If you’ve ever tried to run PTO equipment or set engine RPM by sound alone on your Major or Super Major, you know it’s mostly guesswork. Whether you’re trying to maintain the right speed for a hay baler or making sure your brush hog isn’t spinning too fast for safety, a working rev counter takes the guesswork out of engine management and helps you get the job done right.
What You’re Getting
- Smiths-type rev counter designed specifically for Major series tractors
- Clear, easy-to-read gauge face that’s visible even in bright sunlight
- Durable construction built to handle the vibration and conditions these old tractors dish out
- Direct replacement for original equipment – no modifications needed
Built for Real Farm Work
These Fordson Major series tractors are classic British agricultural workhorses commonly used in mixed farming operations, estate work, restoration projects, and specialty agricultural applications. These vintage tractors often require precise maneuvering around buildings, through tight spaces, and during loader work where knowing your exact engine speed matters for both performance and safety.
Made to Last
This rev counter uses the same robust construction as the original Smiths gauges that came on these tractors from the factory. The internals are built to handle decades of farm use, temperature swings, and the constant vibration that comes with operating vintage machinery day in and day out.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward – the gauge mounts in the original dash location and connects to your existing tachometer drive. If your old gauge has been acting erratic or stopped working altogether, this is a direct swap that’ll have you reading RPM accurately again in no time.
