Good stuff Kurt , Puppo and Mythical mystical Clarence, have a good week Fellas👍🙂

[@matthewbrittain2919]

Best noise in the world, the clickety clack of a Simms pump. Good work as always mucker.

[@joefarrow8054]

Love a Fordson - fantastic video. Always nice to find/save a local machine.

[@Svein-Erik]

Great tractor these classics 👍 There was an expression once called "never underestimate a grown man with a Major" 😃

[@brianmeattey4151]

Some peaple don't understand the concept of repairing a motor and think that there sub is gonna kill ya to lose them pfft not .I love your vids and you are a very smart person whom understands the proper way to do things .great vid godbless and stay safe

[@andyplimbley630]

Nice job again mucca, owd Magor got some lovely patena glad to see your keeping the key board warriors at bay, stay safe mate see ya later

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

That old block would make a good boat anchor. I would say it was done. Can't wait to hear the new engine run.

[@iksexplorationsfollower2588]

I wouldn't worry about what others think or say, or think they know, The right way is what you have done, check over first then pull down and then order what you need. I think I sort of know, I manage a tractor museum here in Queensland Australia, here we have to order some parts from over sea's and we can't afford to get stuff that we may not need. Keep up the good work.

[@glennlingard7851]

Well done on the super major, see she’s not livedrive which isn’t the end of the world, as for people who have negative comments, l think you might want to totally ignore them, they’ve usually absolutely no idea, looking forward to seeing your next video with interest.

[@LordMuck]

No, I play with them when I'm bored. They seek attention but don't get the sort they desire... Most simply get fucked off into the ether.

[@tomgriffin286]

Another great video Mucker. Leave the tin work as it is - it's the tractors history. I'm looking forward to more on the Dexter.

[@markhall9048]

That super major is a real gem of a find definitely worth saving 👍 another great post keeps me well entertained perfect end to a busy day 🍻 cheers

[@4321grp]

I grew up on a farm in USA, We had a Dexta Diesel, a 1957 Major with a row-crop front end , and a 1962 Ford 5000 Super Major; Those were three great tractors, we did a lot of farming with those three Fordsons.

[@remusgherman4602]

I am right now working on a super major engine tractor and I find your work soo encouraging.. I didn't now what kind of tractor I am dealing with, because it is very old and I didn't have documentation when I was buying it. Thanks to this filming and other's I found what model is, so I coud order the parts that I need... 😁👍

[@stevesalvage1089]

Totally ignore negative comments , most people would , it's good people like you save stuff !

[@LordMuck]

They are nothing more than sport

[@Brad-lt6mr]

Haha, order the parts first! Reminds me of when I was an AA patrol, this guy got angry with me because I didn't have the parts to fix his car at the roadside. He'd run the engine dry of oil and seized it.

[@EricWillis77]

Literally nobody orders a lot of expensive parts without seeing what is needed first🤷🏼‍♂️🤪🤣🇺🇸⚡️🇬🇧⚡️

[@marksaunders2500]

Hi from durham KM @ LM great little on the fordson and engine in that lovely ford blue too 👍 shame about the original block tho 😢 cant wait to see where you go with it 👌 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋

[@larsandersson4126]

I was hoping it would be a 6cyl trader engine you mounted 😉

[@jamesbradley1241]

Great episode I have a old super major in the shed my grandfather got it new way back in the fifty's it has a petrol engine in it It doesn't have a 3 point leakage but has 2 PTO on it It needs a over haul on the engine it's been sitting around for to long Keep up the good work mucker Cheers

[@scottsaunders3112]

Good film mucker always look forward to them. You've got some nice tractors in your workshop. Just remember to order the parts before you see what they need.😂 take care.

[@dirkshere]

Love these videos, you show how to do it properly. Your shed just be full to busting point with projects. 👍👍

[@paulthompson8467]

Thanking you for a fine video super major is my favourite ford tractor of all time learned how to drive on my grandads 1961 super am hoping to buy one in the future relive my youth lol cheers and take care

[@pyroplim6967]

Never driven a Major . Driven loads of dextas as they were the default scraper tractor at the time i was starting out in my first job on farms.I never had the joy of the gearbox getting stuck and always wonderd why some dexters had only one or two loose bolts holding the gearleavers down.My dream going to town rig would be a super major hooked to a Kidd rotoflail and a wooden sided trailer. Awesome vids mucker.

[@tonymorgan3526]

Great video mucka, once again you kept us entertained, and why we love what you do 👍

[@kenmurray4232]

I always love to see your pup telling you to wrap it up. Beautiful Border Collie. You should know by now that the Lube Tube parts cannons are the "only" way to do repairs, lol

[@ryanjohnson4320]

Another great video. Its bloody snowing here again in southern Manitoba. We should be planting. Always surprises me about the armchair mechanics/project managers/funders. They can frog right off.

[@alexandermckellar4001]

Great video. Love seeing the old stuff.

[@dancaulton6280]

Love these vids of the old stuff. A lot of us would love to be able to work on these so it’s great we can see someone else doing it 👌🏻

[@jasonmassey805]

Great vid mate look forward to the dexter vid just make sure you order anymore parts before inspecting anything lol

[@R.Sole88109]

Anything can be saved with enough skill, determination and usually money...plenty of money!

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Lord Muck :) always is planning on what need also don't need and best ways ! You got it planning for Major tractor just right and looking forward more videos too watch soon too! I like that new motor setup too 👌 and going make Ford Major live and well for years! To bad old motor had better days for sure!

[@robertspear9134]

When i was watching the new engine going into the major I thought " that old engine must be trashed" and yep it is. Thanks for saving another workhorse from the glue factory. Keep em coming.

[@struthbrown8767]

my bro had a super major for years on his small holding. was a nice old tractor; same blue colour. he then sold it and got a, i think korean or chinese thing which was much more modern, but it had no class lol. he had a few add ons for it for doing jobs. it wasnt really a working small holding, but a hobby . good job so far...

[@rsraver]

Another awesome video Mucker just love it when those folk think they know better and you tell them straight how it is 😂 look forward to the next vid 👍 take care

[@jeremymellor9175]

To lord muck love the video s on the super major and dexter tractors looking forward to your next blog from jeremy mellor England

[@jankotze1959]

The original mudguard lights on the Major is very special, love that tractors, our 1000 series Fords had them as well

[@trevorpearson1832]

Enjoyed the video as always. Thanks. Looking forward to seeing the upcoming videos.👍

[@andyanderson9165]

Great vid! Always look forward to seeing what you video next!!!

[@kevinmothers904]

Did just the same thing back in the late 1970s, replaced a 1957 seized major engine with a 1963 super major as the donor tractor didn't have the live drive clutch on it. Still have the old girl in the shed ready to do her up one day!

[@smallsuffolkfarmer]

Good to see Rex he popped up to my place today.

[@andrewwright1200]

First things I ever drove in 1980 were Major Diesel loader (vacuum thottle) and Super Major's. Loved them, clutch changed, injector pump recon, head gasket change etc. Just don't mix your bolts and fine thread bolts up when rolling the engine back on the gearbox.

[@KahnPartridge7710]

Lovely vid Kurt, save the crank, chuck the rest in the bin 👍

[@charleshart6992]

Another excellent video! Super Major looks great too!

[@eveningstar3230]

Brilliant!! I am away to order some parts for a machine I havnt bought yet just incase!!!!

[@Robstew9000]

Good video mucka hope that guy goes to a garage for his servicing and the garage buys all the even if there not needed then bill him for them 😜

[@gmartin8240]

Lovely video on the engine for the Fordson Major , never mind the comment from the that crockwobbler . Keep up the great contents in the videos 👍🚜

[@landyboy88]

Great video again mucka. Keeping up the hard work as usual 👍🏻

[@chox2001]

Nice quick engine swap it looks a whole lot better.

[@waltermattson5566]

I will have to look for a recent video and see how it runs.

[@terrygreen4338]

Just order one of everything !!!🙄 old majors never die they just get better enjoyed the video cheers 👍🚜.

[@kevinmcdonnell2298]

Keep doing it the way you do it it just makes sense not everyone has money to throw away on parts that might not be necessary

[@jimdavison4981]

Great vid as usual . Your dog is an absolute star.

[@philipm1009]

Great video can't beat a Fordson major great machine

[@johnd7288]

They are my favourite tractor !

[@johnwarwick4105]

Having grown up with majors we always thought the vacuum governers were superior and more responsive🤷🏻‍♂️ Nice tractor very original and complete, looks like it’s been sat in a shed out or the rain for many years.

[@kevinwillis9126]

Thanks Kurt great vid sir... Take care..

[@LordMuck]

Cheers Kev 👍

[@nickthomas8400]

did a super 64 engine back in 76 - wet liner problem the block rusts out at the base of the liner dropping water into the sump! had the very last block from the dagenham stores!! Lucky! engine still running (now as a doner)

[@bobpaterson1845]

Feelin the word "NONCE""🤣🤣 an just in case you forget Kurt order the parts for the tractor that you thought about buying 🙄 gotta just love the old majors lookin forward to seein her run👍

[@johnbarham7718]

Thats the result of the deskilling of the workforce and/or comprehensive education. (irder the parts first)

Love the super major the sound of the simms pump back to a better time in farming when life on the farm was easy and no sitting in the farm office for 3 days filling out forms lol

[@chrishughes8011]

That is an incredible patina on the major - looks like it's sat in a shed for a few years. The price for the County you reviewed was incredible, can't help think what it's doing to the vintage/classic hobby pricing people out of it....

[@LordMuck]

If folk want something, they have to pay. It's not a 'right' to own something.

[@chrishughes8011]

@@LordMuck true - and I suppose the other way to look at it is that what were once abandoned as "expensive basket cases" are now worth restoring.

[@markbowen3638]

Nice engine swop, you have to know when to call time on what is now basically a boat anchor. It would also seem to me ,having spent a good few years keeping classic cars on the road, there are those that do and those who tell you what you should do. I usually end up telling them to f@(k off! Keep up the good work mucker!😄

[@christopherspencer3124]

Take no notice of the idiots, I think you do great videos and inspire me to get on with my projects. Love the “I’m getting the word….” 😂😂😂

[@thegregdavieschannel]

I deseized one of these years ago using an injector crack pressure tester. I did get it turning over and cranking on the starter, but it had really low compression and so wouldn't run. It got weighed in for scrap not long after.

[@LordMuck]

This was fucked so no point.

[@ianhaggart1438]

Good work sir. You better watch your getting to much blue/or rusty blue in that shed 🤫😉😁. Nice seeing the seemly dead things brought back to life no matter what they look like. Keep them spanners clinking .. stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@mikeduin8311]

Solid super major you got there! Surprised you didn't put in a Tommy and turkish videoclip in when showing the old engine block, proper f****d😅. Wish you happy tinkering with the super major and dexta. Cheers, Mike

Wat you needed before ya bought the major was a ...crystal ball ....had a quick look n see wat you needed ....then ordered ALL the parts...!!!!! jus sayn...

[@kevinbaker6168]

I liked Clarence trying to be the equipment clairvoyant. "We'll jack up the hood emblem and put a whole another tractor under it."

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

So did I, that was my favourite part.

[@jeffhamilton3603]

Love Joe Dirt's Mom and Dad! 'it just does!" and Julian never spills his rum and coke! - as far as parts - you can always order ahead the chrome exhaust.

[@Bazza1973ify]

Re: Dexta starting Mucka, check & or adjust the spill timing on the injection pump, Dad used to have a Dexta & for whatever reason the spill timing was out although to our knowledge had never been touched, adjusted to what it was supposed to be & starting improved 100%. not saying yours is out but worth checking 👍

[@patkelly9907]

Pressed steel rims came out on the one we bought new in 1964 which left the steering a lot lighter (No power steering them days )

[@LordMuck]

It was an option on the blue orange Supers (most were on cast wheels) and Standard on the New Performance.

[@patkelly9907]

@@LordMuck Ok so the Orange ones with the heavy wheels we 1962 would that be right Does that tractor have diff lock

[@LordMuck]

Yes.

Watch ye push that together just waiting for that satisfying moment when the gears align and she pops together... and you cut it..FFS robbed I feel robbed here 😂😂.

[@LordMuck]

It didn't really, it just kept sliding together until we bolted it up, nowt special.

[@jefftheaussie2225]

The first thing you should have ordered before the head came off was some crack filler. Everyone knows they will need some of that. I have always found that if you go through the parts catalogue and order everything, you can cover all contingencies, anything you don’t use will come in handy eventually. Anything that is promoted as universal will probably not fit anything at all but will come in handy later for fixing push bikes. Off course on all restorations you replace everything so there is no excuse at all for under preparedness. X-ray vision is not absolutely essential but can be quite useful in some situations. Jeff

[@bartin-earthmoving]

What a lovely doggo... Oh yeah, I do have to laugh at how quickly keyboard mechanics expect you to fire the parts cannon before you even diagnose the problem.

[@whitestream5233]

Hey love those old super majors, it was the first engine I cut my teeth on. I was only 10 or 11 years old and I did a rebuild on my uncles super major after he had cooked the engine . Did new pistons and liners and bearing shells . That's a good engine swap you're doing , I think it will have a little more power if it's out of the super Power major? That would be the blue and grey model I think. As for the comment on ordering parts, You need to know what's needed before ordering what you need . Looking forward to seeing that super major running . All the best , Thank for another great video.

[@andysimpson5159]

Once again a fantastic video. May I ask a question over 50 years ago as a kid I worked on a farm with a few tractors one was what I thought was a dexter now I’m not to sure, what I remember was that it had a button on the right side that you had to press with your calf and put it in gear to start it there was a key but only to make an electrical circuit what was the tractor.

[@LordMuck]

Fergie ?

[@laurencecharlton8760]

👍All the majors I was brought up on,am now an old gimp!!,had belt pulleys driven off the bell housing,thought they were standard out the factory,maybe a Yorkshire thing.🤔👍

Forgive my ignorance but what is the difference between Dexter and Super Major and the rest is it like the difference between say a te20 and a 135 or is it more like the difference between a 35 and a 65?

I know, email your parts supplier and order a box of assorted duvelackies and some cable ties and you will be good to go and maybe some chassis black, bit of paint does wonders.

[@rogerbond7811]

That bloke going on about the spares is the same as many in the office when I worked on aircraft , sometimes you could know what was needed, sometimes after hours troubleshooting you were still on wiser. The embarrassing bit was a part sent down from Rolls Royce Derby to Heathrow by taxi only to find it's the wrong part.

[@garethsinnamon4401]

Hello, had you much difficulty finding the engine for your Major? . My father used to have super and power majors. We had a power major parked in our shed for years that had put water into oil. But it was sold because a good second hand engine or short could not be found. But that's 25 years ago🤔🤔

[@rustyshank912]

I agree with the engine change sometimes the best isn't "proper". If my Case 700 was too far gone when I bought it. I probably would used an engine from a 730, 830, 770, or 870.
