Fordson Tractor

Wanted Forson Power Major not for exhibition but for belt work, so tin work etc not important. Prefer local pickup. Cash waiting.

What have you?

No not killed the old one, need a second!. Fed up with taking off loader arms to use belt pulley. Been using a deisel grey fergie with surprising success,but had a good offer on it, so now got cash for Major. No experience with Nuffield, are they ok for spares?

Been trawling e bay, also got a couple of PMs to follow up, thanks for your help.

We got a nuffield 460 and its a great tractor and got plenty of power, never had a problem with spares for it. In fact just bought an engine rebuild kit and found a new block as cracked the old one last winter. We used it on a big road making compressor for running the rivit guns and squeezer when doing william and it never missed a beat. Quicker on the road than a major as well.

Jack vickery has one for sale atm
