Will it Shift? Abandoned Ferguson TO-35 gets a new shift fork

In a case where originality doesn't really matter (or even, obviously present itself) that "JT's Farms" blue would be an awfully sharp livery. Great job, buddy! Looking forward to the future...

[@karlfischer1011]

something i want to try in my garage I learned from a German manufacturer i worked at. they had mobile peg boards on wheels (but they were all steel) for each workstation that had all the common tools laid out. those tools were never put away in a drawer and were always handy. For my garage I would do the same thing for combination wrenches, screw drivers, sockets, and driver bits. I wouldn't need a 6x8 or whatever size the factory had, but a 3x5 or so would be plenty for a tinkerer and the wheels would make it convenient to store and put at arms reach for projects. I could get away with a lumber construction, but you may want a HD metal one or three.

[@littlelifters7543]

Montezuma made a range of “crossover” tool chests that opened up and had the main stuff layed out as you describe. Really good.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

That is a great idea!

[@ralmonrode]

You are going to do the same thing we did with the electrical junk the 6 volt. If I remember correctly the head comes off and the valve guides are held in by clips so, if you need to go that route the only needed from a machine shop if valve seats ground. We decided not to grind the head would not have done anything for power.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Yes, 6 v is history lol

[@bobveal]

So satisfying to see it go so smoothly! Can’t wait to see her finished and probably get sold down the road for another project!

That is a possibility

[@arvbergstedt3303]

Open fuel shut off 2 turns. Then if run out of gas. Turn open all the way for reserve gas to get you home.

[@zendoargos4988]

That went really smoothly...at least on camera. Hefting parts around by yourself can be a problem, at least this tractor is small enough that most of them are one man parts. I can't imagine working some of those bigger tractors like your 1800, 1805, or that Steiger by yourself. Great video, always looking forward to the next one.

Hey JT, we live about 15 miles west of Lake Michigan. I know all about humidity 😢 When I went out this AM it was already 70 F and the humidity had to be around 90%. I have lost a bolt or nut from time to time but then, shit happens. I've watched videos where the guy carefully wraps the nuts and bolts in baggies with notes inside. I've never done that. Maybe I'm special because I can tell a main bearing bolt from a oil pan bolt. Yes I keep things organized but the old junk I work on ain't that complicated. Red and Silver!😊

Right on!!

[@jeepanimal2943]

JT, with ya on the heat! I'm on the other side of the pond from you, southern Ontario. Heat's been killer lately. I'm a tad older than you and working in that crap is not good. Trying to do some property clean up, and I can only work a few hours in the morning, then a few hours later in the evening. Tried fishing during the day, but all I can catch is boiled catfish. (And poached Perch. And a Baked Bass or two.) Y'all could paint the Fergy Lambo White. With all that performance shiftin' parts, it's gonna be a speed demon now. Gotta go, blue mountains are callin'.
