there are 3 threaded holes in the pulley. uses these to remote the a pulley like this: https://www.aldee.nl/product/midlock-po ... h0OmTaIjIU
Or make something similar using a thick plate and welding on a nut in the middle

I just remember what the numbers are: 32 vs 26 theeth. More theeth, bigger gear that needs more space, so bigger casting. So it is all related

Or make a picture from the backside of the pto gearbox. the rusty one is the NP pto box in the pictures below, the other one is an 1962/ 1963 super pto box https://i.postimg.cc/h4QDTkJ9/IMG-20200416-184725.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/WzZsVZR9/IMG-20200416-184923.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/N0NskY7x/IMG-20...

Is there anything you could get on the pto to see if it makes a similar noise?

Henk,

I have oner or 2 seals for the major as a spare. I will measure them for you.
Only needed the super ones so far

the injection pump and coupling needs to be removed. It should be possible to pry out the seal from there
I'm not sure, but the seal size might be different on the NP super major

What you have must be the high speed version. I have 2 low speed new performance, . They go like 23 - 24km/h, which is like maximum 15mph

I did use a new shaft with old arms nd that just went alright. No experience wth the new arms they make
You might better look for good used ones

Hey, Mervin,

most suppliers do have the o-ring kit. you will need to order the paper gasket separately. Sometimes you can also order the plugs.
Agriline does now have a full kit also: https://agrilineproducts.com/ford-fords ... ices-50036

Only just seen your wishes Sandy,
All the best for a good 2024 to you and members.

hey Mervyn, lets make it a good 2025!
Best wishes to you all!

I'm wondering how the ball end of the gear stick looks like. If there's a lot of play it can be difficult to change gears.

can you make one with an old blanket as template?

Hi Sandy,

yes I own the 2 books myself. All pictures are made by members of blue force to highlight all models. There are pictures on the Ford 1186, Sem conversion and also the Australian fords

Here are some random pictures out of the book.

Yes you might have a gearbox seal issue, did you check the level in the gearbox.
Only if you have a creeper box, you need more oil. About 40liters is the standard.

About 7 years ago I installed a new oi bath filter on the super major, as the clamp was worn and the bottom part was beyond repair. It went with a V-type seal, but through the years it was always a pain in the ass to install and it never sealed well. Today I got it apart and found the seal had come ...

new solenoid did arrive last week, hope to fit it soon.

Yes, in this picture the cable is probably taken off. I need to put a new crimping end on it. Might get that fixed first and use the solenoid from another tractor to see if it's working. All might be caused by a bad connection, as there where sparks there in the past :s The tractor is now a bit far ...

this one looks close enough:

What about this model? Is this ever used on the fordson?

I think I need a new one. Seems like the stut is broken and I only have clicks when I try to start the tractor, but no luck so far.
Is this model still available? I just seem to find one with the start button on it.

Yes, the new seal is like twice the side.
I did cut it in half...
The split pins could be installed right away.

Henk, it might be worth taking the head off. It will allow you to check the liners for grooves.
Did you ever recondition the engine your self?

Henk,
I hope it will solve your problem.
Which oil did you order?

Good evening, question: do the new performance shaft with seal 44 fit into the older models pto housing from before June 1963? And the other way round, older shaft with seal 54 into np housing? Thanks and regards, Huub Hello Huub, the pto drop box does have a different size on a new performance tra...

The seal depends if you have a new performance tractor or not. The double lip is for the new performance tractor. All others have 2 seals back to back
