Great video. I used a well worn, standard fordson supermajor with a rear forklift, in the early 1990’s, somewhat character building loading & unloading lorry’s with trolleys of pot plants, lovely old thing

Great sounding tractor, thanks for sharing and for the nature of your presentation as always.

I think this is so cool! You could be hired out by someone who has a large estate, or big lot that needs mowing. Ford manufactured many of this type of tractor here in the US, and are treasured, they are a workhorse!

A super major has the instrument cluster on top of the fuel tank

Super addition to your fleet. Perfect that you can drive it on the road without a licence. Slap L plates on and away you go 😁

Hi, good to see your Super Major 6 cylinder, with the Major and the Simms pump you only need to bleed to the pump and put the cold start in and she will fire up you don't need to open the injectors with a Simms injection pump, but good to put in the cold start

Interesting. You don't have a super Major.You have a super Major front cowl. What you have is a probably pre 1958 tractor .Your tractor has drum brakes and a low level throttle lever..The Super was introduced in the early 1960's and had disc brakes tight against the transmission housing.

Brilliant, that looks fun to drive. You could use it on the road as a daily vehicle if you wanted to. Needs a wash though 😁👍🏻

Make sure you have checked the oil level in the injector pump they have thier own sump and often wear out because people don't know to check.

I grew up in the 70’s on a farm - I grew up with vintage tractors- especially as my dad owned several.

No need to crack off the injector pipes on an inline pump when bleeding the fuel system.

I reckon you should turbo charge it for gits and shiggles. David will love it, especially when you drag race him.

Did David tie the diff lock pedal of the 1190 down?

so hows the old major after a year gone by would love to see it

Tbh super major had the instruments and throttle under the steering wheel plus disc brakes

I hope you wedged the diff lock pedal down on the DavidBrown before you removed the right hand hub reduction or you will struggle to get the half shaft back in 🤦‍♂️

She sounds lovely! But a standard diesel major not a super major

Welcome to the darkside I have recently purchased a power major that needs tlc. Empire blue is the 0riginal colour of yours. Are you going to keep the yellow? Oh the suspense...

this is not a super major, only a nose cone from a super major. It should have the dash on top of the tank with the throttle control, the high low range is standard major setup, the super major was the opposite with gear lever up for high range, no rear lift arms and painted yellow, probabley an industrial model.

Thats not a super major, it's a standard major. Still quite the machine.

That's an E1A Major with a 6D not a super, super major had throttle on the colum and gauges were not down where yours are, also looks industrial so no hydraulics. Still a nice machine but not a super. Nice 6D note though, all is good.
