    I’ve just cleaned it with a wire brush and yes it F29F. So just to confirm it’s a 1961 , possibly industrial use, but if I look for parts I could quote Fordson Major to make life easier?

    Yes, I think it is an industrial or truck engine of 1961 vintage. Your fuel injection pump was not used on the Fordson Major, the tractor fuel lift pump was mounted directly to the block where your blank plate is attached. I do not know how interchangeable the tractor and industrial/truck engine parts are.

    Can you move the fuel pump to here

    That is were the tractor engines fuel pump is mounted, so I would say yes. Camshaft should be the same on all  4 cylinder mk 11 engines, according to my source, Vintage Tractor Special No. 10 Fordson New Major E1A 1951-64

    The 8 bolt injection pump was introduced in december 1953 and not 1957 as I erroneously mentioned, my mistake, sorry. 

    Are your casting marks  F29F?  I make this to be May 29 1961 but stand to be corrected

    I would say your engine is a mk 11 industrial version, post April 1957, as it has 6 fixings for rocker cover and 8 bolts to the fuel injection pump cover. Have you any casting codes (letters/numbers) on the other(near) side towards the front below exhaust manifold and above the dynamo? The tractor version of engine does not have the fuel pump mounted on the injection pump. A Ford Industrial Products dealer should be able to help you with regards year/age of engine.

    6 cylinder versions had the injection pump driven by a short shaft, I wouldn't know whether that would be feasible or not. I should imagine getting parts for that would prove to be difficult, but not necessarily impossible as they are a popular engines for repowering Majors

    1506 and 1508 not shown/used,  perhaps it should read 1329 as these were 550 gallon fuel tanker.

    Interesting picture, no booms to refueller, although I don't know when they were/were not used. That looks like 1308 on the door, maybe an error when being marked up pre invasion, presumably the picture was taken in '44 or later?

    @rewdcoA few questions,

    What is the soft iron or copper wire for (emergency) HT lead?

    Where does the supplementary triangular toolkit get stowed?

    In that triangular toolbox, when stowed, what is the item on the right, a funnel?

    I'm an electrician but I've never seen insulating tape in a tin, presumably this is a cloth backed bitumas type of tape?

    Interesting that the fixing for the large toolbox is called a pin, secured with a nut and washer!

    As above, great attention to detail putting that lot together, thank you for sharing with us

    A military vehicle isn't truly complete without its issue toolkit. This is the WD16H kit (or as close as I've got to it yet)...

    Where did they carry all of this kit as looks to be quite a lot? 

    What are the leather straps for, saddle bags/panniers?

    Are these a 4 speed gearbox? I have a 1947/48 Fordson Commercial Vehicles spare parts list for the 7V, the exploded view of the gearbox looks very similar to the one posted above, albeit without pto, has a blank plate/gasket shown though, and a different gearstick. Its whole part number is for the ET6 range as released in 1947, so another possible avenue for a replacement gearbox? I think the ET6 latterly became a home for the 4D engine so possibly where the adaptor plate came from originally?

    Grammatical error!

    That is a quite staggering amount of abandoned vehicles/equipment. The Wehrmacht must have had more Morris Commercials and Bedfords on charge than anyone else in June 1940! A lot of the trucks, and presumably motorcycles, were impressed into new ownership, but what happened to the tanks/carriers? Were these repurposed as per French tanks? Herr Steptoe must have been rubbing his hands together with all that scrap metal, for their war effort! What a gift horse
