The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

I have a fordson, it is the one that had originally an optional live pto drive as optional but has a 2 stage clutch in this case which means according to tractordata.com that it was made between 1958-1961 and personally I think it might be a 1961 model if they have the info correct as it has both power steering and an alternator, anyway my problem is that this tractor has 3 coolant hoses, one as a upper radiator hose, one as a lower radiator hose and the 3rd is what I call a filler hose, well its the filler hose that has died from rot causing me a load of problems getting coolant back into the radiator so I need to enquire where such a hose can be purchased and please do not recommend ebay uk as no seller appears to even know what that is

Live clutch/two stage clutch was available from 1957 to the end of production in 1964. If you post the number from under No.1 injector and a couple of date codes from the castings we can give you a year and month of production.

All the hoses are readily available and appear on e-bay on a regular basis. Google Malcolm Hipperson and he will supply one or as many as you want. It is, as you say, the radiator filler hose.

From what you wrote, I picked up that you're thinking you have a power major?

Anyway, your profile says you live in the UK, and therefore agriline should be a good choice:
