[@keithgarland3404]

Just watched all your fergie restoration videos, really enjoyed them. Great end result, job well done.

[@mydiyvehicleresto]

Thanks.

[@daveedwards6567]

Nice one 👍 good job your Massy looks great

[@mikeclifton7778]

Excellent series, nicely done, a proper restoration rather than someone throwing new parts at it. Thank you.

[@peterward5723]

you`ve given me inspiration to renovate my TEA Fergie. Thanks Denis

[@mydiyvehicleresto]

Peter, They are good little tractors that deserve to be preserved and used. Good luck.

Hey Denis I'm so pleased to find your channel I've had my TEA20 for a few years I am prepping a space in my garage now and will be begin a full restoration very soon

[@mydiyvehicleresto]

Alan, Good luck with the restoration.

[@GoneDownTheLane]

Great job Denis. So good to see another Fergie saved and enjoyed.

[@mydiyvehicleresto]

They are worth saving. My grandkids love it, and even though it won't be used as it was originally intended, it will be enjoyed.

[@kerrygleeson4409]

What a great job you have done thanks for sharing

[@talbot8907]

Amazing. Well done, considering its condition when purchased.

[@mydiyvehicleresto]

All my projects seem to be in poor condition at the start. Denis

[@richardburgers8965]

thanks for sharing your journey. I noticed the long rails on the inside of the bonnet. what do they do? they look like drawer slides

[@mydiyvehicleresto]

Richard, They are slides for the Bonnet stay. The stay stops the bonnet from moving too far forward when you open it. Denis

[@milespostlethwaite1154]

Hi Denis. Great job! What make of engine is it?

[@denisleys9047]

It is a 4 cylinder 2088cc Standard engine. I understand that the block at least is similar to the Triumph Tr3 engine.

[@markbray4537]

Hi denis, I’m doing up a tea20 here in new Zealand and are having trouble getting the right Fergusson grey paint , everything is the dark grey here, what did you use on your tractor ? Regards mark

[@mydiyvehicleresto]

The paint was Dulux Metalshield Epoxy Enamel and I selected the colour from the standard colour chart. I can't remember which grey it was on the chart. I purchased it from Bunnings. Denis

[@paintingandlife4288]

Any part numbers on the gaskets for this unit. Great work

[@mydiyvehicleresto]

Sorry, no. Parts were readily available on Ebay.

[@paintingandlife4288]

@@mydiyvehicleresto thanks for the fast reply. I’ll make a video on the one I’m about to restore. It is in very good shape compared to the one u did. The pistons are scorched and its lacking power so it will be a complete rebuild on the motor.

[@mydiyvehicleresto]

@@paintingandlife4288 Good luck with the rebuild.

[@zorro7950]

[@robertmason8940]

hi Denis can you please tell me where you purchased your tyres from as i looking for the same . I live W. A . Thank you .

[@mydiyvehicleresto]

Robert I got the rear tyres from a local Truck and Earth Moving tyre centre in NSW. Although they didn't have them in stock they were able to get them in the same day and fit them to my rims. You should have similar tyre centres in WA. The front tyres I ordered online from Heads Tractors in QLD and had them delivered by post.

[@robertmason8940]

Thank you Denis , were the front ones hard to fit ?

[@denisleys9047]

Robert Mason I tried but gave up and got them fitted with the rears. The rear tires took days to get off, even with help. Much quicker with the right equipment.

[@09amusement]

Could have saved all that work, you fitted a diesel engine radiator to a petrol engine.

[@mydiyvehicleresto]

Unfortunately for me it was supplied as one for a petrol engine.
