* Roy – I have a new Tractor!

Posted on June 1st, 2009 by ploughmyfield. Filed under Roy's Tractor, TE-D20.


Just after his 70th birthday I think my friend Roy is having a mid life crisis!
He’s bought himself a Ferguson TE-D20 tractor. (TED 219332) born 22/09/1951.
Roy’s report on his purchase.

It was originally registered  in Holland Lincs, has been in Lincolnshire all its life so far.It arrived on the back of a container lorry visible in one of the pictures, I have started it but it runs rough although no knocks. The  engine oil was  as thin as water due to parafin mix   with the oil at no pressure  so popped fresh oil in and the  oil pressure was up. I have ordered parts, air cleaner rubbers,
points,
ign switch,
ign light,
id plate (for the top of steering column)
oil filter,  it breaths through the dash grill   so that rubber is shaped,
bought spark plugs.
 
I have parked it   in the garage where it will remain over the summer. The tractor had been stored some years and is oily and dirty,   I have dismantled  the air filter etc  and stripped the paint off and will rust proof and paint in a under coat   so that i have started the process  of restoration, Next week I will fit the parts to get it running better.  
 
There was an old V5 DOC  with the tractor so I have written to the DVLA hoping for the reg number  it is showing as still allocated to a ferguson on the internet .
 
Regards Roy.

    Hello Roy,

    Nice project !. It looks like it will take a bit of time but should turn out good.

    I spotted the tow ball on the back. Is that supported at the bottom end ?.

    Regards,

    René.
