What started out as a project for me and my son, and expecting it to take a "year or two" turned into a 5 and a half year project and counting!
When discussing the project, we decided to create a video diary, which quickly turned into the creation of a KZbin channel. The rest as they say is history!
A significant milestone; to get the tractor running is upon us and with some trepidation, of course we capture the event on video for you to experience as well.
So - will it start?

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.

Hi Kerry, thanks. It’s good to hear yours is working hard, these engines do seem to prefer working! Now we’re looking forward to getting to that point where ours can go to work too! 😉👍

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

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

[@WaterhouseForde]

Hi Charles, we are very happy with it. Glad to hear yours is coming along too. Look forward to hearing it run again 😉👍👍

[@WaterhouseForde]

When is Canada Day? (Forgive my ignorance 😉)

[@charlescase1026]

Canada Day every July 1st

[@WaterhouseForde]

😂 excellent! Well you should be all done by then! 👍😉

[@JACKATTACKED]

👌👍👏👏👏👏🥳

[@WaterhouseForde]

😂😁😁😁

[@09amusement]

Are you running with points and condenser or electronic ignition?

[@WaterhouseForde]

Hi, we went straight to electronic ignition. The distributor that came with the tractor was not correct so we had to get a new one anyway. 😉👍

[@09amusement]

@@WaterhouseForde how did you get on with the timing?

[@WaterhouseForde]

We got it running okay, good enough for the trials. I’ll get it dialed in properly when we do the final assembly.

[@09amusement]

@@WaterhouseForde I'm installing the powerspark system to my '49 6v positive ground TEa20. It Tried to run backwards though.

[@WaterhouseForde]

😱 that’s a good trick! 😂 I’m not sure how or why that would happen. I expect the crankshaft is biased to only run in one direction. Did you get it running okay? What was your diagnosis?
