Impressive Lance!!! Back into tractor work. Regards, Charles @ Nerimbera

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes, thanks, I have been keen to get back to it, cleaning sheds isn't that much fun. Had to be done though.

[@billbarnes9718]

Another great video. Thanks Lance.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lesliehaire7229]

Lance the same small bottom pin was in my feb 49 6v distributor when I took it apart today , was a right bugger to remove too. My bearing was rough but didn't see any washer above it , someone may have been there before me !

[@BundyBearsShed]

Perhaps they changed over time, like an update or similar.

[@charleshart6992]

Excellent!! Good to be back on the bench!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes it is for sure. Been too long.

Is this distributor the same year as the 1954 Tea? I have a 1953 and I’m wondering if I need to buy new contact points because I heard somewhere that later model distributors didn’t have them, or will a bit of wire brushing be fine to put them back to work?

[@BundyBearsShed]

All of the Fergy tractors had the points. If you come across a tractor with an electronic distributor it has been an aftermarket swap over. There was a thing called a points file way back and you could tidy your points up with that. Still available I believe.

@@BundyBearsShed Thanks for the clarification! I have been following all of your videos on the TEA 20 and you have helped me get my tractor to start... just. Your videos are super helpful and clear, and have really made the process easy. Bit of a self-promotion, but if you want to see it I uploaded a video. Thanks Lance!

I’m having trouble getting parts for my Lucas distributor. Have you ever heard of anyone changing to a Delco. 182852M91-TP. What’s your thoughts on it?

[@BundyBearsShed]

No not something we can do over our way.

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Good video Lance... just found a TE20 up for sale here in the UK... I just don't have enough room for it at this time... Grrr...

[@BundyBearsShed]

Oh no! Im sure it would fit down stairs there in your shop, lol.

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

@@BundyBearsShed The guys are on holiday... they would go bonkers if I had a tractor in there when they returned...

[@stevezurek7281]

Hi Lance that is one odd looking shifter,haven’t see one of them before thanks for the video mate 👍🇦🇺

[@BundyBearsShed]

No problem 👍 The shifter was in my old mans gear when I sorted it out, he painted everything. Im not sure what brand it is but I see a few from time to time.

[@pvfos]

Can you explain how it's possible to install the distributor front to back? The off center pin at the bottom can just go in one way, do you mean the firing will be off as the rotor is pointing to a piston at BDC? I am curious as I am fighting no spark on my 6 volt Tea 20. Thank you for the absolute brilliant show.

[@JACKATTACKED]

If the drive gear was off for whatever reason its possible to put it back on 180 out on the shaft. That's why Lance marked it off centre on one side, one on the shaft and one on the gear. Two marks beside each other ( .. ) means its back to where it was. If one mark was say on your left and the other was on the right ( . . ) its 180 out. So turn the shaft to line the marks beside each other. At 4.03 min closeup roughly, Lance has the offset drive on the right and marks are on the right of centre, beside each other.

[@JACKATTACKED]

Your no spark might possibly be what Lance talks about at roughly 5.50min.

[@BundyBearsShed]

The bottom offset drive can be put on the shaft 180deg out so that plays up with it but also the gear drive that runs on the cam can be out as well. Both things dont stop spark but put it in a different position to where it should be. Hope this helps.

[@JACKATTACKED]

Getting busy with the dizzy 😃

[@BundyBearsShed]

lol, You cam make it rhyme any time. :)

[@JACKATTACKED]

🤣

[@egdiryellam68]

You seem to love those bloody shifters, bet you didn't learn that as an apprentice.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Handy tool if used correctly. After doing 40 years of field service on farms I am aware of the value of them. You could not always take your full kit down to the river to get the pump or tractor going.

[@frankdeegan8974]

well now a real instructional video with actual wrenching and a little grease.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yeah finally, The shed sort out was a big job. Glad its over, well almost.
