Fordson Major Discovery

I found this little beauty hiding in the undergrowth while walking in Cornwall in August 2009....couldn't resist pretending she was mine in another life.

i hate seeing them sitting their rusting fix it up or sell it to some one who will

[SeberHusky]

The longer it sits there, the worse it will get. The time to act is as soon as you see it!

it has the magic rare #s on the transmission just below where the seat is and has a 60hp OHV inline 4 motor with the hydrostatic select - o - drive setup. im still learning about the tractor since im helping in the restoration of it and i dont off hand know what model # it is but he said its an industrial type, whatever that means. ill try to get a video of it soon and post it on youtube. youll have to check my channel occasionally to see if its there yet. soon though :)

a friend bought a chunk of farm land from the owners who knew this beauty of a 1958 ford tractor was hiding under overgrown bushes. they said it was there but we didnt see it till we went looking. we pulled it up onto a flatbed and to the barn where we did a short restoration process. full cleaning, replace whats needed, fluid flush and replacements, air filter retrofit, tires, seat, alternator, fan belt, points and gastank. and it now purrs ;)

@fattony252 bad idea, that would make it vanish

You need a 55 gallon bucket of RustaGone.

When you can-sneak back and put some lub in the cylinders in the event you ever buy it.
