How to Slide your Ferguson TE20 Together After a Clutch Repair in Real Time.

[@jvin248]

I split and reassembled my TO35 this last spring and it was such a good feeling when those splines finally aligned and the sections slid together. Turning the PTO shaft proved important.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes turning the pto helps a lot.

greeting Lance from the middle U.S. thanks so much for the clutch check tip I am about to split my MF 65 tractor and this has given me the confidence to tackle the job I also took notice of your track set up and will build something similar I'm grateful you have taken the time to share your vast knowledge

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad to help

[@darrenblattner2508]

Neat test for the clutch lance, never saw that before either. Your right full of surprises. Keep smilin

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks 👍

[@johncopse9663]

Very informative video Lance hope you and your family are all keeping safe and well

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks, you too!

That clutch tip was nice! I would not have thought about that myself :P

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad you liked it!

[@basilbrush3836]

Thank you for shearing your knowledge,I have all this to go through in the next couple of weeks.(Auckland lockdown project)

[@BundyBearsShed]

Good luck! Its not too bad of a job.

[@billweir6770]

A great short series of videos...enjoyed them all, and a great way to spend another period in isolation. Great tips that I'll remember next time and I especially enjoyed watching you fit the ring gear, and the clutch pedal setup and checks...all good stuff. I'd love to see a video on you do one on a double clutch and how you push it back together.....

[@BundyBearsShed]

Shouldnt be too far away if things go to plan

[@billweir6770]

Good job Lance.. Made me think it would be a hard job outside .

[@BundyBearsShed]

Its ot too bad, the rails help a lot.

[@bearwill4737]

Outstanding picture quality Lance & as usual top notch mechanic's from a Master !

[@BundyBearsShed]

Many thanks!

[@charlesvanderwolf5751]

Thanks Lance ---You have showed me a few things that I would not have done, and how necessary they can be. Regards Charles.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks Charles ,Glad to help.

[@tridbant]

When I did my TEA20 I had to do it outside. Due to the uneven surface I found the rear end twisted at an angle as it was going together. That took quite a bit of time to realign otherwise it would have been rather easy. Good ole Fregie.

[@BundyBearsShed]

yeah they can be a bit difficult now and then.

[@jeskasper]

I have to do mine outside as well. Any tips as how you did it, and what I should look out for? I don't have the fancy trolley jacks that Lance does.

[@tridbant]

@@jeskasper I put a sheet of metal under the jack so as it wouldn’t dig in and that it rolled smoothly. Also put wedges in to stop the front axle twisting. The main thing is when you separate the half’s try and ensure they part in a straight line and stays that way. You’ll appreciate it when joining them. I did it mostly on my own so it is not rocket science.

[@jeskasper]

@@tridbant wedges have been ready for a while. :) I only have a regular garage jack with wheels and a round lifting plate. I was thinking of making a length of 2x4 and put a hole in the middle for the jack plate, and then strap it to the gear box housing, just to make sure the tractor is supported and the jack doesn’t slip.

[@tridbant]

@@jeskasper the jack twisting is what misaligned my halves.

[@vincentburrowes9243]

Lance - the clutch test prior to fully assembling the tractor - excellent idea. This is the first time I have seen this test. Loctite 515 removal - have you tried Loctite SF 790 Chisel Paint Stripper (Gasket Remover) 510g to remove the gasket?

[@BundyBearsShed]

No I have not seen the SF790. I will ask my supplier about it.

[@dianegriffiths2460]

Great tip on the clutch Lance thanks tractor Ray England.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad to help

[@vernonjones3613]

That was brilliant lance really good tips cheers mate

[@BundyBearsShed]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Hello Lance, Good video... I bet many used the bolts to try and draw together both halves... Cheers. Paul,,

[@BundyBearsShed]

You are right then the main clutch plate gets bent and you have to do it all again.

[@ianahmet9286]

Another good video Lance

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks Ian.

[@spency787]

Hi Lance. I know this video is a little old but I’m about to tackle a ring gear replacement on my ‘49 TEA20. When you are doing the clutch test could you just turn the engine over with the starting handle instead of a lever bar on the ring gear itself? Cheers from 🇬🇧

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes you could for sure.

[@Liamautomechanic]

Good vid.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thankyou.

[@NicoleThompson-oh6mk]

Ive split my '54 ferguson tea20 apart to diagnose the reason as to why hydraulic fluid pours out of the weep hole on the front of the gearbox bell housing when the tractor warms up and comes to a stop. could you provide any information on that issue for me? thanks

[@BundyBearsShed]

Check the next couple of videos, i do one on the rear engine seal and another on the front grarbox seal that might be handy for you.

[@cjx_ferguson5451]

Good Job again Lance! Question for you the trick with engaging the gear to test the clutch with the flywheel does it also work with a TO35 or MH50 Assuming a to35 can be placed in 6th gear and follow the same procedure. I'm about to split one with a 6 speed tranny and I found that to be a really good trick.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes it works with any make I have found as long as it is not a powershift.

[@manfromthemist1958]

Hi Lance, yet another informative video, great job mate keep up the good work, and while I've got you, I'm just starting to rebuild my DB990 AD4/49 engine following tips from your vid's, everything was going well until I replaced the rear oil seal(new rope inserted as per your vid) the crank was free until then, now I have to put quite a bit of pressure on it (by hand) but when it turns, its good, should I strip it out again or is this OK?

[@BundyBearsShed]

If the rope seal was soaked on engine oil it should be fine and bed in. I worked on the DB tractors for 9 years way back and still have some of the tooling.

[@manfromthemist1958]

@@BundyBearsShed Thanks for the assurance, the rope seals were soaked for a week and put in the holders in the same way as shown in your vid, and then on assembly everything including the crank was given a good coat of EP90, which Iuse as it sticks around for longer. Many thanks Barry

[@kevinpfaff2301]

G'Day, man that would be a lot harder job without that splitter trolley!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yeah for sure but I have done them with a floor jack etc as well .

Same practice for a mf135?

Yes very similar
