Front weight bracket bolt hole pattern

Amatt NWOH · Oct 21, 2010

Is the bolt hole pattern on the front of a Fordson Major (the rectangular 4 bolt holes for hanging weights) the same as the bolt hole pattern on later ford tractors, such as the Ford 5000?

There are two patterns of "tomb stone" front castings used on Fordson Majors.

The hole patterns are different, and slab weights will not interchange between type 1 & 2.

Type 1 - 1952-58 Diesel Major & 1958-60 Power Major [orange wheels]

Type 2 - 1960-62 Super Major [orange wheels] & 1963-65 Super Major with grey wheels.

Note the 1963-65 grey wheeled Supers had grey hoods and were called Super Major 5000 in the USA.
