Fordson E27N P6

Fordson E27N with factory fitted Perkins P6 diesel engine ploughing with a Ransomes TS59J three furrow plough.

Magic sounds!!! I love the transmission drone under that lovely Perkins burble.

[@ericchapman399]

The P6 transformed a good workaday tractor into real powerhouse. The extra wheel weights are essential to give better traction and balance for the heavier engine and added power.

I always think P6's sound ahead of their time , nice!

Had ine of those back in the 1950s but it had a low speed gear box. You couldn't swing it like the TVO models, had a young chap try once and it knock three teeth out ehrn it kicked back.

Our Fordson E27N P6 was stolen by the Turks in August 1974 and was shipped to Turkey.

[@chrpchr1christodoulou476]

It was shipped to Turkey by the Turks when they occupied the northern part of Cyprus in 1974. I will pay a lot if I can get it back to Cyprus. I drove it when I was 6 and I used the 2nd and the reverse gears only as I could not push the level to engage the 1st and the 3rd gears because the clutch lever was on the right (!!!) and the gear lever on the left side.

Love the P6, just wondering if it was ever fitted to the later Fordson Majors? I know some County Crawlers had Ford 6 cylinder engines fitted but not by Fordson.

[@ericchapman399]

There was 4d and 6d fitted to the "Ford Thames Trader Trucks" in the 1950s.

TRACTOR !!!!!!

[@matthewcoupe393]

I am after a P6 if this is for sale let me know thanks

[@bluegtturbo]

Vastly superior to any Fordson engine fitted

Question: Is the transmission noise normal?

[@farmerjack101]

that whine is perfectly normal, these old tractors have done a lot of work in second gear and they probably had that whine from about six months old!

[@traum712]

Thank you for your reply, I laughed a lot, they probably had crying about six months old! Unthinkable today. I looked at these viedeos because I saw such a tractor and I thought a 6cylinder Perkins in a Fordson certainly a strong tractor. Thank you.
