Can anyone help me find some info on my tractor?
I have a working Fordson (gas) that needs alot of TLC. I have been trying to determine the mfg date and where it was built. The S/N is 1231056. From there I hope to locate operator's and service manuals. My grandfather also had a Fordson Major Diesel that he wrecked for parts, so I have a variety of parts kicking around the farm that may/may not work on this tractor.
Thanks, Rob

You were wondering if the Diesel Major parts will work on your tractor. Apart from the engine the gas and diesel versions were made from the same parts. Actually also the engines had many same parts. There were some modifications made over the years mainly in the engine but the parts from the diesel should fit to you gas tractor right away.

I just bought a 54 Major, serial no 129..... and have an original manual I can copy for you if you can't find one anywhere. It has a LOT of info and is very clear.

Serial number gives July 1952 so she is fairly early. The first ones were built in production in January of that year.

Treat her well! ;0)

Rob,

I have several gas major"s and you can email me if you have any questions or need contacts for parts. The best source for manuals that I have found is Ebay. You can also purchase an IT Shop Manual FO-201 at most ag parts stores but it won"t cover the gas engine.
