[AT] Ford Diesel

[charlie hill]

Mike lots of folks would consider a Fordson or a Major to be a small 
tractor.  Most models were less than 40 hp.  That must be what Mike is 
referring to.
I'm familiar with them but don't know a thing about them.

All of the Ford (and New Holland) compact diesels were built by Shabura
in Japan. There were some specialty tractors built during the very brief
Sperry-Ford years. I think that the only British built Ford diesels were
the somewhat larger "Major" and "Fordson" farm tractors. I could be
wrong about that - it wouldn't be the first time or the last. My point
is that, if he knows the model number of the tractor, service manuals
for the compact diesels are still available.
