Description

When your Ford Major starts ticking like a time bomb from the exhaust manifold or you’re seeing soot stains around those inline bolt holes, it’s time for a replacement before that crack gets worse and leaves you in the field. This exhaust manifold gets your reliable Major breathing properly again, directing those hot gases safely away from the engine bay and keeping your tractor running smooth through another season.

What You’re Getting

Proper inline hole configuration that matches your Major’s original casting design
Heavy-duty construction built to handle the extreme heat cycling from cold starts to full-power operation
Direct replacement fit – no modifications needed, bolts right up using existing mounting points
Quality casting that won’t crack under the thermal stress these old workhorses dish out
Works with gasket 42072 for complete leak-free sealing

Built for Real Farm Work

The Ford Major series tractors earned their reputation as farm workhorses back when they were new, and many are still earning their keep decades later. Whether you’re running a loader, pulling implements, or handling daily chores around the farm, this manifold is designed for the same demanding work these tractors were built to handle. The inline hole design ensures proper exhaust flow and mounting strength for reliable operation.

Made to Last

Farm tractors face temperature extremes that would kill most automotive parts, and exhaust manifolds take the worst of it. This replacement is cast from materials that handle the constant expansion and contraction without developing the stress cracks that plague cheaper alternatives. The wall thickness provides years of service in the harsh environment these old Majors call home.

Installation Notes

This is a direct bolt-on replacement using your existing hardware. Apply penetrating oil to the old manifold bolts a day or two before starting the job – they have a reputation for breaking if you rush. Don’t forget to use gasket 42072 for proper sealing, and take time to clean both mounting surfaces thoroughly before installation. Any old gasket material left behind will cause leaks.
