How to fit your Ferguson TE20 Ring Gear to the Flywheel

[@darrenblattner2508]

I never knew the ring came off so easy, I only ever seen guys cut them, Good video Lance. Keep smilin

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks, you too!

[@tractorroo22]

Nice one Lance. I used to love doing these for the apprentices to show how easy it was. It’s a great example of expansion and contraction as they were usually convinced there should be something else holding it on to the flywheel. 👍

[@BundyBearsShed]

Very true!

[@gertkristensen6451]

You have to warm the ring for themselves .. The flywheel takes the heat out of the ring as soon as you can get it in .. Believe me I have made hydraulic cylinder where it should be the first time otherwise everything was to scrap bin

[@BundyBearsShed]

This works ok, it is what we did on field service for 40 years now

[@jamessmejkal8803]

I always thought the best way was to slightly heat the ring gear before installing it but not with it on he flywheel which will heat up and expand also, same as an automotive fly wheel. Of course I am sure he has installed more than me.

[@BundyBearsShed]

The heat is concentrated on the ring gear and not the flywheel mass. The flywheel can still be handled easily.

Excellent demo

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thankyou.

My '55 TEA20 has a flywheel with no lip and ring gear has moved between the 3 mounting bolts. Do you know when change was made to having lip on flywheel as looks like mine has been changed for some reason.

[@BundyBearsShed]

No I wasnt aware of a flywheel like that.

Quantos dentes tem essa gremalheira não tou achando aqui no Brasil eu tenho um ferguson to 30

[@BundyBearsShed]

The TO30 has a continental engine that we dont have here in Australia so I cant help Im sorry.

[@transblinblindagensblindad7857]

Brigado aqui no brasil chegou alguns modelos hoje eu tenho dois belo tratores

[@markhiggs5896]

I was thinking about putting my flywheel in the freezer and putting the ring gear on the BBQ and see how easily it would drop over the flywheel lol

[@BundyBearsShed]

Worth a try if you have the gear available.

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Good video Lance...

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks 👍

[@BleuJurassic]

just dont hit the cut leaver ...... great video why not drop the pilot bearing on when its warm

[@crankydavesmylfs4787]

I was taught when I was an apprentice to put your thumb underneath the lever just so no one could walk past and push it down on you.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Ok I had not heard of that.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Probably no real reason, just habbit.

[@crankydavesmylfs4787]

Bundy Bears Shed Not knocking you Lance. Just adding my 2 cents worth to Bleu Wolf. I was a boiler maker. You’re nowhere near the cutting temp anyway.

[@kt3537]

Great method & info🤠

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad you think so!

[@kevinpfaff2301]

that's how they used to get "tires" on the old steam locomotives.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes and the steel rims on the horse drawn carts.
