I have Fordson Major tractor i would like to identify. I"m confused because serial number on tag say 1216497 and on this web page it says that first Major(1951) had serial 1217101.
Here is the data: FORDSON MAJOR Machine no : 1216497
TYPE 7*7 HIGH SPEED GEAR
SPECIAL RATIO(INTERMEDIATE GEARS)
MANUFACTURED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY LTD
DAGENHAM ENGLAND.

On engine block there is "carved" number : N6050E

The tractor you have is a 1951 Fordson E27N Major tractor. The new Major was announced in December 1951 starting with serial number 1217101. The number N6050E is the part number. The E27N tractor followed the model N tractor and was a stop gap tractor till Ford recoverd from the war and developed the new Major tractor. MJ

Thank you very much for this info. I forgot to mention that it is mixed fuel engine. Is it possible to buy kerosene somewhere these days? Is there a negative effect(overheating or similar) in running mixed fuel engine only at petrol wich is used only until engine heats up?
