- With the new engine in the Fordson Super Major, we need to fit a front tyre and tube then a throttle linkage before attempting to see if it actually drives !
We catch up with other news of some of the projects and tractors we have currently and something may be going up for sale...

A very good cause for what you are doing for Collie dog rescue Kurt, and well and truly worth it too. sorry about the passing of Dewie at the end.🐕
He was a wonderful pup and it was very sad to lose him.
My condolences Kurt, I could understand after loosing my little girl last year, 🐕
@@LordMuck Likewise fella....... Likewise.........
Oh wow - hearing the sound of that engine brings back so many memories of great times.
That's a very kind thing to do. Good man. Thanks for taking us along. Be well.
Hi L muck great to see these old trackers refurbed well done, Best Wishes
Great ! memories of my childhood, the old Majors pottering about the landscape. My mate’s dad used to come home for lunch on one.
"It aint gotta be good, Its just gotta be good enough."
Another top quality video again Mucker. Thanks.👍
Great stuff Kurt and Puppo, have a nice week, Rest In Peace Dewie🙏👌👍😎
Always liked the majors, had three . Good starters, had a Super Major and two Power majors . Another good video .
Very entertaining 😆 nothing wrong with that welding either👍. Recently I seen a stop linkage held together with cable ties.
Awesome as always Mucker, my dad used to train sheep dogs for competition and work them on the farm - but he would never abandon an old friend even when they got too old or sick to work. Fantastic your doing so much for the collies. I’m Irish but living in Oz, you should take a spin down here some time and do some vids on the gear down here 👍👍
That would be a good video 😉
At least you can steer yours Lord Muck! My major 1957 back end/1963 super major engine combination stood outside for years and recently I had to fork lift the front end to get it in the shed as the steering box had seized solid. No doubt rainwater has something to do with it. Thanks for the video, I'm going to check how we adapted our linkage to fit the newer engine.
R.I.P. Dewie 🐕 .....A great idea for a great cause! 🙂 Excellent work all around, Lord Muck! 👌👌
It’s always a good a day when you release a new video. I like your practical approach just “getting stuff done”. Much like myself, I have a disability and I use a powerchair to get about so have to be resourceful.
Good to see Tom, and I see from a later comment he’s well.
You’ve created a great community. All the best Mucker.
Awesome🤓
I wish there would be a Playlist for this Tractor, so I could watch it in chronological order.
Great Job anyways.
The year is 2052, hey Rob look at this throttle rod, some body welded 3 different pieces together! LOL
"Whatever it was fitted to has long since rotted away but the throttle linkage is still there..."
@@LordMuck and it still has a little nail in the hole on the end!
@@douglasanderson7732 I'm claiming the initiative on that little trick. Only because I can't find the sodding tin full of assorted split pins...... again!
A temporary repair, unless it works.
Good one Muck, looking forward to the excavator shoppers guide.
You Sir are a legend! You obviously have a bit of a liking for the Dexta but are willing to sell her and help the Collies ! Bloody good show Mucker ! You guys are doing well with the old machines it’s good to watch ! Thanks for the content ! Oh and those Thermal Arc sets are great I’ve got one here ! Great for site work !
Great video kurt, good to see the old girl up n running, any harvest videos coming, see your insta photo of finished harvest. Get some of the fud weasel crap out and there be plenty room.
Your throttle linkage fix should be in the “Quick fix, bodges and creation” thread on The Farming Forum………..
…..except that the steel rod you used was too good. It would have been better if you had used an old electric fencing stake, preferably well bent!
Or better still, a bit of baller twine and an elastic band acting as a spring to keep it tight.
However, full marks for using de-ionising water instead of degreaser!
I like the expedient throttle linkage. If it works, it works! Pretty stuff can happen later🙂.
Good video. Good bit of farm fix. If it works there is nothing wrong with it. How many amps effing all of them cracked me up. Heart as big as yourself for caring for the Collie rescue. My hat is off to you. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers mate, love all your videos, I grew up in doset on a farm, the ford major was my learn to drive tractor for many years, I miss them every day.
Looks like you get great satisfaction when you get these tractors up and running enjoy your shows
Love the tractors love the Collies even more. Parents had one as child, her name was Lady....a most fine dog if ever.....thanks for this....big heart, peace.
LORD MUCK ANOTHER VERY ENJOYABLE VIDEO CANT WAITE FOR. ANOTHER.YOU HAVE IT GOING ON.
First tractor I drove,major,unique sound,lever throttle,heavy cluch!Dexta later grand tractor,always had the gearshift bolts finger tight,selectors were a nightmare,forever jamming,happy days!👍🚜
Ironically it came up in my picture memories on my phone. It was 31.7.2021 you bought the major. I was at the sale. It's Come on a long way in a year. Well done Mucka 🤔
Great entertainment. Good to see the Super Major move and a fantastic idea for the profits of the Dexter, well done.
Another excellent video your Lordship, keep up the good work you do, really enjoy your videos and of course your sense of humour.👍👌
Hi Mucker only been watching your channel for a short while but enjoying the content, I have a Dexta myself which I was restoring up until about 5 years ago but had to stop due to damaging my back which has left me unable to move about very well anymore but I have a friend who is going to help me finish restoring the tractor,
I do get asked on a regular basis if I'm selling it but I could never do that as my uncle left me the tractor, sadly he dropped dead from a heart attack about 19 years ago at the age of 39 but my daughter inherits the tractor after I'm gone so god knows what she will do with it though, anyway good luck with raising money for the Collie dogs a very worthy cause, as for me I've always had English Springer Spaniels but my uncle many years before he passed away had a collie sadly though it ran out of the farm gate and was run over by a car.
“That will be for another day”……🤣🤣🤣…. Year!!! 👍👍
Love a workshop where things are over the place, my mates place is a bit like that yet knows where everything is!
Good to see the ole churn of destiny acting at a fitting tool box table.
I actually look forward to Sunday nights to see these vids mate.
I hate it but we've had some much going on. Time for a clear out and clean up 😎
@@LordMuck great area to work in too I’d imagine, keeps the weather out
Have had the same welder for about 10-15 years, like you say, brilliant bit of kit 👌 although we have much bigger “better” machines I always seem to be whipping the little thermal arc out 👍great work as always , many thanks
Whahey it moves! Lots of blue oval today! Have fun getting the dexta ready for the sale, hope it makes a good profit for the collie's.
Is it me or is there red with a grey stripe everywhere in the background??
That excavator video is something to look forward too, a mate of mine might be in the market for one so can't wait to see all the in's and out's👍
Cracking vid als always, all the best!
Cheers, Mike
Excellent video, plenty to look forward to! The Major looks and sounds great!
Lovely video Mucker , lots going on . Making room for the Leyland is a great idea . Keep it going Mucker 🚜🔧👍
Great video to sit with a beer and have a watch, that major is a really nice original honest tractor, as I have got older I have come to realise in my opinion they are better in their working clothes tells a story and adds to the history. Sadly when I bought my first Fergie many many years ago I painted it, it's now starting to mellow nicely though. A really nice gesture for the collie rescue that Dexta will make a nice tractor for someone
Evening Mucker, I didn’t see anything wrong with your welding to those bits of rod! Great to see the old major move from it rebuild spot. Fenland Rob
Nice one mucker good to see the major's wheels turning again . Just where I started back in the day major super major and the little Dexter. Hope you make loads for the Collie fund
Excellent video as usual. Many thanks. Sorry to hear about Dewie.
Thanks Kurt cracking vid sir... Take care...
Cheers Kev 👍
You may have heard the expression "a grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't" certainly applies to me! What does it matter if it works?!
Your channel is pure gold love it
Like a man sees what needs to be done and does it with what he's got 💯
"put a bit of wind in there,". I thought maybe you were going to have The Fud Weasel and George Sanders over for a pint and beans on toast. Definitely get some wind that way.
Great video, m'lord, another classic from you
Great old tractors I've driven and worked on a few, all Irish built ones have a very nice brass id plate on them 👍
Great video love the old majors glad to hear everything coming on well you're so funny by the way👍
Your throttle linkage is a space age repair over the old spam can filter fix that you unearthed a few moons ago. Nice tyre swap although always good to see a guest appearance by Dan.
Lord Muck, I just thought I tell you about something I saw at local southern Wisconsin USA show. I showed it in my 8/5/22 DCAPC show video, a County 1164 with plow.
Great video Kurt👍 hope the major keeps its reg no sort off quite fitting for what she's had done 🙄😁 that Tom is a superb dog 🐕🤗🤗 we lost 2 dogs in past year an they're tough times ☹️ hope the dexta sells well it's for a great cause 👌
Yes we've got the number and logbook
Another great video well done with the fordson I just purchased a ransomes motor triple a this winter I am going treat myself to a ransomes mg5 crawler hope you are keeping well.
As a child I had a matchbox toy model of a super major with a tipper trailer attached. So for me a tractor is blue with red wheels and no cab. Crap for the farmer in real life, as this is a small island in the north atlantic and usually cold and wet, but that's a tractor in my rose tinted world. 😎 Great vlog as usual. 🤡🐔
Brilliant stuff as always dog rescue is a great cause .our two dogs died last week they were both 15 years old english setters we are Hart broken
Sorry to hear that Morgan.
Top video melod!
Lots to look forward too.
Nice to see the old girl running and moving I've missed the other videos on the major I've got pictures of my grandad driving his major 947hrt so seeing that plate is nice as it's close to his
The links to the other videos are in the description below this video
Hello there. The Dexter what a good little tractor. They all stick in gear. Fordson and later Ford's alike.
Its bang on way to do it sell the Dexter and use that to help the Collie project 🙏 great to see the major turning it's wheels 👍 keep up the great work 🍻 cheers have a good un 👍
Your a top bloke mucker respect
Cheers Joe 👍
Sweet as mate you blessed the Leyland lol.😂😂Brilliant it's for a cracking cause. That's a really good cause mate. Alway leave a like
Nice One Lord Muck Thanks again
Fun bit about linkages like that is just a trip to the hardware store to get a length of rod and some heim joints. Cut the rod to length, thread the ends with a die, add the heim joints and look new linkage not hard at all. Why people think parts on equipment can't be made is beyond me
How many Amps Fxxkin all of them lol.
Great welding section got it done ✅
Great video keep it up
Another great video,well done mate.
No end of tractors, good of you to sell the Dexter to raise money for the collie dogs and get the Leyland out of your hair. My Grandfather had a Leyland Marina when I was a kid and it was Shiiite, so I'm a bit wary of Leyland vehicles and a Leyland tractor send a shiver up my spine.
I am in Australia and went with my brother to unbog a neighbours ute and there was a grey Massie in a barn and my brother asked what he was doing with it (it wold has pulled his ute out save us bringing our tractor over) and he said it didn't run well and we got the impression it had scared him. So my brother bought it for AU$1500 or 750 quid, good for a little grey diesel that goes and we have a spare donk.
Keep up the entertaining work and look forward to next time.
Top Welders those Thermal Arcs have one myself brilliant tools.
Yep, the Thermal Arc is a brilliant little welder 175 amp 👍
Great to see the Major starting. Hopefully you manage to raise a good bit of money for the dog charity.
Just the greatest 😊♥️
Excellent film inserts 😂😂
Great video...fare play ..
Everyone knows you should have used 7018 , pre heated the metal , hopped on 1 leg while reciting Shakespeare , sing the national anthem...... etc 🤣
I love watching the channel 👍👍👍
I think you have made another cracking video great to see doing charity work 👍
No pigeons harmed during the welding process 🕊
strongest weld is the hottest weld never mind the splatter well done
Particularly fine episode. Made me laugh and showed your humanity again. Good one. Any chance of a close up pic of your tyre pump, I've got the same one but no ends and can't remember what they look like where it exits the pump - if you get q minute. Ta!
Drop me a message on FB or Insta 👍
I think it's the basic engine that was used in the Thames Traders, Ford 'D' Series & some Cargo's but i may be wrong
No it's different to those but some early Traders had a similar block, yes
Certainly Dan, lovely hair, deserved the recognition, but he has nothing on the Mucker when dealing w/ steer tires, As for large drive rear rubber, we'll leave those to Dan for the time being .🚜
Legend! 👌
Sorry to hear about dewie.
Brill vid mucker , farther ted , well that’s just awsome , to say how tis , top man as allways great vids 👍❤️
I can tell you and I went to the same school when it comes to welding 😂 one of two things will happen, it will either stick or make a bigger hole 😅
I've yet to have a weld fail or break 😉
@@LordMuck I wish I could say the same 😅
Dis is the first time i der you on you tupe,and ya you toke a lot but that good.
The fords tractors you have Like good.
When i was youg i drove a ford dexta and the majoor

Good video Kurt - Thanks
You should save the Major to sell on to one of the know all "DEtractors"
With the HRT Number Plate it would be highly appropriate.😹😹😹
We had Major with a Horndraulic loader on it, sold it cos dad was a bit of an Evil Kenivil on anything with wheels!
Of course it will not even seen the video yet but I know it will!
Another great video good luck with dog charity hope you raise load's
If you could pick any make or model out of the vintage late 50s/60s machines. Would Fordson be your go too?
You look a bit surprised when the old Ford's super major fired up was it a bit of a shark that it went So quick
Ah, the magic of editing
Editing what ?
@@LordMuck the tyre refitting struggle
Oh don't 🤦🏻♂️ To be fair they're not the worst but those thick cast wells are a pig to get the bead over.
No smoke good engine, power steering needs attention 😂,. Oh it's Armstrong power steering😂
Lovely old tractor for an oily rag restauration 👌😃
You use what have and do it better later,that was how we fixed things on our farm 🚜😉😎😏😜.
