That's a lot of play, it should be solid. Make sure the socket is solid on the shaft as well. Both should be wire locked. Billy has a fair amount of play but we have no issues with changing gear, Super Billy is harder because of the new detent retainers but that's it. That's not to say it's impossi...

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. Hi Mathias! I've looked at that and there isn't much at all. There was, however, a certain play in the end knob before but that was fixed. I had to re-thighten it and it now wo...

You can only move one at a time, there's an interlocking bar to prevent selecting two gears at once. The upper one is more awkward bur seems to be the one that works better from your other comments (it's the one you use when selecting with the lever towards the LH side), I think it's ok. Well, Its ...

I looked in the registration papers of my tractor and it reads:

ID number: 1600233

If I type that information into a website for Fordson tractors it reads that the tractor is from april 1961.

I made this short video last summer regarding the fork selector (because that was my first guess as well). I thought that the forks should be able to move (both of them) but according to the tractor workshop I went to they said it was working flawlessly. If thats correct or not I dont know. I'm not ...

(one gets locked and the other side moves free). https://www.flickr.com/photos/201925399@N07/54186668978/in/album-72177720322393160 Here I'm on ...

wow! I'm thrilled over the vast amount of comments you have. Thanks for that! I'm not too familliar with everything on the tractor. Where might I find the serial number? When the rear axle is high, is the gearbox low? The answer is yes. If so you have one of the commonest problems with Major's, the ...

Worked great first half of the year but then problems started to arise... First I had problems with the hydraulics pressure being too high. Alot of changed orings a...
