Ferguson TE20 Steering Box Part 3

Hello Im Lance (aka Bundy Bear) and doing these videos is my hobby. I do own Queensland Tractor Spares in Australia where I sell parts and offer technical advise to customers.
Parts seen in our videos can be purchased from www.queenslandtractorspares.co...
We have a lot more than we can offer on our web site available to us and in our store. If you dont see what you would like please email [e-mail] and we will help where we can.
I do try and help with technical advise at [e-mail] if you have a question or are having trouble with your project.

Awesome, enjoyed that, anybody mentions use adjustable wrenches never actually used a tractor to farm, just indispensible especially haymaking in the last century...lol, before computor controlled everything. When I lived at home 70s 80s tractor tool box always had at least 2, thanks for the memories, I realized watching a previous video we are close to the same age.

Excellent videos! Truly a pleasure to watch, listen and learn.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thank you kindly!

[@ESmith-ik8vu]

Thank you for all the videos on the little grey fergie, nice to know that good workshop humour is the same in both hemispheres.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad you enjoyed it

Hi Lance. love these videos, i bought a TE20 earlier this year and have slowly been working my way through getting it sorted. your videos have provided me immense guidance and help so thanks. B

[@BundyBearsShed]

Great to hear!

[@temotu518]

Had a laugh Lance...could not wait for your vid and did same in Dec. Used a bit of epoxy as well as red oxide to tidy up inside. And even put on back to front as in vid!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Ha Ha great minds think alike is my story, lol .

[@declandiver6721]

That was a great video of doin the steering box very well explained I have alot of play in mine and needs a refurb the videos are a great help

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad it helps.

[@gdavies6980]

A video on adjusting the clutch on the TE20 would be really appreciated.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Noted! I should be there shortly.

[@simoncable8352]

Thanks Lance. Another super useful video!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad you liked it!

Thanks again Bundy

Any time!

Hello Lance, Thank you so much for this 3 part series on the Te20 steering box repair. This will be very helpful with my 1948 rebuild. Regards, Charles @ Nerimbera.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks Charles, Glad to help.

[@daveklooster4905]

Thanks, Lance, I now think I can tear into mine and stop that awful leak from the steering arms. My biggest fear is that I'll need new bushings.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Not a big issue if you do though, knock out and press in.

[@wmffgeorge1589]

Mines does to but I'm holding back till I've done some work with it, preferably make a crop of hay, sell it off and yous an amount of the money urned to do some fixing over winter. If I can help it, get it to urn it's fixing.

[@billweir6770]

Another great series of videos Lance, much appreciated and keep up the good work. Sadly there are alway going to be those who never use the wrong tool, but they have probably never worked on a tractor...or anything else. You mentioned the paper gasket for the cover plate...If you have access to old paper navigational charts they are ideal for making gaskets. It is high quality paper and is fantastic if you can't get anything else.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks 👍 I bought a laser now to try so see how that goes with gaskets.

[@ronniecumming7685]

Looking forward to the next one as that is where I am on my TED20 and need some guidance for that bit.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Possibly this weekend we will get it filmed.

[@kerbsidebob1]

Thank you that was really helpful as usual. Good man.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad it helped

[@stevezurek7281]

Great video Thank you Lance 👍👍. SZ

[@BundyBearsShed]

Very welcome

[@markbecker6882]

while not identical, very handy information for rebuilding the steering box on my American-built Ferguson TO-30

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks Mark.

[@tonydoggett7627]

I worked for a large German company once, none of the fitters had shifters in their tool kits. 36mm nut needs a 36mm spanner!

[@BundyBearsShed]

We did remote diesel fitter work out west of here and they were a common thing out in the bush, they sometimes saved a walk back to the vehicle if it had broken down down a gully or where we couldnt park close.

[@ShainAndrews]

Gonna be a day or so before I can get to this video. US is resisting the urge to implode at the moment.

[@BundyBearsShed]

I see a bit of action over your way.

[@richardschaffling9882]

Another great video thank you very much and if you paid yourself more money you would get better help

[@BundyBearsShed]

Well you may well have a good point.

[@angeshdarsan8606]

I would love to see you repair a 185 Massey steering box

[@BundyBearsShed]

I have a 188 one from the 188 that I wrecked I could possibly do.

[@angeshdarsan8606]

@@BundyBearsShed I have a 185 I'm hoping to restore it but I need to get the power steering working again and i was hoping to learn from you

[@wmffgeorge1589]

Normally if I have a good adjustable on me, I use it. In my situashon I'm almost endlessly kooking for the right spanner with no hope until after iv averted to a slolushon, often suwere I've looked countless times before.

[@BundyBearsShed]

I find it quicker when videoing at times so I dont get too worried what others think.

[@charleshart6992]

Excellent video - looking forward to seeing the TE20 completed. Will you replace the rubber round the dash?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Im not sure, I have one but it might look too new for this tractor.

[@peterwalker7869]

Do you see something wrong? Yes upside down Miss Jane.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Ha Ha too busy trying to keep in frame and talking, lol.

[@peterrogers9257]

Hi lance. A video on over hauling a TE20 transmission. I have pulled a few part due to worn out sectors and worn bearing

[@BundyBearsShed]

Great suggestion! Ill get this TEA running first there is another one up in the pallet racking, an old 1948 one.

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day mate it was good watching this very interesting and it's great that you can still get parts especially when you consider the age of her, how do you put oil into the top and bottom bearings? Looking forward to you doing the next video on this mounting it back on the tractor. Something I forgot to ask you was do you sell 1 1/2 to 2" open end spanners? I would like one for my M3 collet arbor that fits on my mill instead of using an adjustable wrench if you do I'll give you the exact size when I order it thanks lance John......the noise of the plain was very faint so your new equipment works well

[@BundyBearsShed]

Tradt tools or a company similar would Im sure. The oil goes in the bung on the back of the box, Ill cover that on fitting the box.

[@johnkinnane547]

@@BundyBearsShed thanks for replying back to me I've been everywhere down here to no avail I can get one that tight all I would have to do is mill some off the arbor, I was looking for an easy way out Regards John

[@markbray4537]

Sorry one more thing lance, did you make the gaskets for the plate and housing to the gearbox as they don’t seem to be on any website I’ve been getting parts on cheers mark

[@BundyBearsShed]

queenslandtractorspares.com.au/product/steering-box-side-gasket/ this is on my web site, the Sparex no is S.41960, The other numbers it replaces are below. I hope that helps

[@johncunnington3914]

I was yelling at the screen "It's backwards!!"....nobody listens. The have to find out for themselves.

[@BundyBearsShed]

You cant have yelled loud enough lol.

[@pm270100]

nice

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks

[@billblock3201]

Buck me was that 2 years ago I will do my one soon

[@oxfletch]

Did you manage to straighten the arm that was bent? Mine is bent on the right side (worse than yours) ... not sure what it's made of, but worried it'll crack if I press it back?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes you can press them they are mild steel and there is no problem straightening them I find.

[@oxfletch]

@@BundyBearsShed Thank you! Your time and expertise is so much appreciated. I couldn't fit them in the press easily, but oxyacetylene + vice + hammer worked great ;)

[@markbray4537]

Hi Lance , do spares sell the steering shaft bearings , I’m doing up my TEA20 and may need some , looking for some in New Zealand

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes, contact the shop on [e-mail] and they could quote for freight.

[@wmffgeorge1589]

I do need to do a bit of work on my steering wheel asembly aswell. I need to re coat the steering wheel, the deirings are a bit wobly and theirs a brake in the support that needs to be based to make it one again. I've run mynes a few times recently to do some feeding jobs on the farm (a few hevy round silage bales, it wine's on the hevy ones but it does the job), and just before starting to use it more I changed the oil, and now it drips from the exoust and last time it lost preshure, my hope is that it's just a bad gasket and not blowby so that I can leave it fore a little while and I have a plan for what to do, I'm reily hoping that I don't have to do a rebuild as I'd have to find a good place to work on it/somewhere clean, and help so that I don't do a boch job.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Try a really heavy/thick engine oil at times it can prolong a rebuild.

[@wmffgeorge1589]

@@BundyBearsShed ye, I've fought about that but I've only got universal oil on me. I'm hoping to get some, but I changed the oil becous it was starting to get low, I hoped that it was just evaporating, but alfough now it's the leaking that's problematic I think there might be some blow by too. Ist basicly a big mess and I don't know exactly what's going on but I have a vague idea, I didn't wat to but I might do a slight overall if I can work something out. As they say, 'oil is baisicley liquid gold' and considering I've been to tight to spend much on it so far I I don't want to be spending even half a galon per hour or deteriate my engine much more so that a lot more mony needs spending, so I'm guna take the smartest course of action that my idiot filed head can comprehend and try and force myself to make it halpern.

[@jerrymoore7669]

What is that round part on the right side of the dash?

[@tomroskell403]

One with shroud is Air intake. Other one Probably a blanker. ?

[@BundyBearsShed]

the round one if for an extra gauge so it is a gauge blank, the dome is the air intake on the later tractors.

[@pm270100]

is that Dura /lac dear ??????

[@BundyBearsShed]

Not from memory, but I have had it for a long time.
