Hi, Larry,

Just read the other emails and noticed you have already found the information you were looking for. I have a Fordson Super Major 5000, 1963, and am pretty keen on the tractor.

Sounds like it is around 1953. Just behind the starter on the flange is a number. Post this and we can get it down to the month of production.

Brian

Larry,
You have a May 1955 tractor. Whenever you get parts etc. it will be helpful to quote this number.

thanx brian for the info I havent been able to find the flange you were talking about . the tractor has a loader on it that is kind of in the way I will have to remove it since the tractor requires some work I believe it needs a clutch it tries to move but not much and the engine does not seem to even know it is in gear .got any pointers on how to do this. I knew its condition when I bought it it runs great needs some cosmetics not much paid $1000 for it figured I could get that out of the loader .any help would be appreciated thank you/larry
