Someone really abused this thing :( Sad to see how bad state it is in.

Just work on what you feel like on any particular day.

Very nice, wait for it

That e27n has the English 36” rims on the back

This Ford engine will be another interesting project and the plans you have for it. The colours are interesting. I may be off track but Ford had a kit to repower kero Chamberlins with 6 cylinder Ford engines. That may explain the orange paint and exhaust. The yellow looks New Holland harvester to me. Regardless I would say it has had an interesting life. Now to start another life.

Joe you have now so many interesting projects that I don't want to miss,

When you said it was a miserable day I thought, is any day you are picking up vintage parts really miserable?

Austin or Leyland. Hard to tell . They were originally Austin then when BMC was taken over they became Leyland. Thank you for the video Mate 👍

I was out the back of New Norfolk at Lachlan yesterday in the rain, picking up a 1950’s power hacksaw for the workshop.

Nice rims, I see one E27N will be stripped and painted one day

❤ looks good that's going to be so useful 👍👍👍👍

I’m just kidding but are you still avoiding the job of cleaning the hydraulic tank.😀

Keep up the great work

Another good progress video, looking out for the next one

Hi, thanks for the shout out. You have some interesting projects there. Keep up the good work. Thanks from Geoffrey

I don’t envy you the job of cleaning out that hydraulic tank.

Nice update, thanks for that, like all your Fordsons

Joes Garage merchandise. I can see it now. Coffee mugs with photos of the crane and caps with the E27N.

Looking forward to seeing this unit in action

Great progress Joe, hopefully next time will be a test

Good to see you back on the Crane. It’s going to be a very handy unit for you. I was glad to hear you reference Brookdale farm. You guys put a lot into the videos and deserve a lot more exposure.

The color looks perfect to me but then again I’m color blind.😅

When you mentioned it was an old clapped out storage shed I thought, it’s better than the other one you don’t have just like the vice, better than the other one you don’t have. We all have to work with what we have.

Like those fittings and the colour looks perfect for me

That was fun my friend, that old Fordson is in a great shape

I know what you mean by life gets in the way. More things to do than there is time for.

Great progress. I think they had a removable Venturi so they could be changed when operating at different altitudes.

Nice work Joe!

This was a nice video, I want to see it running and that happens, very glad, looking forward to what you come up with

Hey mate how much do you want for the white cab

O vídeo ficou muito especial com a presença do gato , maravilhoso

I’m really enjoying this E27N and it’s progress

Sounds good. I’d keep t an original runner in its working clothes. Maybe pull sump to clean and check bearings. If bearings are a little loose they maybe have shims which can be removed to get clearance back to specs. Just my thoughts. Oh, and we all often stick more money into these projects than they are worth.

This was a fun video, again if it was mine "with how much I like Fordson's" I would definitely button it up and keep it as a running old original E27N, drive it for fun or use to pull start other Fordson's

Getting a cat scan to avoid a cat a strophe they mean well.

Love the history of the machine, it’s awesome to know where it came from, and what it worked on.

Reaching down into that cab to work on the hydraulic plumbing looks to be the hardest part. And like all plumbing, no matter how well you try to figure it out it always seems you’re missing one fitting you need.

Coming together bit by bit. The end result is all that matters. Interesting history on the machine.

The history is awesome, good to have that, it always gives a new meaning of an old item if you know where and what does it do in his life and personally know one that operate it way back then

That engine sounds pretty good. I would say once you have sorted out the fuel and carby it will run and start well. When I was a boy I thought the E27N was the best tractor ever. Then Dad bought a Diesel Major. You are doing a great job there. I can remember the make of the stuff but we did a tank with a 3 part treatment 1st to clean 2nd to etch 3rd to coat a membrane inside. Extremely successful. I am interested in how you tackle the tank.

Why don't you drain all the oil and put new oil in

This was an epic video, please don't give up, that is a real jewel you have there, I will give it all I got to get it so far as a show model, very rare, I am 65 and when I was born my father farms with two of them.

It's alive sounds like me first thing in the morning. Thanks for sharing.

I love a grey mudguard Super Major. Great buy. You have decades of TH-cam content for us to enjoy.

I can't wait to see the progress on this Fordson.

I like Fordson's, any condition, our Super Major's front lights was positioned in the grill and the Power Major's was on the side of the nose, all I know apart from the cream/white fenders and all rims, the Power Major's was orange

Just thinking if can drill a hole on the bottom of the tank, scrape and flush it and plug the hole again with a plate and JB weld or similar product and replace the suction pipe, you might be OK then with the filter cleaned

I had one of those moments today. I pulled up in the Supercheap Auto carpark in my Cruiser and noticed the other white Cruiser parked out the front. I thought, “I’ve see that Cruiser somewhere before”… ahh, now I know where I have seen it. 👍

Hi Joe. From what I understand, the baffles in your tank is the systems last line of defence. You have a return strainer and it dumps into a baffled compartment and heavy contaminants fall to the bottom contained. Only clean oil should make it over to the suction side of the tank. So the operating level will be a couple of inches higher than the baffle. This also means you will always have a reasonable quantity for heat distribution and never be able to run on a low tank. You have probably already worked all this out already but over the years it probably slowly leaked out of the suction hose that was so perished. Personally I wouldn’t bother with expensive hydraulic fluid but would just use a farm multi purpose oil. You will never have the demands of modern hydraulics on this system. Really enjoying your videos and all you achieve without a fancy workshop and equipment. Dave.

Opened up a big can of worms there I reckon. Thanks for sharing . It's only money, work and time.
