Great video Dan! I live in Ohio USA, just found your channel and have subscribed. What an ingenious and simple way to adjust the clutch. On a more serious note, I want to express my condolences to you and all the British people at the loss of your monarch Queen Elizabeth.

Every day is a school day Dan, I did not know that about turning the pto to lift the linkage, really fascinating and thank you for the shout out.

[@patwatters8205]

Same here I never knew that either

[@graemebowyer4901]

Great video Dan. i'm pleased I am not the only one who did not know about raising the linkage via the PTO shaft. Thanks

[@TheStevenWhiting]

Its sad that the likes of John Deere are making maintenance impossible with newer kit. The whole point of the machines was they were repairable out in the field.

[@DonegalTDI]

All the years we had one never knew about pto linkage lift.

[@justinglenn1844]

Great video Dan,always leaning something new on your channel , thanks again

[@antonyfarming]

[@casto-]

Cow farmer Dan… the man with red hair and tractor black magic!!😁🤪. Guess that’s another job I need to do to our fergy and I never knew about the pto trick!

[@douggilroy1188]

Another great video

[@markallen6961]

You can also use the spanner to check your fuel level with the markings on the side of the spanner.

[@masseyman6290]

I was expecting him to use the spanner to measure the 10mm gap for the clutch adjustment!

[@antonyfarming]

@@masseyman6290 so was I 🤣think the spanner is the right thickness?

[@GeigerFarm]

Nice 👍🏻 thanks Dan🙂

[@jimryan5724]

Very talented 👏

[@johnholness1470]

in the spirit of vintage thursday you should have used sisal string🔧😊

[@andrewstephens6860]

I didn’t know about how to lift the plough with the spanner on the pto shaft

[@paulf2529]

Never seen that pto trick before

[@lynysabellegaspi4194]

I wish a want a ferguson tractor

[@adrianlewis3119]

Hey Dan, Great information mate, I'm learning a lot! Is it possible to install steel ballast to front wheel / hub on a TEA20 Ferguson tractor? I have 3 Fergi's and a less than flat acreage property. I appreciate your time Dan. Regards Adrian Australia

[@adrianohalloran1395]

Excellent vid can you show a 135 or is it similar

[@therusticcollectionebaysto7028]

New sub! Liked 🤗✌️🙏🌟

[@bobpaterson1845]

When your putting your collection away in storage for a while do you tie the clutch pedal down ever in case they seize uu🤔👍

[@stephenquirke9466]

Excellent very helpful. The clutch on my tef20 seems very sharp and judders. It's worse than when i first got it a few weeks ago and I'm investigating some small leaks under the engine block. Someone suggested the issues might be connected? Or is the clutch just really nervy on a ferguson?

[@CowfarmerDan]

Clutch should be smooth. Could be oil contamination on the clutch plate.

[@henrymorris2133]

Great Video again. Liked the tip with the string. I have recently acquired a Ferguson Winch, but, it is missing the top link and feet. I have watched the Video on repairing your winch and interested to know if you have the dimensions for the top link and feet so I can make some for myself. Cheers Gregor ( Melbourne / Australia)

[@CowfarmerDan]

Send me an email and I'll give you the details [e-mail]

[@poopface2527]

We adjusted mine a couple weeks ago but I'm watching this to do it again better I think it slipped. Is this the same on gas to 20

[@CowfarmerDan]

Yes, same process.

[@galwaypat5744]

Hi there I have just restored my tef 20 . It started easily before the restoration and still does how there is engine oil coming out where the exhaust meets the manifold when the engine is running . The tractor hasn't been used for the past few years . Any advise would be appreciated .

[@CowfarmerDan]

Did you do any engine work?

[@galwaypat5744]

@@CowfarmerDan No I don't do any engine work and having an engine rebuild would be very costly . A mechanic suggested that I use a topper and work the tractor hard then the problem might go away . It was fine before the restoration and guage reading normal oil pressure . I hope its not an engine rebuild .Thanks for contacting me. Pat

[@1superocky1]

hi Dan hope your well.. out t20 cluch is slipping had new one in couple of years ago there I no free play is that our problem ? just seen your video many thanks kind regards Richard.

[@CowfarmerDan]

Yes, it could be. If you have no free play the clutch could only be partly engaging causing the slipping.

[@1superocky1]

thanks Dan will try that and post back .. kind regards Richard..

[@1superocky1]

hi dan hope ypur well..followed your advice to a t .. all sorted perfect again .. many thanks take care best wishers Richard.. ​@CowfarmerDan

[@CowfarmerDan]

That's great news, well done.

[@Rosalie_brd7]

Hello, it's impossible to desengage my clutch...i did stop the tea20 during 3 months. How can we fix the clutch ? Thanx

[@CowfarmerDan]

The clutch plate could be rusted to the flywheel. Splitting the tractor is the easiest way to free it off.

[@Rosalie_brd7]

Thanx ! Is it possible even i am not a professionnal ?

[@CowfarmerDan]

Yes, it's not too difficult.
