There's something about these old tractors you can't explaine to people, they are just magic. Back in the 70s when I was just 6 living on a farm, I learnt to drive the Ferguson TE20 (old grey) and if I had the room now, would love one again.

as a kid on the farm we had a ford 8n, and a 9n with a front loader. mr. ferguson had a huge impact on tractor design for decades. mostly because of his patents on the three point hitch. every manufacturer wanted to use it. it was so perfect, it is on every tractor made today, unless they, and their implements are so huge, they can only use a drawbar.

The first vehicle I ever drove was a Massey-Ferguson 35, on my uncle's croft up in Scotland. He had a couple of newer tractors too but the old Massey was still in regular use, and often a more reliable cold starter in the viciously cold winters up there. It would also handle the deep snow they often got up there better than the newer ones...

Hellow Lawrie. My stepdad recently bought a TEA 20 wreck, I mean restoration project. 1949. A lot smaller than the 35 in the video but other than size there doesn't seem much difference. By wreck, I mean, it was a wreck. Rotten rear mudguards, three knackered tyres (one was missing altogether) three knackered wheels, no bonnet, no fuel tank, no seat, no distributer, no ignition coil, knackered manifold, no exhaust, no battery, half the electrics missing, no oil gauge, knackered water gauge, no starter motor. So, we have had to buy many many parts for the engine first so we can see if it will run. Hmm....Maybe I should have listed what was right with it, would have been a shorter list. To throw more fun into it, neither I or my stepdad know wtf we are doing lol. But if you don;t jump in and try, how will you learn?
@lmm5 жыл бұрын
Hello, that sounds quite the project! The good news is you can buy basically everything for a Te20 new, so good luck! They're super tractors, and good on you guys for rescuing one!

I watched the other two I found cause of time to burn and I do like tractors. You were too goofy in the head for before but this time more adult and much more enjoyable. I hope this is the trend. Buying tractors because you can is reason enough for me as I did race cars. Bad to the bone cobras and other muscle cars that the tack was the only thing I paid attention to as speed was my need. I'm 72 now and crippled beyond help. But living on through the internet. Are you going to take the Ferguson back to England or keep it here in the usa? Have a good time and stay

Thanks for the feedback - there's way over a year since the international video was filmed, and getting on to two years since the first start of the MF35, so I guess I've had time to get a little more into the swing of the KZbiny thing. Hope you continue to enjoy what we're doing. It'll probably get more goofy at times, and less at others. I'd loved to have purchased the 35 and bought it home, but currently I don't think the owner wants to sell it. Thank you, we had a lovely time in the States, looking at getting back next year!

Lawrie's Mechanical Marvels what I’ve been told is that all three companies made a UK and a US version one of the versions hade a four speed gearbox and the front mounted headlights I was told it was the UK version and people from my side of the puddle got wind of the better looking four-speed and started sending letters too Massey and Ferguson and that results in them shipping many of the UK versions on this side of the puddle hell my Uncle even owned one when he was a kid and it’s now he’s dream tractor. Ford tried to do this not knowing how many people would like to buy the American step brother and they shipped the first 100 to Japan or China then they were sent to the UK (I don’t know why) they quickly realized the US wanted these hobby tractors for these farms and Ford got more cash out of it because no chicken tax and no shipping. So up here in Canada we can get them for a dime a dozen.
