Vintage Thursday. Ferguson linkage winch repair.

[@johnsweeney1712]

Great video. Useful information for me… I have a winch but I haven’t used it yet. Will do the same inspection and servicing before I pull anything with it. Keep up the good work.

[@MrBen-uk]

Great watch thanks Dan 🙏✌️

[@philipbutler9404]

Brilliant video cowfarmdan keep these videos coming be nice to see it being used to pull something.

[@s1mon1983]

Excellent video again. I've just saved an old bamford wuffler from going for scrap. Will be restored and hopefully used

[@upthereds4939]

Great job Dan. These kind of video are always fantastic! looking forward to the next one

[@baazigaj9125]

Epic vid, Dan, would you be interested in sharing the measurements of the told bar that you made.

[@henrymorris2133]

Great video very useful for my new find thanks for the dimensions

[@greengold3421]

I have the same winch top link info was very interesting and helpful thanks Dan

[@amandajones3422]

Nice to see it went well, having a lot of vintage and classic tractors and indeed implements here too I know they don't all end well😁 love your vintage Thursday , thanks and stay safe 👍

[@TheStevegrainger]

Excellent video Dan very interesting and educational thank you 👍

[@IanFletcher1970]

Excellent video Dan, love the press tool idea

[@roberthiggins6401]

I think my father has still got his. In the past we've pulled loads of small trees out with it where parts of fields had become over grown. But he definately doesn't have the stabiliser you've made up. Great stuff Dan, really enjoy watching you make these parts up and if you made the videos more in-depth and longer, maybe in two parts I'd happily watch. Great watching an engineer, engineering.

[@pocketchange1951]

👍👌🇨🇦❤, the use of CAD is great, ( cardboard assited design)

[@jimosullivan4866]

lovely job, used to have a neighbor who the same type winch but a heavier duty one, was mounted on a super major tractor ,but he also had a Gantry type frame set up the front, guessing about 15 foot high, he used the winch for pulling trees from the woods and the gantry to load the logs on to his lorry,

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

Easy way to remember, never put a saddle on a dead horse :-) a half splice around the thimble prior to putting the clamps on would make a real secure job

[@simonjohnnyrose]

this video is solid gold

[@alexkirkles5066]

It’s not a furguson winch they were manufactured by hesford try adjusting the clutch I served my time with a timber merchant they had three of these two on Bristol crawlers and a three point linkage one we also had cooks and boughton , we used a bit of old spring more durable than mild steel when putting cables on anchor your cable and use the tractor to wind it’s self back wards only safe way to keep away from the cable

[@bumpkinrocks]

Great Job Dan, really enjoyable video👍

[@JonDingle]

Another great repair video young man!

[@casto-]

Nicely done Dan, looks like you've played with winches before. Used to do the same when putting the rope back on the winch and using the break to really tighten it in, last thing you want is it being loose in there 😣. One way to tighten the clamp towards the eye is just leap frog the clamp with another clamp and work your way up ☺

[@mikejh321]

If you run the cable through two pieces of wood secured with a ratchet strap or similar you can wind the cable on and feed it nicely on to the scroll that’s how we did it years ago Dan just need enough tension on wood so cable has resistance to pull through it 👍🏼

[@bobpaterson1845]

Great video Dan 👍 it may be a small winch but used with snatch blocks be able to pull quite a load 💪💪

[@Mackeson3]

Useful tools winches. I read a story on a farming forum about a guy who got his tractor badly stuck . They tried to pull it out with a big JD 4wd but no joy. So they hung their neighbours big MF on the front of the JD but even with 2 tractors in front it wouldn't come out. In sheer desperation they unhooked both tractors and got ye olde 40 hp Field Marshall with a winch and it pulled the bugger straight out!

[@claesmansson9070]

Allways helpful with some compressed air when cleaning threads.Thanks for vid.

[@georgeroberts613]

They make left handed drill bits that often spin the bolt out as you're drilling it if not too rusted...Spiffy.

[@OutofTownwithRobinBell]

excellent video mate 👍 I can see a ransome crawly and a Ferguson rear axle

[@peteredelhofer6852]

The Clamps incorrectly installed. The Rest is good Job 👍👍👍👍👍

[@fire44x]

Good job have 2 myself sold 1 and not used it yet

[@aministratorgeneral.9298]

loosen the clamp near the hook and tap it towards the hook, this will further tighten the knuckle then tighten the clamp agian, and jobs a gooden,...😁😁.

[@iancoupe20v43]

centre punch a spot in the broken bolt drill out with small standard drill bit then drill out with a left hand drill bit nine times out of ten it will screw out when you are drilling. a farmer with a plasma cutter spot on, now get rid of the file and use a hand held 4 1/2 grinder and you are sorted, thumbs up

[@marktaylor8542]

Nice job dano.🙂

[@richardleigh1762]

Dan , I think you and The Funky Farmer should get together and have a sponsored beard shave for The NHS , make them a fortune .

[@masseyman-oc2fe]

I think we have one of these sat in a old byre in a field house

[@RichardJW1]

sometimes the sharp end of a file tapped in to the drilled hole of a broken bolt will get it out........and a bottoming tap just to clean the threads nicely

[@farmlife4518]

Do you ever use the digger?

[@timhenning18]

Cowfarmer Dan, can i have the old hook? Great video!!!! Greetings from Germany Tim

[@adrian_dickinson]

[@Reef_UK]

Thank god i'm not the only one who got it, Dans humour is exactly the right amount of understated. He's not to shoddy in the workshop either. :D

[@roberthiggins6401]

Exactly along my sense of humour too.

[@david_1948]

Yep. That made me laugh. 😄😄
