Went baling with the fordson major.
Just a quarter acre down the lane, did the baling, got back to the farm, smoke pouring off the engine, shut the throttle down and it stops.
Seized.
Feck.
No water in the radiator.
Feck.
Feck.
Feck.

Gently cool it down, get it filled with water, will turn on the starter but not fast enough, tow it off and it runs fine.
Is breathing a bit heavy but running ok.
Time will tell...

That one will be fine I reckon,tough old engines them.Different story if it’s low on oil tho.

She baled about 100 conventional bales yesterday without issue.
Seems to be running well, hardly anything coming from the engine breather now.

If it was mine I would change the engine oil, having a serious cook won't have done it much good.

From what I remember of Majors, they had a self change policy
Continually leaking out out old and being topped back up with new

I'd go and measure the depth and check the spec. If it's not to depth it's not your fault

Looks in about the same shape as a leaf blower I left in the combine header once. Don't ask.
