i must say thats a smart looking machine! sounds amazing, i work in BAE as a fireman and your relative Jim was telling me about you and said i should watch, so i subscribed, im a perkins man myself and love old machines :) keep up the good work
Great looking tractor and a 'proper' engine. To fit this engine into something that wouldnt normally have the Perkins V8, would you need to make yourself a bellhouse adapter plate? And would the clutch be the same or again would it need to be adapted? Thanks.

An adaptor plate is required and a different clutch set up.
Me again , when you built this how did you extend the bonnet
It is a bonnet which has been made for it, so it is not an original one extended. There is a guy on modified majors on FB who makes them.
Name of the V8 engine fitted in Fordson Major
Perkins v8 510
Perkins 510

It would be even better if it was a 4WD as it looks like one with the tyres.
If I can come across a roadless axle, I would love to convert it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yes it would look awesome then it would definitely look the part then.@@tractoraddict1983
