Fordson Standard start up walk round.

Cold start, prime 4 times ignition off, ignition on, cross fingers, half choke start!

We have a few of the English versions here that we used back in the 60s. Ours has the cold manifold and the air washer on it. Always started ok. but the clutch always was a bit sticky. I see he has the required clutch pedal lock down on it, we just used a block of wood under the axle housing to hold it till it decided to release and warm up. Got a lot of useful work from them for years. Now they are retired. Simple motor but durable.

Open the carb drain then turn on the Petrol Tap to flush out any TVO then close the carb drain. Hard starting due to a mix of petrol and TVO in the float chamber as common problem

They are charismatic fellows, I love them. Can be teasers when starting. 3 pulls cough, 3 more nowt, 2 more, o ok Ill start now. Next time you go to them, straight up and running.

[@mrdexter1500]

Thanks for the comment. I cough, he splutters, but always starts in the end.

@@mrdexter1500 how many turns out on the needle do you run at? Mine likes about 1.5 turns out after two and a half to start.

[@mrdexter1500]

@@09amusement hi, mine runs at 1.5 turns once started. Yours is a very nice looking fordson,do you show it?

[@09amusement]

@@mrdexter1500 Thank you, I bought mine already restored. Yes, I do show him, my 1949 Petrol Ferguson pulls the trailer I use for transport. I'll try and send you some photos. I took them both to a 1940's event on the North Norfolk Railway. There is a video of this year's event on youtube too.

I grew up with one of these and our starting procedure was to crank on full choke (ignition on) until it fired, then one more pull on half choke would almost always start it. We never found it necessary to touch the mixture screw. To stop the engine we always turned off the TVO tap and then let it run on till it died, so all TVO was consumed. The only time starting was a problem was if we stalled the engine just after switching over to TVO.

[@mrdexter1500]

Thanks, I'll try it your way next time. Always really useful to hear from people who used them in the old days. 👍

Thank you, when they're reliable they are great little tractors.

Сколько же он отработал в свое время, и все ещё нн ходу, во. Она частная собственность на средства производства, по этому и дожили эти трактора до наших дней

[@mrdexter1500]

Tractor is 1942, before our time. And still doing a job.

[@mrdexter1500]

тракор есть 1942. до ндших дней. ещё делание ля работа.

[@ivanmullen3015]

Lovely tractor Mine doesn't start that handy

[@mrdexter1500]

Thanks, it needs a bit of tidying but starts pretty well....usually.

[@johnsawyer2516]

Why is the starting handle not removable. So that the driver can’t whack the tractor when it won’t start

[@mrdexter1500]

Or throw it over the hedge!

They can't grab, the design of them pushing them away when the engine fires
