Mattias71 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 My latest purchase, a Fordson Major Diesel from 1952. Founded her on the web and couldnt resit her at all. Need a loving home and some new crank shaft bearings and paintwork... 450 euro.... :D What do you think ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a loving home and some new crank shaft bearings and paintwork... 450 euro.... :D What do you think ??? looks really straight and original Matty, from the 2nd year of manufacture, before they put the Diesel badge on. Pretty rare and a bargain as it's so original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattias71 Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Cheers lads The engine restore will maybe take a little time to do, because i do it myself. But it is a very easy engine to work with and there are plenty of spareparts in Sweden for those tractors, and the best of all, the parts are fairly cheap I'm a Fordson owner now!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattias71 Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Marky praise a blue one :o :D Cheers mates, well, im really pleased whit my purchase, and as you say Sean, it will keep me happy for a very long time! And its nearly the same as my grandfather buyed in 1952?, that was allso one of the reasons for me to buy her, that one was the first one i ever had driven, back in the seventies. I told him about it today when i went home to Gotland and i saw a tear in the old mans eye. He was so happy about that there was a Major back in the family again, and he started to talk about old memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 For that money she is absolutely fantastic - wish I could get one as good for that money \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias71 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Cheers Yes indded a good price, but theres alot of work with the engine. I dont know how many 1000 of those Fordsons that was sold here in Sweden and they are still a common sight on farmyards and behind old sheds nearly allover the country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
