Hi. Im new to this forum and thought id join up as a good helping hand to my new project. I'm attempting to start an old fordson major been standing outside for about 15 years. I think she's taken water through the exhaust so I'm carefully removing bits as I go with a view of rocking the engine gently once I've some oil in the bores. My first query is what engine I have . I recall the owner saying something about a digger engine but 20 plus years ago and a bit keen to buy I wasn't listening as much as I should . It very similar to the major engine but the manifolds look different it was fitted with a element filter direct on the air manifold and the rocker cover has 6 screws holding it not the normal 2 bolts. Not too sure if i can upload photos but wondering if there were popular alternatives back say in the 80,s fitted to these. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
