Fordson ''Farm Major''?

Bill(Wis) · Apr 29, 2023

I just noticed in the Fordson lineup a tractor labelled as the Fordson Farm Major. It was produced from 1959 until 1962. I had never heard of it. 42 horsepower from a 220 cu inch engine. I know that the Power Major replaced the New Major in 1958. It had 52 HP from a 220cid engine and was produced from 1958 until 1961 when it was replaced by the Super Major in 1962. But how did the Farm Major fit into the scheme of things? Again, 1959-1962.

The 'Farm Major' has been discussed a couple of times on this forum, but specific details on it always seems a little vague. All that seems to be certain is that it was an Australian version (though not made in Australia) and pretty much the New Major with a few options removed.

See this thread: I think it's the most informative of all hw discussions that have been had on it:
