Got the old 1953 Major out to pull 4 saw logs out. Good fun driving on 2 wheels and steering with the brakes🫣.

There nothing like the feeling of a metal seat on a frosting day.

Depends entirely on the work you do. A large tractor would be no use to me- 40hp is ample. Agility and hydrostatic transmission compensate a lot for less hp when it comes to nature reserve type jobs. I prefer a to use a smaller tractor for a ‘surgical’ job rather than making a mess.

I still miss my 59 Power Major. Only parted because the water kept getting into the oil despite many attempts at fixing it. I reckon there was a porous section somewhere in the block.

If I remember right, they were wet liners, with seals at the bottom. Often a cause of fluids mixing.

I heard of someone with the water in the oil problem,their solution was to drain radiator and refill with oil.Then they just took some oil out of engine every so often and put it back in the rad.
