It had a head rebuild when I was around 7 years old by my late father who passed away 3 years ago. I remember watching him doing it on our old farm. As well as other memories of it from years ago. Very sentimental tractor to me. It throws some spits of oil out the exhaust from the piston rings being tired so it needs a bottom end rebuild really. That’s why it struggles to get going due to not quite enough compression in the cylinders to fire right up. That is so nice to hear about your Fergusons.. personally think the old machines are far better than all the modern stuff that I’ve seen over the years. Can’t beat the sound and the smell of them if you know what I mean? And thank you for the offer of your knowledge 👌 that’s very kind of you! No doubt I’m need some experienced advise as this project goes on!

It’s worth getting the jobs sorted it will see you good for a few more years yet

[@LewisFamilyFarm]

Oh yes I think so. A couple hundred quid and it’s useable again to help with the project 👌

Hopefully you'll do plenty more videos on the TEF? Great video

[@LewisFamilyFarm]

Oh yes. Putting the parts that need replacing in my shopping basket right now. Looking forward to filming the repairs / replacement of worn out parts.

Maryhill Tractor spares is the best for the water pump which is complete and the best price About £25 👍 And fitted no problem 😊

[@LewisFamilyFarm]

Thanks for the advice 👌🏻

[@lynjames4306]

You can Do the water pump but remove the fan and you Don't need to remove the cowling or the radiator 😊

[@LewisFamilyFarm]

That’s great advice thanks! I’m sure it’s going to be entertaining to watch when I get to work on it with all the the things I don’t do right haha!
