The Fordson Tractor Pages Forum

Hi , just thought I would just tell you about my major, joined the forum after acquiring a 1956 E1A, the tractor is in pretty good condition and has been reasonably well cared for but needs tidying , gauges inop, little in the way of brakes, got a lot of wear on front trunion pivot and am currently rebuilding the steering box, all seems very straight forward but will be good to seek advise when nec, just finding my way around the forum , its very interesting and has already been a great help.

Welcome spannerman,

Always nice to meet a new Fordson lover.

Any change of a picture of your 56 Major?

Hi Henk, would be glad to put on photo , but still have not worked out how yet!. Your tractor is a 57 model , must almost be the same I guess, thanks for your welcome, Regards spannerman.

Just put your picture somewhere on the www and copy the proporties and put them between img tags. [img] and they will light up.

Hi Henk, the major in its tractor shed where it was housed for fifty plus years, just up the road from where we live, Regards spannerman

By the way many thanks for the guidance.

Hello Spannerman
I don't think I have seen better tinwork, not to mention the rest of your lovely tractor.
Could I ask which part of the world you are situated in?
Not the UK, judging by the colour of the diesel.
Best, Adrian.

Hi and welcome Spannerman

As Adrian said a super original condition major - you must be pleased

Hi Adrian , yes that's just what we thought no dents or rot, well used but not abused, a one family owner and with light use it would seem, we a in the south of England, Yes Rick we are pleased , thanks for looking , cheers spannerman.

Great looking tractor.
Just a good wash and of you go.
