    Great old tractor I was ploughing fields in Ireland at a very young age and don't regret it, it helped mold me into hho I am today.
    I pity today's youth no grit.

    There’s something about a major you can’t beat.

    Yes, a super major, they were good starters, I remember starting one with a rope around the pulley when the battery was tired !👍

    Runs very nice with no oil smoke. Tin work is amazingly rusty tho.

    On a cold day in Ireland you would have to literally light a fire under the engine to warm it before trying to start it.

    I have a Fordson as well. Great tractor. Spend some money on the poor girl and get new sheet metal from Agriline! Such a shame when it still has the will to run!

    Spray the whole thing with diesel and oil mixed and stop that rust.

    if it is a 63 then it is a super major and you can see that from the vertical lines at the front, and the regular major is only built up to 58

      Runs ok .I would have cracked an injector line also i didn't think the cold start button in and thoseSimmspumps really need oil added to the side cover we have a oil hole added with a screw for a plug if itsran dry the bearings can sieze on the injector pump I have my dads 59 power major its a very similar configuration to this tractor.
