FORDSON POWER MAJOR AND IH FINGERBAR MOWER 

Still Working 70 years later !! What a Hell of an Investment

Never has So Much been Owed to any Tractor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

International reaper, my job as a boy on the very same setup, North Kelsey Carrs near the river ancholme, once my dad bought a Fahr mower, that reaper spent the rest of its life with nettles, never looked back lol.

Great use of zinc ridge

Proper tractor I've got a 63 super done 600 miles on it this summer 👍

I used one of these mowers, incidentally it is an International B23 mower, as a contractor over 50 years ago. I have some comments which you may or may not appreciate. Firstly, you do not have a swath board and stick on the end of the cutterbar. You would never mow grass without those things. Secondly, you have a Power Major which does not have draft or position control so you need to have some depth chains from your top link position down to your mower and they need to be set so that when you lower your mower down to the ground the heel is running along the ground. In your video the heel is up off the ground and even if the toe is running along the ground you are putting a tremendous strain on the cutter bar and in any case you are not cutting the grass low enough at that end of the cutter bar. But that is always going to happen if you don't bother to unlock the cutter bar which is clear to see at 4.26. And please please put some guards on that mower, especially a P.T.O guard but there should be one on the large pulley as well.

Rain Cap is a Great touch

There is just something nice about old tractors, and farm machinery, no offence to the driver but he looks as though he may have grown up with that tractor, best wishes to them all.

Enjoyed the video ,love the sound of the power major great tractor and also the finger bar mower. Have a power major myself and six cylinder super Mjr. Also an fr finger bar mower. I cut a length of angle the length of the finger bar, it fits nicely over the finger guards and looks good and protective. Liam Kelly kilkee Clare Ireland.

It's good tractor.

que bueno como me encanta esa vida laburar en la chacara en el fordson no anduve mucho pero anduve en el ford 4000 y 5000 y por ultimo en el 6600 acá en Uruguay andan mucho los forson major son muy requerido lo quieren mucho

Tidy major 😊. Sounds perfect 😊

Whilst appreciating the video and certain comments, I find it difficult to come to terms with the tall and skinny wheel equipment supplied for the UK and Europe. In Australia, our wheel equipment for the Majors was 750 x 16 fronts on a cast wheel and usually, 15 x 28's with the steel rim mounted on a heavy cast centre. 15 x 30's were an optional size and there was provision for the specials used in other applications.

Great video 🚜 thanks for sharing,

That old major sounds awesome, great video again love the blade guard.

Fantastic videos!! Will there be anymore mad about vintage tractors/ implements dvds? The previous 2 starring Robbie thorpe and friends were fantastic and by the looks of things there's plenty more to see!

Is this taken down St Johns please?

could you send me a picture of the Fordson key I have a Fordson myself but without a key

Finger bar mower?? That's a pitman type sickle mower -

I don't mean to smart major tractors are a heap of shite
