You should have no problems with your Major they are just about bomb proof!!!. We still use them for certain types of site work today!!. We also have a lot of machinery powered by the 4D/6D engines. Get the pump sorted soonest it is not a expensive job and if looked after will give years of service. If the injector's have'nt been serviced or checked get them done at the same time. In England the de-commpresion lever was only fitted to industrial spec. motors so it is most likley a replacement but should still be good, in fact you should have about 6/10 h.p. more. Always change the engine oil on a regular basis and everytime change the oil filter. The gearbox and rear axle oil should be changed, but only if you can get hold of 90/140EP gear oil. Thinner oils fall off the cogs as they turn very slowly!!. One final tip every six months change your fuel filter, the paper tends to collapse. Every winter make sure the glass water trap bowl has no water in, they crack easy!! and every winter crack open the rear axle drain bung you usally get about a cup of water out due to condensation, the water can damage the hydrualic pump on frosty mornings. Enjoy the best tractor ever made!!
