New to me Fordson Major Diesel

case680rob · Mar 4, 2015

Over the weekend I picked up a decent running '55 Fordson Major Diesel with a bunch of little issues. Injection pump is out of time enough to make is start hard and smoke ALOT, brakes are mechanically good but do NOTHING, charging system seems nonfunctional, and the starter is iffy (bendix lever seems sloppy and rarely engages the starter to the flywheel).

Anybody have any experience tinkering on these old beasts?

Thanks,

Rob

Didn't see one...still learning my way around all the forums. Thanks for the heads up, moving on.
