Mine also have that ridge that you can see, I don't know why it's there. Your wings are much better than mine, it's Taking forever to fix just one, I hope to upload another video soon of the final weld on the first wing. Great video thanks for posting.

Are you running with points and condenser or electronic ignition?

Great video! I have a 2022 Stiga Estate 384 M with the same type of adjusters on the deck but i dont have any level ground to do this job so i just measured the same milimeter from the top of the bolt on the adjusters and down to the edge on the top nut on them with a caliper and got it level that way.

obviously a great series obviously informative and obvious appreciate your obvious experience on the obviously iconic ted20 - many thanks obvioiusly Nick😃

I used seam sealer around all sections of frame and rolled edge before painting And mine were brand new....

I’ve always enjoyed your low-key presentation style Gordon. All of you future projects sound fine to me. That said, I am currently developing five acres of old pasture in the middle of nowhere Saskatchewan - I’d be interested in more property focused videos along with the shop stuff. Regards

Looking forward to some new projects Gordon, any tips you can give on ride on mowers would be of great assistance (I always have problems with mine) and I've got some old troublesome trailers too!

Good you have Some Black contrast on your fergie.. it will look's super good for sure.. 😊🚜👍

Great video but I thing there might be a little mistake. The weaker spring has to go on the bottom shoe, so the master shoe runs away from the anchor pin and the slave runs against it, so you get a servo effect and you have to make sure that the master comes in action first. The movement of the drum will catch the bottom shoe first and that one will engage the top one even more with the movement of the adjuster. Btw, even the manual says nothing about how far the selflocking nut on the centraliser pin has to go. They say 2 to three turns and later that the washer should be turned by had, a wide range of options😜 Great video👍 Cheers, Dirk

I came to see how to take the deck off…..😒

Nice to see it running, well done. Sounds lovely

Hello, Is there any chance you know the part number for the pads? I have the same braking system, but my mower is a JCB TR38.

Hi! Did u have a video for changing the 3 seals of the timing casing both because I have a 2 big leaks here and I have no idea how to remove the little one of the gouvernor

Great video - found this really useful to review the brakes on my Alpina/ Stiga mower. My brakes did not actually work at all. I have thoroughly cleaned up the brakes pads and disc. They disc was glazed. The brakes now provide some level of retardation but they are very poor. I will try to adjust the lever on the staft and see if I can improve their stopping power. I have never owned a sit on mower before and I have had this from new and the brakes have never been good - wondering if all these mowers suffer with terrible brakes?

Thanks for this video. I have exactly the same set up as you, the same press and the same part stuck, stuck so solid that i was going to give up. Then i saw this it inspired to to carry on. A lot more heat a big hammer and a few hours later it came apart. Job done thankyou

Nothing is Better that a good mower 😊 I allso Think that you have a big garden as well.. good you do a good service to your machine ...if its possible you can do the blades /knife allso ... spring is allso here to norway now ...first day outside in garage now ...finally .. Michell norway ..chears 🚜👍😊

What size & Where did you get the black hose for grease. And i cant find anyone that has these grease fittings

Ideally you should never reuse spring washers, of any type. But I admit that if the washer looks good then I will reuse it too. I feel for you with that. Normally, as you tried, you drive the key out by hitting the end with a hammer and chisel. As it is a half moon it should roll out. If not then heat it red hot then bash it out. Hopefully it’s not welded.

So far I’ve been impressed. I feel you’ve been a bit anal as this is not rocket science BUT. You haven’t got long enough studs. What you have done goes against engineering safety and security. It would be best to have at least flat washers but the main deficiency is that the studs should protrude from the nuts at a minimum of one and a half threads to ensure the nut, tightened properly, will not loosen.

Well done Oscar/Gordon, I’ve followed you near enough from day one, just by chance I caught one of your early videos. That’s a great achievement to see the TED start & run after all that work. You worked through all the issues that cropped up, now it just needs to go to paint. My TED is still in the garage after starting 2 years ago, I still need to find that extra day in the week. Cheers, Paul. Cheam, Surrey.

Bearings are made to a set size. So the users design their machines to accept the bearing dimensions not the other way round. If the dimensions you measure are different then it is not a Timkin 3984 but another number. That washer is a Thackeray washer. Quite common. Water often gets into the transmission. Through the gear lever and dip stick. I would imagine your oil was milky coloured. But you were doing good.

A good wallop with a 2lb hammer onto the top of the puller often loosens a bearing

That is a tab washer and is used normally inside motors. You bend one over the nut and the other tab over a fixed part. Obviously they had to use whatever parts they had at the time.

Those screws alrways tighten over the years with vibration, corrosion and the wheel hub pressing against them.

Great to see it progressing, well done.

To test the dynamo it self you take the belt off, and supply batteri to both terminals on it. If it runs slowly like an engine it ok. Thats also the way to magnetise it.

Here in the States, most people have changed these over to 12 volt alternators.

Excellent help.

Always polarise generator before doing ANY tests. Also instead of a piece of wire between D and F. I always use an AMMETER. You should be seeing 2 AMPS as your field resistance is 6.1-6.4 ohms. Also a lucas generator will take a maximum of 8500 revs, but 1500-2000 is adequate. 😊

Thank you great video

Well that is a feel-good achievement. Congratulations

WELL DONE to you all, love the sound.

Good stuff, great to see that chapter finished. Yep, the oil gauge should be lhs. I've done all the painting before assembly and can confirm that it's a laborious job, especially if you're doing each bit individually rather than just blowing paint over everything assembled. I used the wife's old plastic greenhouse as a makeshift spray booth set up in the garage - worked well and had lots of space for hanging bits and pieces from. Ref your process for prep, and given you have already undercoated /primed, you might be better off wiping down with a solvent eg IPA rather than degreaser /wash as you might end up inadvertently leaving more residues that will get in the way of the paint.

Super Nice to See Oliver and you driving with the fergie ..😊🚜 and it went so well . About last video I Think that you dont have to be Worry About getting temp/heat so engine block so termostat will open so you can See/check all .. my TEF20 take 1 hour off driving to get warm and 1,5hours off driving before block ..bellhousing ..coolent and everything to get about 87 degree .. so it takes time but you Will get there when juse and drive it ..😊😊🚜👍 there is a lot off mass to heat up .. Thanks for the updates and video .. 😊Michell norway ..

Well done Oscar, great driving! It's great that you've got her going so soon after her first start. Looking forward to the paintwork and thank you Gordon for keeping going with these great and informative videos.

Great to see the everything coming together! Regarding the oil gauge - my ‘53 TEA has an original dealer installed unit in the left gauge hole. As far as I can tell Canadian TEAs were shipped from Coventry with only a temperature gauge installed on the right side of the dash.

What a milestone! Well done! Great to see her starting so well after all your hard work, Looking forward to her first trip out.

Oscar has been a long time waiting for this day

I just started my '51' TED20 and it took 3 minutes and 51 seconds before the needle started to move.

Do you have the fan shroud. It helps the fan pull air thru the radiator. Block the radiator with a piece of cardboard to help get the temperature up while you are testing it.

Well done, doff my hat to you sir 🎩 👏👏👏

I made a video on those style gages. The quality on the ones we get here in America are hit and miss. The catalogs do not tell you the pressure range they are designed for. I went thru several different kind to get one that would work because the pressure range to the scale of the gage is unknown or they were defective. I think the next time I will stick to a Stewart Warner classic series gages.

Hi I tried to repair my old one but the top ceramic cracked when undoing the contact upper screws when trying to put some packing behind them. I bought a new one but when I put it in place to put the four bolts in it wants to spring towards the back of the tractor, when it is finally bolted down if I connect the battery the starter motor spins as if it is in the start position on the gearstick without actually moving the gearstick. Any ideas please? Thanks, I understand you have not tried a new one.

Congratulations from Norway. Well done! Can't wait to start on my 1954 TEF.

Congratulations! It is always a relief when they come to life. Now comes the fun part with the little fiddly bits.

Well done! Gives me hope for mine! Please keep going with the videos!

There is nothing more satisfying than to hear the engine fire up. Well done mate. Our TEA20 is working hard after its well deserved engine rebuild 12 months ago. The Australian delivered Fergy has been with us since 1980.

That’s great you must be very happy l am only about half way there 😊

Brilliant! Looking forward to the fine tuning!

YAHOO, Good Job. The engine starting after an overhaul is a great sound. It makes you smile with satisfaction. My project is now three years along and still moving forward. If I'm lucky the tractor will be in the local Canada Day parade this year. TTFN/CDC
