Tim ,

Came across your website on the net and was blown away by the depth of information and work put into restoring your Fergie ….well done I have found it very informative.

My son and I have 4 vintage tractors at present which we show occasionally in Scotland included within which is now a Grey Ferguson TED 1950 a picture of which is enclosed. The tractor is by and large original and includes full original cyclops light kit and number plate / light , ferguson hour meter , stanhay handbrake (picture enclosed) , original pattern tyres and an original ferguson rear view mirror.

We are feeling our way with Fergusons , this tractor had been stored for a number of years however I understand that one or two of these bits may be quite collectible.

Keep up the good work

Regards
Richard Bennie

Hi Richard,

Glad you like the site,

would it be OK to publish the email you sent on the website with the pictures you supplied?

Please send more pictures of all of those special accessories for your ferguson you mentioned.
I know it’s a subject all the readers are interested in.

can we have some upclose pictures of the wiring for the lighting Kit please. Where it goes inside the bonnet, where it goes along the engine, at the back of the dash, to the back mudguard.

Regards

Tim.

Richard  sent some more pictures back. I don’t think the plough lamp or number plate bracket is wired up as i can’t see any of the wires.

I had this email from Gary about ferguson Implements and there manufacture. I added some information  but I wondered if anyone out there had anymore help for Gary? I also thought you might find it interesting and useful.

Hi Tim,
Many thanks for putting your Fergie exploits & experiences on your website. They make great reading and are useful references.
 
I like the fairly recent one about the dealer in Sheffield.
 
I have a few Fergies and implements.
 
I am compiling a list of Fergie implement manufacturers, as per the attached, as no one seems to have one.
 
If you could fill in any gaps, I would be very grateful.
 
I have sent it to a few club members/officials but no one real response
 
I find it interesting as I come from Stoneleigh, and spent my youth cycling around the area, frequently passing the Fergie training centre in Stareton, in the Stoneleigh Deer Park. And my father was an engineer dealing with Midlands engineering companies, so as a lad, the conversation, which I would often hear on his way to work, would be that he was off to Banner Lane, or Browns Lane (Jag), or Rubery Owen, or to Land Rover etc. 
 
Kind regards
Gary
