The Fordson Major Model E27N Tractor was introduced in 1945 and produced till 1952.
The E27N retained the Model N's 28.5 h.p. petrol and tractor vaporizing oil (TVO) side-valve engine that was fitted with cast iron pistons, splash feed lubrication, magneto ignition and a hand starting handle. The transmission was re-designed with a single-plate clutch, crown wheel differential, spur gear final drive and independent drum rear wheel brakes but the Model N gearbox was retained. There was an option of standard or high speed transmission versions, giving a top speed of 4.2 m.p.h.or 7.5 m.p.h. respectively. To differentiate between them the tractors with the low top gear had a green spot or if fitted with the optional higher gear a r ed spot was painted on the transmission case.
