Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming

[@ccfarms5815]

Lovin the restoration vidjers always like them old tractors with a bit of takin care of they work for generations!

[@kelco2246]

hi the first comment on your vids ,as a retired maintenance fitter a good tip is to use anti seize grease on the treads of studs and bolts ,it makes it so much easer to remove them for later repairs I have used it all my working life and never had a seized bolt or nut or stud after using copper slip , keep up the brill vids and all the best from Gerry

[@mikeduffy7271]

Watching from California. Grand to see you preserving a piece of history. Nice touch that it’s for your Father also. Thanks for the video very enjoyable. We had a TVO which I started driving on as a kid.

[@rogerquenault7207]

Super job Adrian, love seeing the 20 come together for you. My advice is still to respray it back to its original colour. Handy wee tractor for odd jobs around the farm 👍🏼 Thanks very much for the update,fair play to ya.

[@rickywest57]

Great Video Adrian . She coming just Grad . Don’t you just love the dogs get in the way 😂😂 lovely to see 🐶

Tis amazin that the weather was actually nicer back in May than it is August 😂😂

[@michealruddy9536]

Just done up a tef 20 myself they look mighty when they’re done. I would suggest looking at the gear selectors as the ones on mine were battered especially if you want to have it for use. The only thing is they are hard to find. They don’t make them new so you’ll have to look around at scrap yards and other places . Also this is obvious but I replaced the clutch on mine.

[@dodge7679]

Great job A..loved this one...I know your some what against it but with the new parts going on the tractor I would be tempted to get her resprayed when fully restored (my opinion at the moment)

[@johnpeppard7423]

Hi Adrian, curious where you learnt all your engineering/mechanical/wiring skills?…you are like a mechanic/electrician/farmer all in one!

[@charleshart6992]

Excellent!

[@ianhaggart1438]

Don't scrap the old rims use them as dual wheels when required that spacers and studs are still available or can be fabricated. Safer on the hills and you might be able to stop better going down them on wet grass. Great video alway a pleasure to watch. The storys the wee fergie could tell 🤔😁 seat safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Oh no I certainly wouldn’t scrap them, will get a better look at them when the tyres are off

Hi Adrian great video There is a crowd in mullingar I bought loads of stuff off for massey Buckleys if your stuck for studs etc

[@gavinclarke473]

She’s looking well now Adrian😍I just think you should have put a second battery tray on the other side we have one on ours when it’s empty you can put tools on it or anything but when you need a second battery for staying its there👍🏼just a tip if you wanted😉🤌🏼

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I know what you mean, there would of been to 6v battery’s on both sides original to make up 12v. Might do that one day

[@gavinclarke473]

@@IFarmWeFarm ye but even another 12 v battery would be grand just for starting her up on a cold winter morning or anything 🤷🏼‍♂️but you could have the battery tray empty and someone can stand there either 🤔

[@vinnycarey5343]

Great job. Better off to paint it now with all the new parts

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I have a new plan for it 👍

[@sanctuaryfarm4067]

Great video Adrian, best one yet! What are you plans for painting the tractor? With the new parts going on I would be tempted to paint the whole tractor to match it all together.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I don’t really like a fully painted Ferguson on less it’s a very very good job. Like showroom!! Think it steels there charm, but I will paint the rims, dash, seat and foot wells. Undecided with the bonnet, going to leave everything else as is. Polish up all the pipes and fittings along with the injectors. That’s kinda what i’m thinking so fare.

[@shirleysousa9739]

How’s you dad he must be thrilled with the work you are doing on this old tractor

[@IFarmWeFarm]

He’s camera shy but he is helping me, he runs every time a break out the camera 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

Getting ready for a Mow off , old fergie meets new , I don,t think Krone made a cutting bar tho. Great job Adrian

Might have to mount a set of front weights to take the krone 🤣.

[@stanbateman5621]

Adrian not sure but one of those rear tyres is on whong way round

[@IFarmWeFarm]

It is yes, someone just throw on a set of wheels to get it rolling I’d say, there definitely not original anyhow

[@eoghanbrennan9391]

Vicecrips can do anything 😂 great vid

[@eric35red]

Loving the vlog. Just got myself a te20 and want to get rid of some rust and repaint. I’m a complete novice! Is this something you have done or could you point me in the right direction

[@shirleysousa9739]

Love it

[@Johndonvan861]

With the cost off buying it & all the money you have spent on it you would a got a bigger old tractor capable off actually doing abit off work but I know that's what u wanted for sentimenal reasons, good job your doing anyway, but I personally wouldn't want to go smaller than a 35 or 35x

[@jimfehamilton]

Nice work may I suggest a small pice of wood as a spacer at the back of the battery to stop the battery moving back and rubbing on the stud head's

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Very good advise, I was going to use a piece of rubber from an old mat but wood could be a better solution 👍

[@gogisingh5111]

👍👍

[@Ford8210gen1]

If you are dealing with rust you can't reach, you can use phosphoric acid 75 or 85 %.

[@cheekymonkey666]

when i see a lot of rust i get some evapo-rust and try that first, gets rid of rust and gives a clean thread, i also if i get a real stubborn bolt or nut i use sealant and create a well and then pour evapo-rust in and wait 24 hours, its well worth getting and can be reused over and over again....

[@shane8644]

Loving the fergie vids! I've got a fordson super major to do was my grate uncles came to the farm brand new and I forget what went wrong with it around 98 don't know where to start with it 😅

Hi Adrian just wondering could you help me out bought a1953 Ferguson tef20 diesel for my son he's 15yrs doing a bit of tidding up on it there is a Bolt in the engine block leaking oil you have to take off oil filter to get at it I'm wondering can I screw it out and put new washer on it I'm afraid is it holding up something inside block.

Great video,do you ever drill hole thorough center of them old bolts.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

You can do, but I find if a bolt or nut shears off you can weld a nut on the inside to the sheared bolt and the heat alone would free it up. Have done it several times and it’s never failed

I was thinking of getting a nc super 3000 slurry pump what do you think of them

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Good mixer, we put a lower shaft seal in ours a few months back but other than that it’s being fault less. If your tank is longer than a 4 bay I’d consider the next size up if your tractor can handle it.

How would a TEF20 differ from a goldbelly ( 35 4c ), I intend doing something similar to Adrian

[@IFarmWeFarm]

35 would have more power and an overall better tractor all round. Original gold belly are hard got though. Personally I’d have a 35X over this 20 but it’s my father first tractor so that’s more important

[@johnpauloneill4829]

Might be no harm to cut out a piece of rubber the same size as your tray just for under your battery give it a we bit of cushion for clamping down.
