Help id my tractor
I have what I was told was a 1957 Major, but I am not sure.

-There is no serial # stamped on the right front side of the engine. I can see where it should be but it seems to be blank.
-There is no serial # on the firewall, On the tag where it should be, is printed "A Ford Product Made In England Constructed Under Patent In All Principal Countries". But no serial #
-Under the seat it says "EIADKN" "994787" "P110"
-Beside the clutch linkage is stamped "P20"
-It has a Simm injection pump SP544705296
-On the engine head is stamped what looks like E3 or upside down SE
 
Firstly. Is your pump vacuum governor or mechanical.
That pump No you gave does not come up for anything before about 1961. But that on its own is nothing to go by. Under the exhaust manifold should be the casting #no for the engine.
If you go to www.fordsontractorpages.nl/serial.htm it gives a fairly comprehensive listing of casting #no's
Check that out and we'll take it from there
Compliments of the season.

I don't know how to tell if it's governor or mechanical.
It has a lever on the top front right side of the engine right behind the radiator hose, it goes into the front of the valve cover and this lever has a rod that runs back to the operator to operate...don't know what that is for.
If it had any gauges they are long gone, but to start, it has a 2" multi-position switch lever that must be first turned on and then a lever on the left side must be pressed down to start the engine.
The engine is painted yellow but it has lots of blue flakes...or it is blue with lots of yellow spots...hard to tell but it is mostly yellow. It appears to have been painted several times so it is hard to tell if it was originally yellow.
 
In looking at the engine the throttle lever does not go to the injection pump instead it goes to a lever then thru the block

The tractor itself is mostly blue but it looks like it was painted yellow at one time. It also has a large loader with the letters "Industrial Loader" on the arms and was made by Shawnee. I don't know if it originally came with the tractor or it was added sometime later, and the loader is mostly blue now but it also was painted yellow at one time.
