Fordson Major Shawnee Poole

[Anderson Agri]

Purchased an incomplete/part built Scaledown Major off of Ebay other week with plans to rebuild it, but lack of parts and the fact i've got several already i thought i'd try something different, had some yellow paint lying around so was convinced into making an industrial major then settled on a Shawnee poole unit, although its fixed on the tractor the gooseneck can still rotate 180 degrees like it should, all thats left to do is decals and make some rear wheel centres for the trailer.

Long time since I've updated this topic. Really wasn't happy with it so I have changed it about. New 14x30 wheels and tyres fitted to both tractor and trailer. The extra weight from the hitch was causing the front axle to bend and become weak so I have replaced it with a UH major front axle. Suits it so much better and retains its steering functionality. I have also made the trailer removable which gives it a tighter turning circle and Less pressure on the tractor. Just need a set of decals to finish it off now

I like that a lot.
