup before starting the engine, but the oil rapidly drains into the body of the fuel injector. Can someone fill me in on the correct procedure? Is a few...

    timing a TO-30

    My Fergie was working like a champ when it suddenly stopped as though the ignition has been turned off. I looked around and found that the bolt that secures the clamp that holds the distributor in place was gone, and the distributor had floated up. I replaced the bolt, but now I need to figure...

    runaway fordson major

    The new diaphram arrived, and was straight forward to install. Once I got the fuel injectors bled, the problem of the run-away Fordson was solved. Thank you all for being here and helping us keep this unit in operation. ~~ Walt

    runaway fordson major

    I pulled the fuel injector and the pneumatic governor, and yes, the diaphram had failed. I'm delighted to see that new diaphrams are available online. Majorman, thank you so much for responding to my query; it was very encouraging. ~~ Walt

    runaway fordson major

    We're using a FordsonMajor to power a wood chipper via PTO. Today, we tried to chip a log that was larger than usual, and the log stalled the chipper. The tractor tried to power up, but all that did was start the belts to smoking. I shut down the tractor, cleared the jam, and started it back...
