Building the V8 Fergie

[@jackrichards1863]

Brilliant piece of work. A real Blueprint for guys like me who need some vision to achieve the desired success

[@asgardgeoff]

Thanks Jack. Attention to detail, is the way I try to work.

[@kukrudz]

Great video! now I want to do a V8 conversion myself.

[@asgardgeoff]

Go for it!

[@mateybuoypaul7501]

[@colmanlong1032]

[@thatswiss1385]

Wow, huge respect of your work! If only it would be road legal... Awesome tractor, looks beautiful

[@asgardgeoff]

Thank you. Its comments like that that make it worthwhile.

@@asgardgeoff Great job top quality work and i see your other build videos your sure produce some quality restorations unlike yours mine are usually just function not at all pretty.

[@asgardgeoff]

@@liberatorairpark Hi Sean, thanks for your comments. I'm in Australia, a location called Seaham, which is near to Raymond Terrace, just north of Newcastle, about 120 miles north of Sydney, New South Wales. Where are you? The plate I had flame-cut and ground each face by a company called "Oxycut", i measured and calculated hole sizes and locations myself, and then had Newcastle Machine Shop drill, and tap as required. I'll dig out the info that I have and get it to you in the near future, hopefully it will be of some assistance to you. Sounds like an interesting project.

[@asgardgeoff]

Hi Sean, again. Give me your name and full address, and I will dump everything I have on to a USB stick and post it to you. Cheers Geoff.

@@asgardgeoff Hi Geoff, Im a fair way from you those plans would be a great help. Much appreciated ! Send me your paypal i would like to cover your cost of your postage and USB at least Regards Sean

[@peteroresved972]

This is by far the finest conversion i ever seen, just love it. is it possible to get in contact with you?

[@MortenJohansen-vh2of]

do you have the messurements og the parts in better condition ?

[@danagoglia1406]

I have a massey 135 and a great Chevy 350 laying around. Is this conversion possible for me? I was also wondering if using implements is possible after conversion. Like plowing, Bush hogging..etc. How different is the torque after conversion?. Thanks you. Such a great build and video!!

[@asgardgeoff]

I would think that a 350 would go very nicely in a 135. Maybe the revs, and thus ground speed, would be too high for implement use. There are other people on KZbin who have done similar conversions, would be worth ask the question to them.

[@kevingaraway6494]

Is that a holden v8?

[@eugenelitchfield6876]

How do I pick a easy engine to do a conversion like this..

[@adamkrolikowski892]

Klasa bravo!@**.

[@bradleamon4466]

Is there any where ready made conversion kits can purchased from I was given a Dodge 361 to repower my grand father's fe 35

[@asgardgeoff]

Hi Brad. Not that I am aware of. In USA I believe there is a kit available for fitting a Ford Flathead V8 into a Ford Ferguson, but I don't know of any others.

[@andysteward8617]

I have a TO30 I’d like to buy an adapter kit for SBC conversion

[@asgardgeoff]

Sorry, I can't help you with that, I'm only a mug backyarder myself. Good luck.

[@jackrichards1863]

@@asgardgeoff Hell no! You're a tractor engineer man. It's the fact that you had the nouse and figured out the things required and then. You put the theory into material showing you're correct. Thus engineered? I have some planning in the brain for a similar thing myself which led me here doing research. I don't do predictions but I may copy your build video style after there is a completed tractor. You could sell the conversion parts that are more technical leaving the fiddly stuff to the builder like fuel supply, power circuits. Axle mods wheel choice, clutch and flywheel. This becomes a few components requiring some intelligence to get their project finished. Add a warning sticker about no liability and such actions as may cause injury or death are a real danger of using this equipment? finished. However the price also will spook a lot of jokers clear away from the persuit Ay?

[@pieterferreira6874]

What do you call the paint color please?

[@asgardgeoff]

The paint is Hammertone Charcoal.

[@vincentmcdonnell7986]

Ok

[@marscho1867]

The crap music spoils the video

[@irredeemabledeplorable5227]

A little bootleg music for a bootleg conversion....seems perfectly reasonable.....lmao
